Seriously @annie_goldsmith? Your puff piece about Taylor Lorenz (where you oddly put a photo of me next to political public figures) has no mention of the lawsuit against Lorenz or WHY she was sued. It also mischaracterizes why people criticize her & her own attacks on women.🧵
I had to sign up for @theinformation and pay $39 to a publication I’ll never read just to see why my photo was associated to Taylor Lorenz in your article. And to my surprise- no mention of me, the claims in the lawsuit or why I went on Tucker Carlson. 🧵 Let me help you out…
“She [Taylor Lorenz] just keeps putting out bangers.” @oneunderscore__ Ben Collins NBC.

Ben - Did you know she wrote a “banger” about me full of lies basically inferring that I spied on kids, stole from them and leaked their nudes? All FALSE ideas that can be proven in court?
Is she really a “scoop machine” @malitzd - or does she have powerful friends in elite circles?

She “broke” the story that launched Charli D’Amelio into super stardom & then D’Amelio signed to the same talent agency as Lorenz, UTA. Lorenz then wrote a separate puff piece on UTA.
Is Taylor Lorenz a “scoop machine” or did she encourage teenagers to obtain potentially illegally recorded conversations with the White House and TikTokers for her story that SNL mocked?
Is Taylor Lorenz a “scoop machine” or is she just “buddies” with @wiczipedia? Nina was a Biden appointed govn’t board leader (a powerful position) who has supported Lorenz publicly even when Lorenz was caught lying about Clubhouse investor Marc Andreesen. 🧵
Really @annie_goldsmith? Since you failed to mention even one 💩 storm Taylor Lorenz created for herself, let me refresh your reader’s memory:

📄 Lorenz gets NYT sued bit.ly/TheWrap-Taylor…
😣 Her boss quit bit.ly/3lUg3zH
Oh @annie_goldsmith - I bet you were so interested in your subject Taylor Lorenz that you watched all 78 minutes of this well-researched video pointing out all of Lorenz’s lies (produced btw by a liberal leaning journalist) @BostWiki -
So @annie_goldsmith @theinformation - you cover all the press Taylor Lorenz did in @VanityFair @thehill @NYMag - but you don’t mention her press tour came AFTER she was sued for libel - exposing the NYT to a serious problem.

Did you ever consider that maybe NYT told her to STFU?
Taylor Lorenz tells @VanityFair that she “kind of hit a ceiling” at NYT & hoped the paper would “hopefully, you know, evolve in their ways.”

🧐 I would assume 4 a journalist - getting sued for LIBEL by a non-political minority woman would be a career LOW. Great spin though.
Here’s the part that really gets me @annie_goldsmith … You bring up Taylor Lorenz’s conservative critics - but you don’t point out her powerful allies: @VanityFair @BusinessInsider @wiczipedia @kattenbarge @brianstelter @sarahfrier @unitedtalent @TheAtlantic @thedailybeast
Putting me next to Taylor Lorenz critics like Tucker Carlson @annie_goldsmith - did u consider how many Lorenz lovers like u disregarded my story? Did u consider my career that was demolished by lies? Or did you want to paint me as a right wing nut who attacks an innocent journo?
Let me be clear: MY CASE IS NOT POLITICAL. Taylor Lorenz lied & wrote a hit piece that killed my American dream presumably for click bait & to maliciously please her talent agency who wanted my clients & likely wanted my reputation destroyed. I went on Tucker so I could be heard.
If people care abt #JusticeForJohnnyDepp after watching how lies can destroy a person’s CHARACTER & the life shattering mess that ensues - I hope they consider what Taylor Lorenz did to me. She has been called the Amber Heard of journalism. See 4 yourself bit.ly/3NIxJuc
The founding editor of Gawker (a media co. forced shut down after losing a defamation lawsuit funded by tech VC @peterthiel) tells @annie_goldsmith that she thinks Taylor Lorenz is a vulnerable target of @pmarca & @balajis bc she’s a woman. No - Lorenz literally got caught lying.
Here’s the scariest part of @annie_goldsmith’s hagiography of Taylor Lorenz - she mentions all the young journos who dream of becoming just like Taylor. Imagine if all little girls with acting ambitions wanted to be Amber Heard. Are we creating a culture for professional victims?
Think: If 86% of young Americans aspire to be influencers - and if Taylor Lorenz holds the key to make or break their careers - she doesn’t just have power thru her MSM allies but she’s also grooming influencers w hundreds of millions of followers to follow her narrative or else.
Taylor Lorenz’s lack of accuracy & ethics caused the public vitriol towards her.

While mean tweets suck, I promise it sucks much worse to have an empty bank account and a legacy tarnished by Lorenz’s lies.

I barely survived. I won’t be silenced. #JusticeForTaylorLorenzVictims
BTW this isn’t just some obscure piece praising Taylor Lorenz by @theinformation @annie_goldsmith - it gets amplified by @washingtonpost with its own link: washingtonpost.com/pr/2022/05/27/…

The Hollywood Reporter tries to both-sides the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni ordeal—while casually smearing an entire religion.

I’m sorry, you can’t accuse someone of SH bc they gave you the ick. 🧵👇🏽 Image
THR suggests the entire controversy might be just a cultural misunderstanding. That Baldoni’s alleged behavior was simply a clash between his Baha’i faith and Hollywood’s post-MeToo workplace norms.

“Could everything that went wrong with the movie actually have been one big cultural misunderstanding?”

🤔
The piece spends an absurd amount of time dissecting Baldoni’s religion—implying his faith is somehow central to the legal battle. Yet Lively’s lawsuit doesn’t mention Baha’i at all.

🚨 Screenshots are being circulated alleging that multiple actresses on It Ends With Us filed HR complaints against Justin Baldoni and that this is Blake Lively's smoking gun.

But let’s actually THINK for a second—because some things aren’t adding up besties. 🧵⬇️ Image
1️⃣ WHAT THE SCREENSHOTS ACTUALLY SAY

The circulating screenshots claim that Sony received additional HR complaints against Baldoni from other actresses on set (possibly Jenny Slate or Isabela Ferrer).

🚨 That’s it. That’s the whole big reveal. 🚨

But let’s ask the obvious questions:

WHERE WERE THESE COMPLAINTS BEFORE?
- Are they even real?
- If they are real, why weren’t they referenced in the CRD or Blake’s lawsuit?
- If multiple people filed complaints before the lawsuit, wouldn’t that have been major evidence in Blake’s case?

Why weren’t these included to bolster her claims?

The math isn’t mathing. 🤨Image

2️⃣ THIS DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS BRYAN FREEDMAN’S STATEMENT.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, went on record saying:

🗣️ “Well, remember that there was actually no allegation of sexual harassment until the lawsuit was filed.”

So either:

❌ Freedman lied publicly (unlikely), or
❌ These complaints weren’t filed until AFTER the CRD, meaning they don’t prove anything about Baldoni’s conduct during filming.

If these existed before the lawsuit, why would Freedman be this bold about saying there were no complaints? You think he’d risk that if there was actual documented proof out there?

Let me get this straight…Ashley St. Clair had people running defense for her over a “mean girl” comment—secretly pregnant with Elon’s kid. Now she’s doing a PR tour from a $40K/mo apartment, publicly begging for a response?

The power trip was real. The fall-off is even funnier.
“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for several days” is crazy. Sis, he’s ghosting you, not lost at sea. Image
“Elon won’t text me back” but make it a five-paragraph essay. Image

What if I told you a federal judge wrote a novel smearing a real-life litigant—WHILE ruling on his case?

Sounds insane? It happened. And the Fifth Circuit just let it slide.

Here’s why Judge Stacey Jernigan’s courtroom is a legal cartel. 🧵👇 Image
But this goes way beyond one judge—power players use the courts to enrich insiders and shut out anyone who challenges them.

Get ready besties, because I’ve been deep in the receipts on this case, and it’s absolutely insane.
Imagine being advised by a former bankruptcy judge that the best way to resolve a minor employment dispute is…

🚨 Filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy

Even though you’re a billionaire and the business is solvent.

That’s how the Highland Capital case started. And it spiraled into a $1 BILLION liquidation.

🚨 Candace, Candace, Candace… you were so close. You had it—Taylor Swift’s PR empire, Ronan Farrow playing industry nepo-enforcer, The NYT running protection—but then you lost the plot. 🧵

Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively is a textbook NYT takedown—a playbook I know firsthand.
You really think the NYT wouldn’t “risk their reputation” for Blake Lively? Girl. That’s not a risk for them—it’s their entire business model.

The NYT doesn’t make moves based on reputation. They make them based on who benefits.

And trust me, a lot of people benefited from taking down Baldoni.
Let’s explore, shall we?

The NYT got a juicy Hollywood feud to milk for clicks and to keep their “we break every MeToo story” branding alive.

Lively’s publicist took out top entertainment PR heavyweights—Melissa Nathan, Jennifer Abel, and Jed Wallace—some of the biggest names in crisis and Hollywood publicity.

And Taylor Swift? She got to take a jab at Scooter Braun—who just so happens to have funded the crisis PR firm run by Melissa Nathan, one of the key players behind Johnny Depp’s comeback. 🤔Image

I’m not a gossip reporter. I run a startup, and in 2 weeks I’ve pulled 3 all-nighters covering the Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively saga after working my regular day.

Here’s why I’m going to keep covering it—and why you should care. 🧵 Image
Smear campaigns are real. They’re designed to destroy reputations, ruin lives, and shift public opinion.

And while Justin Baldoni is lucky to have a billionaire backing him, most people don’t stand a chance when they’re targeted.
Regular people can’t fight Hollywood power players, PR firms, or media outlets with unlimited budgets. Their only hope?

If YOU, the public, learn how to decipher smear tactics and call them out when you see them.
