Hélène Boudreau is breaking her silence after reportedly being scammed out of $1.5 million. The OnlyFans tycoon was duped by a real estate developed that allegedly is tied to organized crime.
Boudreau, who first made a name for herself following her iconic UQAM grad pic, has since become one of the top adult performers on the online subscription service.
Boudreau managed to amass an impressive net worth thanks to her online content. After wishing to diversify her sources of income, it appears as if Boudreau put her trust in the wrong people in 2021.
It was during this time that she met Rhéal Dallaire, the real estate promoter, not knowing his alleged ties to organized crime.

Per the Journal de Montreal, Dallaire had his home searched last year, along with members of Hells Angels, and of the since-murdered mafia boss Francesco Del Balso.
Boudreau reportedly arranged to use Daillaire as a front for the purchase of two triplexes worth a total of $3 million in the VillaNova project in the Montreal borough of Lachine.
Now, Boudreau is suing Dallaire for the amount she invested and/or to pay the remainder and have the homes put into her name. However, Dallaire, who has denied all claims, is still demanding $3 million and threatening to keep the buildings, as part of a “fraudulent maneuver”.
Boudreau is also seeking $150,000 for the stress and inconvenience she claims to have suffered.
Although Boudreau has not been able to speak out regarding the alleged scam, since it is a legal case, she has broken her silence on Instagram, sharing how she has been doing amidst the chaos.
“Over the last few years, I have overcome a lot, but this one is very personal and above all unfortunate because I put all my trust in a project that was for my greatest dream,” Boudreau said on her Instagram Stories.
“When something like this happens to you, it stays with you for life. It’s an open wound. I feel robbed and I hope with all my heart that I’ll forgive myself one day for trusting so easily.”

Boudreau explained that she remained silent for so long and while she is by no means looking for pity, she is simply hoping that her story stands a warning to others.
In a separate post to her Instagram Stories, Boudreau mentioned how she even has little trust in those closest to her, including her parents, following this real estate nightmare.
In her final Stories post, Boudreau remains positive, stating that she has a court case to win and that she fully plans on walking out victorious.
“I lost all my confidence in everyone…even me,” Boudreau said. “But I am taking all my power back.”
