Community Privacy Policy

It has come to our attention that there are people who have taken advantage of this system to stalk and gain access to information that some of our very amazing paid subscribers share. There has been a direct correlation with misinformation regarding myself (though that’s just par for the course, I’m used to it), but more importantly direct attacks and statements made about my team members, particularly Caitlyn Penke ( ) and Madeleine Dubus ( ).

While the internet is the internet, and I have not used it in a long time and no longer engage actively on Reddit nor any other social media platforms myself (I can’t even log in to my mangelakos handle on Reddit, but have been shown stuff), Substack is a wonderful virtual location for my fans. I used to take my fans for granted, was very cagey, was very scared of many things, but the lesson I have learned here is the open engagement with many of these people has taught me that while boundaries are important, they are easily respected by sane individuals.

We will not tolerate anyone gaining access for the purposes of gossip, intimidating my team and fans, or endangering this community.

As for my stories, I have always been an open book (just look at the internet), but I am now 38 years old and have learned a great deal about what I need for myself and where to draw the line. I am blessed with an incredible support network that has grown tremendously especially with the ever-increasing number of shows and regular performances, as well as my willingness to finally go out there and give my career another go.

The only thing I really would love is for people who are not fans (which is totally fair and, also, I don’t blame you) to please simply not come on here. Have at me in all other forums, I don’t care. I am not even that famous, and I’m just trying to get back to work. I am far from perfect, so are you, so let’s just all chill a bit.

Thank you,

Michael Angelakos, 5.27.2025
