Beginning on May 11, 2021, Daniel began claiming that he and Grace were working on a collaboration that would be released soon. Later, he further claimed on TikTok that he and Grace had started a romantic relationship. His behavior escalated very quickly, and he began approaching strangers on the street to assert he was in a relationship with her. More disturbingly, Daniel posted multiple videos directed toward Grace that were sexual in nature, such as moaning and whispering for her pleasure. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/13kpc3t/this_message_is_for_grace_uhhhhh_ohhhh_mmmmm_oh/</ref> In stark contrast to his lascivious posts, Daniel also posted hysterical videos about her 'breaking up' with him, including calling her a bitch and using various other expletives.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11pt54u/you_are_a_fucking_bitch_grace/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1 https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11pt54u/you_are_a_fucking_bitch_grace]</ref> Although Daniel has issued multiple apologies for the sexually charged videos directed at Grace, he continued engaging in this behavior. While malicious trolls have played a role in deceiving and reinforcing his belief that he was in a relationship with her, his actions have consistently demonstrated an intense and persistent obsession.[[File:DanielGrace.png|thumb| Daniel mogs Grace with his Greek God-esque Jawline.|left]] | |||
Daniel continues to insist that his obsession with Grace is not sexual, claiming instead that he simply "...wants to have a chance" with her.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/123yv4y/daniel_denies_pedophilia/</ref> However, | Daniel, aware that Grace was under 18, made multiple posts claiming that he would, "...wait until Grace is 18." His claims about their relationship have shifted depending on his delusions at the time: when framing it as romantic, Daniel refers to Grace as his girlfriend; when perceiving it as sexual, he described explicit acts he wished to engage in with her. Daniel even released a song about his perceived "relationship", in which the most repeated word was "sex". <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKIBaMTLODM</ref> In 2022, after Grace turned 18, he recorded a video of himself having an orgasm while whispering her name. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/zcrw51/removed_by_reddit/</ref> | ||

</gallery>Daniel | </gallery>Daniel has expressed an intense fixation on Grace and has frequently directed obsessive behavior toward her, similar to his focus on other individuals, including [[Bob Proctor|Bob]]. Posts made by Grace on TikTok or Instagram were often inundated with frequent comments from Daniel, creating the impression of a real-time interaction with her. Daniel repeatedly mentioned and tagged her in his own TikTok videos, causing her notifications to be dominated by his messages. This behavior continued across nearly all of his TikTok accounts and ultimately led to the termination of one account for repeated harassment. Shortly after, Grace added filters to her TikTok comments to block terms such as "Daniel Larson," "Mr. President," and "Danderson" to prevent further interaction. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEyEUscOr6A&feature=youtu.be</ref> | ||
