The suit seems to filed a year after they broke up (filed in June 2020, and the case claims they broke up on June 2019). Wonder what made it take so long to file considering it's almost a million on the line here.

Were they dating or something?  Or was it purely a professional relationship?  If the former, always dicey to mix business with pleasure.  Pardon my lack of knowledge.

That’s wild, I’m not surprised though

They dated for a long time and the thing says Taylor wasn't fully aware of the abusive nature until they broke up. I imagine turning on someone who you "loved" for so long took some convincing from friends/family. Also making sure that you can file a proper complaint and stuff can take some time.

Yes they've known each other since before she was 18. Dated pretty much since she was 18 (probably before then but not public) until 2019 it seems.

Dang... that's wild.  You hope breakups end amicably, but when $$$ gets involved, it can bring out the worst nature in people while showing their true colors.  But yeah, 18 is young to know those life lessons ahead of time.

If you go back in her thread, you'll see them together a lot. The age difference was a frequent comment, as was his general demeanor, recognizing that we really know very little. His nickname here, and you'll see this for obvious reasons, was "Hair Gel."

I had to Google him.  You gotta admit... he does wear the douche-bag look well as "Hair Gel". 😂

She needs/needed better lawyers. The fact that his demurrer was sustained (with leave to amend) was surprising, given that she made a broad amount of claims - although some seemed dubious. It is unclear whether she did choose to amend or indeed dropped the case. Does anyone have an answer?

Hi Ed!

 

Give Taylor our best!

 

P.S. Tell Taylor to get rid of her Pedo-Boyfriend. She would be much more appealing without that pile of hair gel by her side all the damn time.

 And so a villain was born

I'm so glad they broke up, he's mad toxic and the age difference was so weird. That's why I never trust older creepy men with younger girls. Glad she's with Daniel now.

Maybe Hair Gel has a sex tape or something on her and won't let her leave.

 

My conspiracy theory for the night.

not sure how much I want to dive into this but there were leaks being floated around for people to buy.in March of this year on some forums And 4Chan. (Yes I know...4chan...but a lot of the model/celeb leaks have begun there) whether they are real or not who knows but I remembered I posted about how he might use something like that against her and just found it. (I also have a screen shot of the leak descriptions) my first thought was he leaked her shit after she dumped him but who knows.

This, the leaks were in a webm format you needed an app to save them. That’s what I heard they came and went so fast nobody has them and I have a few contacts that leak content. I’m still looking for em. 

I just checked for em it’s been like six months and still nobody has em, that’s insane. They were real though 

If he really did leak it, wouldn't he be risking jail for revenge porn?

People who were abused/gaslit/manipulated in a relationship sometimes need some time to recover or even to realize what the other person did was not okay.

Also, we're in the middle of pandemic. The courts are probably behind on everything.

 

So happy we were right about Hair Gel.

I mean it's not like you had to be a genius at judging character to know the dude was a major douche!

Wasn't there this incident with him too in Paris where he started to racially abuse a person, totally unprovoked?

Which he idiotically shared on his own social media. So apart from anything else, he was also not exactly sharp.

Forgot that she joined in!

 

Was Paris Fashion week 2015 I believe.

So there's a list of Taylor's causes of action - 1) declaratory relief; 2) fraud; 3) conversion; 4) unjust enrichment; 5) intentional infliction of emotional distress; and 6) negligent infliction of emotional distress

 

law student here will try to break things down for you and anyone, feel free to ask more questions if something isn't clear! I will be referring to Taylor and Michael but obviously mean them and their attorneys in some situations. 

 

Firstly, the court is saying Michael and Taylor and their attorneys needed to "meet and confer" before Michael could file this and they didn't do that. They're saying they will still look at it but that if Michael f's up again they're not going to. 

 

This came from Michael filing demurrers for sufficiency which is asking whether Taylor's complaints were sufficient enough to meet the claims she is claiming.

 

So she is suing for a few different things and the other plaintiff is Pinkelephant Inc. which is a Tennessee corporation so I'm assuming it's a company that she has for management of her work but I couldn't completely find more information on that online. 

 

She's suing Michael for money she is saying that he took from her fraudulently by acting as a consultant to her and as a manager. Additionally she's claiming that he intentionally inflicted emotional distress and negligently inflicted it so he purposefully caused her emotional distress and just sort of by accident/through his other actions caused her more emotional distress.

 

Her attorneys didn't seem to state these all clearly and well in the complaint. There's a rule for the justice system when you are filing a complaint that you have to do it with particularity so you can't just say "This person caused me emotional distress" you have to say "This person caused me emotional distress on October 5, 2017 when he did _____. I have proof my emotional distress because i dealt with anxiety causing me to be physically sick and need to go to therapy or doctors for this long." This decision there in those statements is saying that the complaint didn't state things with enough particularity when it came to the fraud claim, conversion claim, unjust enrichment claim, and IIED claim. They didn't totally dismiss the claim because they see some standing to what she is saying and she he messed up and harmed her financially and perhaps monetarily but they're saying the attorneys need to bring more particular claims before these can be heard properly. 

 

As for the claims, Michael somehow defrauded her from what Taylor is saying is almost $1 million dollars. She is saying he used his position as older than her and as her manager to prey on her vulnerabilities of her looks and body when that is so important to her job. She is also saying they had an abusive relationship generally (see the lack of particularity here). 

 

Being a fan of Taylor, it is very unfortunate to learn about this. But, it just goes to show that every person is fighting their own battle, even a beautiful person, inside and out (never met her but I think and hope she is), as Taylor. Even a supermodel like her, who is one of the most beautiful persons I have ever seen, can be or can be manipulated to be insecure about themselves. 

 

Thanks for the summary btw!
