Where is the outrage? Where are the media watchdogs who claim to stand for truth and accountability?
A surprise letter was filed by the U.S. Government under seal late Wednesday night in the case of OneTaste. A heavily-redacted version was subsequently filed on Friday.
The Prosecutors on the case of Nicole Daedone and Rachel Cherwitz V USA have now admitted what we have been telling you for years — after months of deception — that Ayries Blanck lied about her so-called “journals,” which were nothing more than fabricated documents written for a Netflix production. This admission, detailed in Celia Cohen’s March 13 letter to Judge Gujarati, confirms what the defense has been saying all along: Blanck committed federal crimes by falsifying evidence and lying to federal agents, and yet, the prosecution relied on these fraudulent materials to bring charges against the defendants.
Now, faced with this damning revelation, the government has hurriedly filed a response under seal, hiding from public scrutiny rather than owning up to its failure. Why? Because they cannot justify their reliance on fake evidence. Because they do not want to explain why FBI Agent Elliot McGinnis held onto Blanck’s hard drive for over two months before logging it as evidence, violating FBI protocols and raising serious concerns about evidence tampering.
As Jennifer Bonjean’s March 14 letter lays out in detail, McGinnis not only delayed logging the hard drive but attempted to access it before any official forensic analysis—a blatant breach of FBI procedure. He was in direct contact with Blanck throughout this time, and it is increasingly clear that he orchestrated efforts to obstruct the defense’s ability to uncover the truth. The government’s refusal to call him as a witness only underscores his central role in this misconduct.
Had the defense not relentlessly exposed these lies, Blanck’s perjured testimony and Netflix-scripted journals would have been presented as fact at trial, potentially leading to wrongful convictions. The media should be asking:
Why did the government allow a known liar to shape its case?
Why has the prosecution refused to drop the charges after admitting their evidence was fraudulent?
Why is the government refusing to investigate Blanck for fabricating evidence and lying to federal agents?
Why is the government hiding behind sealed filings instead of being transparent about their failure?
This is not just incompetence—it is prosecutorial misconduct. The prosecution would have presented false evidence in court, and the only reason they didn’t is because the defense fought to expose the truth.
This case isn’t about justice—it’s about covering up government ineptitude.
The media should be demanding answers. The public should be outraged. Instead, the government hides behind sealed filings, hoping no one will notice the catastrophic failure of their case.
The time for silence is over. The media should demand that the U.S. Government unseal their folly. The case must be dismissed, and those responsible must be held accountable.
