STRIFE COACH

Sex offender convicted of stalking moonlights as ‘narcissist hunter’

- BY SALLY HIND

A COME Dine with Me sex offender has been blasted over her online persona as a life coach after she was convicted of stalking.

Lucy Haughey – who won the hit Channel 4 cooking show the same year she was convicted of sleeping with a 15-year-old boy – was sentenced this week for a relentless social media campaign against her latest victim.

But the 43-year-old mum, from Glasgow, has also sparked fury for moonlighti­ng online as a “narcissist hunter” and “profession­al coach” who brags about raking in cash for dishing out relationsh­ip advice.

A source told the Record: “Haughey destroys lives. She makes very disturbing videos and posts them online.

“I believe she is going to cause someone a lot of harm.

Haughey first hit the headlines in 2017 after being given a three-year community payback order for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old.

She pleaded guilty after boasting to a pal online: “I’m glad it was me and not a skinny, skanky 15-year-old schemy.”

This week, she was back in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court facing sentence for stalking Joanne Bell. Haughey was hit with community service and a five-year non-harassment order over the case – two years after being issued a 10-year ban on contacting another woman she had stalked.

But Haughey claims to have a huge client list who pay her for advice in identifyin­g “stalking” behaviour of narcissist­s – defined as individual­s who have an undue fascinatio­ns with themselves.

In one of scores of online videos, posted in December, she plugs her latest book on how to maintain no contact with a narcissist.

Haughey claims to “diagnose victims” of narcissist­s and help them identify harmful behaviour.

She said: “I will take them through the toxic 22, which I designed, which will pick out whether this person has been gas lit, manipulate­d, lied to, cheated on...”

In another recent video, Haughey said: “I make money as the No Contact Coach but I’ve been the narcissist hunter for quite a few years now.”

She adds: “This is a safe place for people to talk about narcissist­ic abuse. It’s not a place to talk about me and ask about me personally.”

But some online bloggers have warned against Haughey’s content and posted videos exposing her previous conviction­s.

A source told the Record: “Haughey destroys lives. She tries to destroy you.”

On Tuesday, Haughey was convicted of engaging in a course of conduct which caused Joanne fear or alarm by repeatedly posting on social media about her, repeatedly uttering offensive and abusive remarks towards the victim’s family.

She destroys lives. i believe she is going to cause someone a lot of harm
