A COUPLE have hit back at haters who say they are just using each other.
Michael, 52, and Leslie, 27, from the US, swear they’re in love, but it seems not everyone is convinced.
Speaking on Love Don’t Judge, the pair sat down with Leslie’s friend, Sarah, who branded Michael an ‘enabler’ and was taking advantage of her.
According to many of Leslie’s friends and family, they think that Michael is taking advantage of her and is bribing her to be with him by paying for all of her surgeries.
While Leslie’s friends say Michael is the problem, she admits she wouldn’t be in a relationship with him if he didn’t pay for her surgeries.
She said: “I would never date a man who wouldn’t pay for my procedures. My first impression of Mike was that he’s rich.”

Leslie revealed that Michael had paid for a boob job, rib removal, butt implants, fox eye surgery and a nose job. Over $150,000 has been spent on her surgeries so far.
She’s also planning another boob job and a facelift that she expects him to foot the bill for.
Leslie said: “If Michael started to tell me no, I wouldn’t be with him. It would be the end of the relationship for sure.”
But Michael doesn’t seem to mind splashing the cash so his girlfriend can achieve her goals.
He added: “She’s like my real life doll.
“She’s got a certain look in mind and a goal to achieve. And I love goal achievers.”
The pair have now been together for five years, and Michael helps Leslie film content for her OnlyFans account.
Despite being together for half a decade, she said friends and family are still cautious.
“My family was originally weirded out, but they know I like older men cuz they have money,” she explained.
“My friends think that Michael is forcing me to be with him by paying for my procedures. They think Michael bribes me to keep me around.”
Despite the hate, the pair revealed that they wake up every day happy to be together.
The clip went viral on Love Don’t Judge with over 4,600 views and people were quick to share their thoughts on the lovers.
