This woman became well-known and was called out several times for invading popular spaces, rooms and threads that have nothing to do with her, leeching content from talented people, and asking people if they want to be interviewed for NYT. Misleading them on what her intentions were.

She would specifically target and talk with OTHER clout chasing individuals who would give her background and context on things she clearly didn’t know, then promise them nice write ups with their names attached. +

Taylor would then deliberately misquote statements, or only use LITERALLY 2 to 5 words from their 30 to 45 minute conversation, then write a whole article AROUND *HER* thoughts on their conversation, and then leave their names out of the article completely, citing “anonymity.” This is a lie.

In its heyday, before it was invaded by frauds like Taylor, I ran large, successful music spaces on clubhouse that focused on informing musicians and artists on best business to get their music heard. +

One day, she invaded my space, and IMMEDIATELY attempted to colonize it. She sent me a DM that said “Hey. I’m Taylor. I don’t know anything about music but you should let me up on your stage. I can bring your room more attention.” This, by itself, was completely narcissistic and clear red flag scammers on clubhouse.

I ignored the dm, and did not allow her up. If you were not certified in the music industry, you could not sit with us. This was done to protect musicians from fakes and frauds. +

I contacted her after and let her know very frankly that I am not here to pack the stage with people with huge numbers, and I’m not for clout chasing in my spaces. I told her you have to be a musician or in the music business with credentials I could verify to sit with us.

She politely apologized and then asked me if I wanted to sit with her for an in-depth interview as one of the most popular users on Clubhouse (at its peak, I was rounding 65k follows. Most were probably bots, however).

I flat out declined, since at that point, over 20+ people had been misquoted by her, AND…. just the week before, there was a room of 700+ people who confronted this woman on her behavior. She was delusional the whole time, saying “these misquotes are a misunderstanding.”

I also told her that was the exact reason for the decline. “I was in that room. I am sorry, but I do not trust that you will represent our conversation in a proper way.” The fake white girl niceness immediately disappeared. +

She then INTENTIONALLY AND DELIBERATELY targeted an associate who used to host the rooms with me for an interview, who was NOT aware of their behavior. They agreed, and within 2 weeks, came to me with the complaint everyone had: “This wench stole my entire convo, repositioned and presented it as her own ‘discovery,’ AND then spelled her name wrong. Probably on purpose.”

What Taylor didn’t know, is that the woman in question was the head of Warner Music Creative… & had time to handle that bitch.

@mrcompletely @andreimoment social politeness is a lie. Especially in America. People will weaponize “niceness” to manipulate you, then call you every slur they can behind your back while attempting to ruin your life. It is disgusting, and I want no part of it.

The more I think about this, the more I need you to know how grateful I am for seeing me for exactly who I am. It is uncanny. Of course you’re not American. LOL. Thank you.

@ErickaSimone @andreimoment oh I'm an gen X American white guy out in Portland. But my mama raised me right. She was a civil rights marcher and anti war activist in the sixties and I grew up in the South around people (black and white) who physically fought the Klan. I know there's not enough of us but we do exist ✊

Btw I know this isn't the point rn but your list of music recs is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
