Michelle Hadley, featured in Netflix’s “A Toxic Love Story,” has asked a Los Angeles judge to impose a lengthy prison term on her ex-boyfriend, Ian Diaz, in a letter obtained by TMZ on August 3, 2026. Court records show Diaz and his former wife, Angela Diaz, orchestrated a harassment and framing scheme using fake Craigslist “rape fantasy” ads, leading to Hadley’s wrongful arrest and three-month jailing. Ian Diaz previously received a 10-year sentence and is now challenging his conviction, while Angela Diaz has completed her prison term.
