Grace Avery VanderWaal (Born January 15th, 2004) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress[1] whom Daniel Larson has had a long distance relationship with, since as early as 2021. Daniel's obsession with her started with his hyper-fixation with fame and his desire to date a celebrity, starting when Grace was 17 years old. Even when she was 17, Daniel made various posts claiming that he would "wait until Grace is 18". Daniel has claimed to be in either a romantic or sexual relationship with Grace depending on how he's feelings, or delusions.[2] Be it romantic, he claims that Grace is his girlfriend. Be it sexual, he explains the various explicit sexual acts he'd do to her. Nonetheless, it is extremely disturbing.

Beginning on May 12th, 2021, he claimed that he and Grace had some sort of collaboration in the works that would be coming out soon. This soon escalated to telling random strangers on that streets that he was dating her, to him recording multiple videos of himself moaning and whispering in a suggestive way supposedly for her, to becoming hysterical about her allegedly "breaking up" with him, to him apologizing for the multiple sexually charged videos made about her. Regardless of malicious trolls tricking and persuading him that he was dating Grace, he went above and beyond to show his unbridled obsession with her.

Daniel always reserved a special place reserved a space of Grace as his primary target of harassment and delusion. Every once in a while, posts made by Grace on TikTok or Instagram would be filled to the brim with comments by Daniel, as if he were having a conversation with Grace in real time. Furthermore, in any TikTok post that he made surrounding Grace, she would be tagged, resulting in her notifications being filled with nothing but Daniel, so much so that one of his TikTok accounts was suspended for his constant harassment towards her.[3]

During a moment of delusion, an extremely distraught Daniel, seemingly because he is without access to his phone, posts on TikTok for people to get him information. Based on the content of these videos, he is under the impression that there has been some kind of accident and that the VanderWaal family, whom he believes were in contact with him up until this point, is refusing to give him information regarding something he claims to have happened to Grace. In this video, he hits himself and threatens to end his own life. This never ended up happening.

Later, on the 4th of July 2021, he uploads a video to YouTube mourning the supposed deaths of Dave and Grace VanderWaal. In this video, Daniel simultaneously believes Grace has commit suicide and suffered a heart attack, but before he does any of that, he cries and apologizes for sexting minors and sending Grace, or whoever he thought was Grace, pictures of his genitalia. He promises to repent for the bad choices he's made and continue her legacy.[4]

Eventually, he discovered that Grace had not died, and continued his regular obsessive posting about her, resuming instantly. Grace has never publically acknowledged Daniel, but according to messages from her mother, Tina VanderWaal, she wants nothing to do with him. Grace is most commonly impersonated person by "trolls", due to making it extremely easy to gain Daniel's trust because of his desperation and lust for her. On multiple occasions, he is shown to have made a fool of himself by talking to these trolls. Even when acknowledging that there are multiple people pretending to be Grace to gain his trust, he never manages to completely acknowledge that these people are actually trolls, lest he have to accept that Grace and her family are absolutely horrified by Daniel and want nothing to do with her.

Contact

Grace's mom responding to what is most likely thousands of messages from Daniel

Grace has never publically acknowledged Daniel despite thousands of spamming attempts and posts by Daniel and other trolls. However, this obsession culminated into Daniel being contacted on July 25th 2022 by Grace's mother, Tina VanderWaal. Although, it was not on the best of terms. She contacts Daniel, telling him to stop making contact with her family, especially her daughter, and that all of Daniel's actions and feelings are in his own mind. Along with this, she claims to be in contact with the police, and if Daniel refuses to stop making videos about her daughter, she will presumably press the issue to possibly get him arrested. This has still not happened. Following this, Daniel responds by stating that he understands but will be ending his life that night. He does not, most likely saying it as a way to guilt-trip her.

" Stop saying my daughters name. Stop saying you are in a relationship with her. You are scaring her and our family. Everything you have said and done has been in your own mind. You need to access some mental health support and stop harassing my daughter. I have contacted the authorities and will continue to press the issue if you don't stop making disturbing videos. You followers have harassed my daughter long enough. STOP. " -Tina VanderWaal, confronting Daniel.


This interaction with Graces mother would be the focus of multiple videos and community posts for quite some time after. Daniel would post multiple videos crying and/or hysterically apologizing to the VanderWaal family, continuously addressing the "Allegations", which fluctuated from admitting his misdeeds to pretending they had never happened at all.

In an act of what can only be described as pity, mixed with empathy, Tina made a comment on one of his livestreams begging him to stop his obsessive posting about her and her family, once again.


God Daniel….. do you think I’m watching your lives? whoever just contacted you claiming to be me was not me. I have no idea who Ox even is. I don’t want you to talk about Grace or our family anymore. I have only replied to you once when you DM’d me a couple of weeks ago - then I told you to stop saying Grace’s name but clearly you refuse to listen. Stop all of this. Everyone communicating with you are trolls trying to get you to do crazy things. Please STOP. -Tina VanderWaal


Upon receiving this message, and instead of stopping at her request, Daniel kept on pressing her with responses, asking her questions and various other things, which did not receive responses from Tina. Tina sent many public messages to Daniel on the account of Daniel's constant, strong penchant of censoring messages he has been sent so he can be seen in a better light. Disregarding her messages, Daniel continued to post about Tina, Grace, and the VanderWaal team


I do mind. Stop everything to do with our family ESPECIALLY my daughter. You are making me reply publicly so you can’t censor what I’m actually saying to you. I’ve spoken to DDRC as well as the Denver police and Denver FBI. Do you really want to continue this? Again, just stop. Your reality is not real. -Tina's third, and final comment to Daniel.


Daniels's responses following this was himself belligerently asking for forgiveness, claiming things got "fucked up" because of his supposed "past friendships", although once again, never receiving a response. As of 2023, this was the last comment or message Tina has verifiably sent to Daniel.
