In response, the content creator explained: “I’m not a victim. My dad’s best friend never did anything inappropriate before I turned 18.
“When I turned 18, I was the one who fell for him and initiated everything.
“He was really hesitant to get involved because of my age, so it was completely up to me.”
Megara claimed that she feels “really respected” in her age-gap relationship and is happy to be with an older man.
She confessed: “My dad’s best friend is actually very sweet and respectful! Our 26-year age difference means nothing.”
