As a celebrity manager, Chad Teixeira lives a life that most of us could only dream of. He is the chief executive of his own business, Daddy The Agency, where clients include Daniella Westbrook, Nicola McClean and former Love Island contestant Jack Keating. We discuss his experience of being taken advantage of by a person he met online.
Teixeira is frank about the fact that as a successful entrepreneur, he has a fair amount of disposable income. “Not trying to blow my own trumpet, but I do well,” he says. “I live in a gorgeous house; I’ve got a house in Portugal, another in London. I live a fabulous lifestyle.”
Furthermore, his job as a celebrity manager means he is surrounded by “a lot of high-calibre people, loads of big names and stuff.” All of this, he acknowledges, can attract “the wrong people”.
One such person would appear to be the ex whom Teixeira met online. He feels that the person “saw a golden opportunity and ran with it”. Their relationship started off normally, but then, he says, “little red flags started to pop up”.
Teixeira would be the one to buy dinner every time they went out, or if they went on holiday he would blow “30 or 40 grand” on a holiday for the two of them. It was all very one-sided, he says, and “nothing ever came back”.
As the relationship got more serious, Teixeira’s then partner would start to need a couple of extra hundred quid to make ends meet, which then became a couple of grand, which then became tens of thousands. “And eventually, before I knew it, it was like every week I was lending him money, and it wasn’t coming back.”
Eventually, Teixeira reached a point where he couldn’t keep up the charade any longer. “I realised I’m actually being taken for a mug. You can only be taken for a mug for so long before you flip.” Once Teixeira could see through the lies, the greediness and the “using”, it all added up, and the relationship finally came to an end.
Chad Teixeira: ‘Forget about the financial loss, because that’s nothing to me, but emotionally and physically, for someone to do that to you and use you, it’s really terrible.’
