  Hello. My email address was stolen, presumably by my ex. He has been morally questionable with his behaviors pertaining to said email address.

  Apparently there was or he signed up fir accounts with word press and gravatar. I need to find out what steps I need to do to remove these accounts as fraudulent, reclaim them accounts or what I need to do to prevent him from posting the ruinous information he has been posting as well as stopping him from using and preventing the use of the gravatar account for recognition and reputation.

  Your time is greatly appreciated.

  Respectfully,

  Jennifer Snelgrove Aka Jennifer Daniels.

  Hi there,

  If an account was created using your email address, you can use that email to reset the password at https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and gain access to the account that way. Make sure you’re completely logged out of WordPress.com before trying to reset the password for another account.

  Once you’re logged into an account, you can close it from the account settings page at https://wordpress.com/me/account
