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.

You might hate me for saying this, but creators are already moving on from TikT*k—and it’s not to 𝕏.

It’s a Chinese app called RedNote.👇🏽 RedNote, aka Xiaohongshu, is basically the Chinese owned version of TikTok mixed with Pinterest. And Americans? They’re downloading it like it’s Black Friday at Target.

People are giggling in bed setting up their profiles and asking Chinese users, “How do you feel about us being here?” The top comment? “In the club, we all fam.”

Just move to another platform’ or ‘build a new algorithm.’ That’s what lawmakers & the Supreme Court say about TikTok.

But TikTok isn’t just any algorithm—it’s the only one where anyone can go viral overnight. Here’s what made the TikTok algo as addicting as your toxic ex:🧵Image TikTok’s algorithm is built on discovery, not popularity.

When you post a video, it doesn’t care if you have 12 followers or 12 million. It shows your content to ~300 random people and analyzes their behavior:

Did they rewatch?
Did they finish it?
Did they share it?

If you’re here for the story about what happened with Taylor Lorenz and the NYT, I recommend checking out @bostwiki’s video. He breaks down what went down and exposes how bad journalists operate. I’m grateful to him for covering my story and exposing bad journalism.

After reading both Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni’s lawsuits, here’s my honest take—and why this hits close to home.

When I managed a house of TikTok stars, my job was to enforce the rules: no jumping off the roof into the pool, no stealing, everyone makes the content agreed to. Basic stuff, right? When I read Baldoni’s lawsuit, it hit close to home.

I’ve been there: labeled a villain in my own story by people I trusted to help build something great.

The saga continues: Blake Lively sues Justin Baldoni, following her Christmas Eve CRD complaint—dubbed a “dodge to avoid discovery” by Baldoni’s lawyers. Well, Lively’s team just said, “Hold my florals.”

What’s new, what they’ll have to prove, and is there a smoking gun? 🧵 Image First, the differences:

The initial California complaint was filed with the state’s Civil Rights Department (CRD)—basically step one to getting permission to sue.

This new lawsuit is a federal case filed in NY. It combines California laws with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, widening the scope.

Why NY? Interstate allegations: PR firms and media tactics operating across state lines.

Justin Baldoni is suing The New York Times, which hasn’t reportedly lost a libel case since the 1960s. As someone who’s also sued the NYT, here’s what stands out: texts show Baldoni told his team NOT to attack Blake Lively, & he claims the “list of demands” is 100% fabricated. 🧵 Image

Ryan Reynolds allegedly lost it on Baldoni in a meeting because Baldoni wouldn’t apologize for things he says never happened. The complaint basically says a Sony exec called it the most unhinged meeting of their 40-year career. Image

Listening to Nick Viall & co. dissect the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni complaint, it’s clear they see it as absolute and damning. But having lived through manipulative lawfare & PR myself, I know it’s never that simple. 🧵 Defending yourself when someone files a lawsuit full of accusations isn’t just hard—it’s a PR and legal nightmare.

I’ve been there. I sued Taylor Lorenz and the New York Times. I also took on a major Hollywood talent agency. Here’s what I’ve learned:

Earlier today, a client sent me an email about a company promising to “fix his Instagram” with 10k new followers a month—no bots, no password sharing. Sounds great, right?

As someone who specializes in short-form content, let me explain why it’s a terrible idea.🧵 These kinds of messages land in the inboxes of every business owner, coach, and creator I work with. They’re worded to sound like they’ve analyzed your account and are genuinely impressed. They promise growth and engagement without risk or effort.

Here’s how they operate (and why it’s a bad idea).Image

Some of you spent Christmas dragging Sriram Krishnan through the mud without knowing a thing about him. He didn’t stumble into tech’s inner circle—he built his path, brick by brick, from India to Silicon Valley. Before you embarrass yourself further, keep reading. You might learn something. 🧵Image Sriram Krishnan’s story doesn’t start in Silicon Valley. It starts in Chennai, India, where his family couldn’t afford a computer until he was 17.

When he finally got one, it cost his dad a year’s salary. Sriram taught himself to code using a pirated version of Windows.

I guarantee no one’s breaking down the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni complaint like this. Lawyers & PR teams are betting you’ll take their version at face value, but I’ve seen this playbook before—and I’m going to show you how it works. Buckle up. 🧵 Image Full disclosure: I take no pleasure in doing Bryan Freedman’s (Baldoni’s lawyer) job for him. This is the same attorney who repped a behemoth talent agency I sued once. But exposing Hollywood’s smear tactics? That’s a personal passion. So why not? 😅

Anyway, who can blame Freedman for being good at his job? I will call a truce to cover this fairly, just for you guys.Image

Let’s talk about Blake Lively’s “complaint” against Justin Baldoni. It’s NOT a lawsuit (yet), so why file it with the California Civil Rights Dept (CRD) first? Here’s what’s really going on—and why it’s possibly a strategic PR move from Team Lively. 🧵 Image Under CA law, if you’re claiming harassment or retaliation, you HAVE to file with the CRD first before suing in court. But here’s the twist: CRD complaints aren’t automatically public. So how did the NYT get their hands on it? 👀

Possibly the most important video you should watch if you want to understand the depths of Taylor Lorenz’s reporting practices and how she came after ME - a non-political, non-rich, non-white, non-male. I say that only to point to her hypocrisy. Link 41:33 We all owe A LOT to @BostWiki for calling Taylor Lorenz out before it was popular & for reporting HONESTLY on her tactics b4 she became a 🤡 meme.
🎥

The journalist who bravely exposed TL worked at McDonalds & grew up in a small town in the Midwest.

🚨 Taylor Lorenz caught lying & playing victim AGAIN. A young man (who happens to be a minority w autism) went to the PUBLIC @Meta protest organized by meme creators. He went to meet creators he’s a fan of but Lorenz was there too.She makes him leave & then says he’s a stalker.🤨 You might be wondering why Taylor Lorenz doesn’t like this individual.

The story I was told was that this man used to be a fan of Taylor bc he’s a fan of internet culture. He had made a fan account that reposted Lorenz’s PUBLIC posts. Initially Taylor didn’t mind the attention.

Lil Huddy has used Charli D’Amelio for clout since Dec 2019. As a manager, it was unpopular to bring it up then especially bc Huddy’s manager Erika Monroe Williams had such a close relationship w Charli’s parents. Now Huddy’s new song eludes to Charli being a “homie hopper”. Wow. In Dec 2019 FIVE of my clients were in #HypeHouse - Charli, Dixie, Addison, Toni & Ondreaz. For this photoshoot & breakout Taylor Lorenz NYT story, I wasn’t welcome for some reason. 🧐

Lil Huddy, Lorenz etc. - I was onto you so you kept me away, right?

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…
