I don’t care when it was filmed. It’s being promoted now, and that timing is intentional. Given the current discourse around BL, choosing to air this at this exact moment is a strategic move, and a deeply questionable one. It’s manipulative and frankly gross. I hope it backfires spectacularly. Let’s stop pretending BL and RR aren’t trash or that TS is an innocent bystander (she’s not). Birds of a feather. The narrative spin might have worked before, but people are paying attention now and they’re finally seeing through it. Airing this now is a choice. To suggest that Wondry alone makes these decisions, and that the stars, all with close affiliations to TS, had no input or awareness, stretches credibility. You’re seriously underestimating the audience if you think anyone buys that. We see exactly what’s happening here, and we’re not as naïve as you’d like to believe.

A man’s life was ruined by a false story, and you could just as easily be in his place.

Can you tell us about your friend’s sham company VanZan? What about your friend Cryan forcing his 7 yr old child to say (and repeat) sexually explicit lines in Dreadpool? Jason… you and Kylie alright???

Touché, they were playing with ambiguity during discovery so that Taylor wouldn’t be implicated. She was always friends with Blake because Taylor is involved in the mess her friend caused on the production and in the false accusation against an innocent man. Now that everything is over, they’re slowly whitewashing their friendship. Next up, Blake will direct Taylor’s music video. I’m done — I’m tired of being a Swiftie and thinking Taylor is a victim.

They know what Blake did to Justin, they are friends with her. Birds of the feather

Randomly reposting this in context to what is going on right now is very sus.

Someone thinks they’re untouchable like a god and is using their influence and charm to clean up their friend’s image, even though that friend falsely accused an innocent man of SA, and she helped her do it. We all know how this PR game works. But their timing couldn’t be worse — people today care about accountability and social justice. It’s really disappointing to see Taylor involved in this. I used to be a fan, but now I’m starting to believe what they said she did to Olivia Rodrigo.

I hope you guys haven’t tried to pull a fast one on Wayfarer. Would be ultimate in evil to do that and when the deposition timeline is up to post this. How could you do that?
