Adrienne Koleszár tried to balance her work and pastime activities in a way that she could enjoy life both during and after work hours. She was a dedicated police officer passionate about defending her community. Suddenly, her past activities caught up with her and she was given a choice that she felt unable to make. What was this choice and how did Adrienne overcome it? Read on and find out.
Serving Her Community
Police officer Adrienne Koleszár was dedicated to serving her community. When she realized something so important to her was about to be taken away, she was forced to take a step back and reexamine her life.
She was living in Dresden, the capital of the eastern German state of Saxony. Dresden is widely known as a city with a rich history (once nicknamed the "Jewel Box") making it popular for both tourists and criminals alike. Adrienne had been serving in the Dresden police for just a few years.
Not A Simple Job At All
Any police officer can tell you that their job is not defined by the area they serve in because they have to keep on performing their duty no matter if the area is safe and crime-free. In Adrienne's case, she had to remain in optimal shape to keep up with the demands of her work in Dresden.
She could've become lazy, but she spent most of her free time in the gym to stay in shape for the job. So, when she started to share her workouts on social media, she never thought that it would cause so much trouble. But then again, no one knew that she would become so popular either.
Just Random Workout Videos
The videos began simply. An exercise here, another fitness or nutrition tip there. But soon things really started to catch some momentum.
Soon enough, she realized how much fame and love she was getting. Although her followers were just a few thousand, she was excited to see how easily she could reach her fans. While her followers were increasing with each passing day, people in the police force also started to notice her sudden rise to fame.
Inspiring Others
Adrienne not only posted workout and modeling videos, but she also decided to use social media to motivate others. So, she started to post inspirational quotes as well. She was a crime-fighting policewoman during her duty hours and a small Instagram star during off-duty hours. Fans loved her unique perspective about life and they were eager to know more about her. But even she didn't know that her popularity would soon explode.
As a dedicated policewoman, she was satisfied that there was no conflict between her career and social media. She continued to work hard while using Instagram as a place to enjoy herself. As she was not hiding it from anyone, her colleagues knew about her social media presence as well. She didn’t know that one specific event would have such a huge impact on her life.
No Reason To Stop
As Adrienne kept on posting videos of her intense workout, selfies, and inspirational quotes to motivate people, her number of followers started increasing way faster than before. There was no reason for her to stop it because she was enjoying every bit of it. Most importantly, people enjoyed what she posted on Instagram.
With her growing popularity, big companies started to approach her to sponsor their brands. In fact, many companies even offered her massive paychecks to promote their products. Adrienne was living the life of a successful social media influencer. And now that she was making extra money on the side, there was absolutely no reason to stop.
Taking A Break From Work
Now that Adrienne was getting a lot of success on social media, she wanted to enjoy life. As there is no denying that the life of an officer can be tough, she decided to take a six-month vacation to travel to relax her mind and body.
It made sense because she was making enough from Instagram sponsorships that she could afford a vacation even without receiving any paychecks from the police force. At the time, her colleagues at work had no problem with it.
Adopting A Traveling Lifestyle
Traveling can begin as a vacation but soon turn in to a lifestyle. Adrienne got to enjoy life to its fullest and that's when she knew that she had to take it a step further. Her fan base really enjoyed the photos she posted when she was on a six-month vacation. In fact, it helped grow her popularity even more.
So, you can imagine how she was feeling at that time. By having so much fun in just a few months, she started to rethink some concepts of her life like if her job was giving enough freedom to her to travel.
Returning As A Semi-Celebrity
Adrienne spent six months traveling and returned to her home in Dresden as a completely new person. She was already quite popular before traveling for six months, but now her fame had reached new heights. By then, she already had over half a million followers. She became a social media sensation as articles started dubbing her as "The Most Beautiful Police Officer In The World”.
As she was getting a lot of attention from everywhere, it raised the eyebrows of her colleagues. It seemed like her popularity and lifestyle was getting in the way of her police life.
And Then Came Negative Attention
When Adrienne was not so popular, she only got positive attention. But when she was getting used to her fame, she started receiving hate. Although she was strong enough to face criticism, it is another thing when people are cruel and resentful.
She was okay with backlash from others, but she didn't expect it from her colleagues. It seemed like her colleagues were not happy with her getting all the attention and they were planning on making it obvious to her.
Talk With The Boss
When Adrienne came back, her colleagues were super excited to see her. After all, she had been away for nearly six months. Things seemed like they were taking a turn for the worse though after her boss called her in for a meeting.
Although there could've been numerous reasons behind the meeting, she had very little positive feelings about it. In her heart, she knew that she had been pushing her luck for about a year. Initially, she thought no one would notice it. But maybe her lucky days were over.
The Police Force Needed Her
To Adrienne's surprise, her boss told her that the police force badly needed her services. It was because the increase in crime and the police department was already understaffed. The boss explained to her that they needed close to 1,000 more police officers for Dresden.
It turned out that while Adrienne was on the vacation of her life, the police department was suffering badly due to a lack of police officers. She wasn't expecting such a response from the boss. But that wasn't the only thing he had to say.
Inappropriate Photos Concerns
After the boss explained why the police department needed her to be part of the force, they made it clear that everyone in the department was not happy with her. Even the boss scolded her for posting inappropriate bikini photos. The boss believed that posting such photos is not what a policewoman should be doing.
He also told Adrienne that higher police authorities were also not happy with what she was doing. The higher authorities didn't want to fire her, probably because of an already understaffed department, but they wanted to make it clear that they were not happy with the way she conducted herself. She couldn't believe it when the boss told her that her actions shamed the entire department.
Leave The "Other Job"
Although the department was angry at Adrienne, she was given another chance. The department gave her a choice to continue working as a police officer but with one requirement: leave her other job. The department made it clear that she could not have both of them.
Adrienne had a difficult decision to make because she loved her life as an Instagram model and influencer. And she also liked her job as a police officer. To leave the world of social media meant that she had to say goodbye to a lot of earning opportunities.
A Tough Decision To Make
Adrienne was earning good money as an Instagram model and influencer, but she also knew that she had devoted a lot of years to become a police officer. She got to a respectable position because of her hard work and dedication. She started to ask herself that was it worth leaving the job just to post photos of her on Instagram.
Although she was earning good money as an Instagram model, was it a sustainable source of income for her. She had so many questions. The issue was that she had to decide under the pressure of leaving one thing that she wanted.
Giving a Final Deadline
The police department of Dresden made it clear that there was no room for any other option. The authorities gave an ultimatum to Adrienne that she had until December 10th to make a decision.
They gave her little time to think about it. If she chose to work as a police officer, she would start working on January 1st. If she decided to work as an Instagram model, she would have to leave a profession she respected and loved. She had to make a massive decision.
A Life-Changing Decision
When Adrienne decided to upload videos and selfies of her, she made an unintentional decision that changed her life. But now, she had to make an intentional life-changing decision on December 10th. The fans who wanted to know about her decision didn't get what they were really hoping for. In fact, fans didn't get a lot.
She didn't tell anyone before the deadline. It was like a climax but in a strange way. She posted suggestive photos which kind of indicated that she was leaving the police force.
Making The Announcement
Adrienne didn't want to leave her fans in the dark for too long. So, she decided to announce her decision on Instagram. She declared in a video: "I'm going to work." She made it clear what she wanted." I'm going back on the beat. I'm putting my uniform on," she said with full confidence.
She continued by saying that she was looking forward to joining the force in January. It definitely seemed like a difficult decision because it meant that she had to say goodbye to her influencer lifestyle.
But Wait, There is a Twist
Things were back to normal when she went back to work in January. However, something happened out of the blue that surprised a lot of people, especially her loyal fans. All of a sudden, she started posting photos on Instagram!
It surprised everyone because she was going against the orders of higher authorities by posting Instagram photos. It was clear that she was deliberately going against the orders of her boss. Or maybe she was fired after joining in January. There was something that she hid from her fans.
There Was A Compromise
It became clear that Adrienne didn't tell everything to her fans, maybe because the bosses told her not to do it. She made a deal with the bosses that she will give up her social media influencer career, but not completely! So, there was a compromise on both sides.
She didn't tell everyone that the deal was about her continuing to post selfies and fitness videos but on the condition that her content needed to be appropriate and shouldn't interfere with her work. Although her bosses allowed her to work and still be a social media influencer, there was someone who wasn't happy with it.
An Inevitable Breakup
Adrienne's colleagues and the bosses were not happy with her photos, but there was one particular person in her life that didn't like what she was doing: her boyfriend (sorry ex-boyfriend). While the police department had no problem with it, her boyfriend had a strict requirement - that she should leave the world of social media altogether.
Once it was clear that she was not going to leave her lifestyle as a famous influencer, he couldn't take it anymore and ended their relationship. His reason for leaving her was that he didn't want to share his woman with the rest of the world. “Life isn’t always a bowl of cherries,” she said while reflecting on the breakup. However, she made it clear that she is quite happy with her decision.
A Woman With No Regrets
Although Adrienne made a lot of decisions in the recent years of her life, she remains a strong and independent woman with no regrets at all. In fact, she is happy that her decisions helped her to become who she is now.
As some don't agree with her lifestyle as a police officer, it is great that she respects others' opinions. Instead of coming up with excuses, she successfully balanced everything. While everything on the outside was going perfectly for Adrienne, there were some internal hardships.
Dealing With Health Issues
Adrienne told the world that she was dealing with health issues for some time, which concerned her fans from all over the world. Her international audience wished for her wellbeing, but they had questions about how serious her illness was. After she worried a lot of people by announcing her heath updates, she followed it up with an update that showed her optimistic side.
She updated her fans on how the little mishap had a significant impact on her life. She felt much wiser than before she started dealing with her health problems. She told her fans how she was back "on track" and felt "unconditionally happy." That day, her fans were immensely impressed by her positive attitude. She showed everyone how to be positive despite facing many challenges in life.
The Ten Year Challenge Viral Trend
It is quite rare that an Instagram influencer doesn't follow a trend and Adrienne was no exception. She was also influenced by the viral Ten Year Challenge trend that required users to post two photos of them: one from 2009 vs. the other from 2019.
It became viral and swept through nations because the challenge was all about telling everyone jokingly how you looked a decade ago. Adrienne passed the challenge without any trouble whatsoever.
Entering of a New Man In Her Life
Adrienne's ex-boyfriend left her because he didn't want to share her with the rest of the world. It was clear that he couldn't handle her spotlight. But then, a new man entered her life – a man who had no problem at all with her growing popularity.
It seems quite clear that he adores her and doesn't want her to change at all. She posted a selfie with her man with the caption, "Love for president." And don't they look adorable together?
Austria Trip
Adrienne uploaded this photo on Instagram and told everyone how she and Rick enjoyed their vacation. She wrote that she never shared her toothbrush before and then Rick came. Well, you got to change a few things when someone special comes into your life, right?
Rick is a Mercedes Benz car dealer from Dresden. Just like Adrienne, he loves to travel as well. Who knew he and Adrienne were meant for each other?
Special Thanks Post
Adrienne is a very humble and loving person. She uploaded this photo to thank everyone who cared for her and remembered her birthday. She even believes that she's quite special because when it comes to remembering birthdays (even her own birthday), she forgets them most of the time.
She thanked even those who thought of her but did not text her and those who no longer think of her and of course, the man right beside her who made her birthday so colorful.
Living Her Best Life
Adrienne posted this photo with a caption about her decision and how she had been losing some followers. She posted it because someone asked her if she was afraid she might not be an influencer for too long.
She responded, “Honestly, I don't really think seriously that my decision was wrong. When the moment comes, I may be doing a “normal” job again. In the office or something else. In life, if you just look closely, there are endless possibilities. To be honest, I am immensely happy in terms of health and mind in my current situation. If it were different, you would recognize it from my texts. I am free and I can breathe (I was always looking for that in 2018). And I love what I produce here and on YouTube, even if some think I am absolutely "DIFFERENT".
He Loves Me, He Doesn't Love Me
In one post, Adrienne raised a point that women have such exciting theories as to why someone doesn’t answer their calls. She wrote that women overthink and men act too little.
The point that she wanted to make was that everyone lacks courage and only love theories. She wanted people not to think too much and just do what their heart desires. It is quite clear that she is beauty with brains and not just someone who post on social media just for the sake of getting some likes.
For The Love of Traveling
Adrienne still travels a lot and loves to explore unknown places. She posted this photo on her trip to Dubai while promoting a product. As a social media celebrity, the best thing is that you get to take your work wherever you go.
She goes to different places and the best thing about her content is that even when she promotes a product, it doesn’t look like she is forcing it in any way. She is also very careful in choosing a product to promote. She believes that she has to promote products responsibly.
What’s Up With Her Nowadays
Adrienne Koleszar has over 615k followers on Instagram and 32k subscribers on YouTube. On Instagram, she shares photos of traveling to different beautiful places.
On YouTube, she shares videos on various tutorial exercises to keep the body in shape. She is having the best time of her life and we wish her best of luck for future endeavors.
