Journal of Lies: How Ayries Blanck Deceived Netflix and the FBI

Netflix’s “Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste” focuses on the San Francisco company that sold classes and held events on sexuality and wellness for adults on weekends in event spaces. Netflix calls its 2022 film a true crime documentary.

The film was effective to the extent that it finally led an FBI agent (who appears in a phantom cameo in the film) to persuade prosecutors in Brooklyn to indict the founder of One Taste, Nicole Daedone, along with her former sales manager, Rachel Cherwitz, in 2023.

Prosecutors alleged a 12-year scheme by the two women to conspire to commit forced labor and fail.

Some 35,000 people have participated in OneTaste’s events. Sixteen thousand have taken classes and workshops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Boulder, Las Vegas, London, and other locations. About 12 people seemed unhappy – an astonishingly low disgruntle-rate.

That’s probably why the feds could not charge forced labor, because the FBI could not find anyone Daedone or Cherwitz forced to do anything.  Yes, we can be pretty sure there was no forced labor, because after a five-year FBI investigation, the US Attorney for the Eastern District of NY only alleges the women conspired to commit forced labor. The US Attorney did not in his one-count indictment allege a single act of forced labor.

The women failed for 12 years.

But we are not here to talk about failures. We are here to talk about a document Netflix purchased for its film, “Orgasm Inc.: The Story of OneTaste,” which Netflix used for its final scene –Ayries Blanck’s journal.

Truth-challenged, Ayries Blanck

Ayries is one of the 12 disgruntled out of 35,000 people. She and her disgruntled friend, Rob Kandell, helped to spearhead the false prosecution of Daedone and Cherwitz.

Rob Kandell AKA Mr. Slick.

I suspect they did it out of vengeance, with Kandell behind the scenes, behind the woman, Ayries, up front, telling the lies, taking the risks for perjury, and making false statements to a federal official, which under U.S. law is codified in Title 18, Section 1001.

So, in a series, I will show readers how a liar can pretend she is a victim, destroy a company, and try to put two innocent women in jeopardy of losing their freedom.

It does not speak well of the prosecutors, who should have investigated this more before believing Ayries Blanck.

They wanted her to be a victim, but even the DOJ prosecutors had to drop her. That’s why they could not charge forced labor. Ayries’ stories fell apart.

So the prosecutors were left with only conspiracy to commit forced labor. The preposterous charge that Daedone and Cherwitz tried for 12 years, conspiring all the time to force Ayries and others to labor — tried and failed.

So, this series is also to illustrate why we cannot believe all people who claim they are victims, no matter how well they write a journal that says they are.

A Journal of Dubious Integrity

Netflix presented Ayries’ journal as though it was written fresh off her hurt to show the pain she endured fresh and raw, and not written to support lawsuits she was planning, since based on the dates in her journal – it was written before she decided to sue OneTaste.

Maybe not to be trusted, Ayries Blanck

Ayries was a student and later an employee at One Taste. She began taking classes with her boyfriend in 2012. She left OneTaste in January 2015 after her boyfriend broke up with her.

He met another woman and left the charms of Ayries far behind. He had a blessed escape.

Ayries’ journal begins in January 2015, describing events that happened right after she left, as she tries to recover from the brutality she says she experienced at One Taste.  Ayries only slipped up in her journal a few times in all those grand pages of purple prose, which Netflix was kind enough to overlook.

It’s a small thing. I hate to be a nitpicker. But Ayries writes in her journal that she found a book to help ease the pain of her PTSD – caused by OneTaste.

In her journal entry for February 22, 2015, Ayries mentions the the book: The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook.

The author Arielle Schwartz, PhD, writes in the book, “Traumatic events can be catalysts for growth.”

And Ayries wanted to grow.

Ayries wrote in her journal on February 22, 2015, two months after leaving OneTaste, about the book and even repeated the “catalyst for growth” quote.

Ayries writes:

……That onetaste and New york and everything that happened was one small corner of the world and if I get through this I will be able to rebuild my life. My sister and I talk almost every day. My grief and numbness melted into rage. I know I do not want to stay in rage. To become it. But it feels good to be angry. To let myself feel. The body really does freeze under stress. Become solid and impenetrable and it feels like finally 2 months later I am thawing. I was reading the book Post Traumatic Growth Guide and I used to believe I was a survivor, that I was stronger, more resilient, a better person because of the things I went through. …. Now I know it is not because of them but in spite of them… It makes Onetaste the catalyst for my growth. …  It was my hard work, my integrity, my compassion that has made me who I am. That helped me survive.

Everything is beautiful in its own way, like integrity and compassion. And it is lovely to think that Ayries, who wrote in her journal that she was hiding in rural eastern Washington in February 2015, is healing by reading The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook by Arielle Schwartz.

Netflix tells us in the film that Ayries sent the journal to her sister, Autymn, in 2015, by email, as “part of her therapy” right after she left OneTaste.  This adds to the enchantment of the film, as her sister Autymn reads her sister’s journal.

Still from Netflix’s “Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste”

But I have a question.

Maybe no one thought to ask it before, for it is impolite not to believe all accusers. But how did Ayries read The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook and quote from it on February 22, 2015, when the book was not published until four years, nine months, and three weeks later?

The United States Copyright Office established a December 3, 2019, publication date and a February 24, 2020, registration date for The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook.

OK, I believe in compassion. I understand that Ayries and Autyrm had to lie about dating the journal. Otherwise, it makes Ayries look like a money-grubbing opportunistic liar who wrote a phony journal to create and backdate abuse so she can sue OneTaste (and she and her sister could conspire to defraud Netflix out of $25,000).

Stupid mistakes can ruin a company’s reputation, and I am not referring to the film’s target, OneTaste, whose reputation Netflix tried to destroy. Netflix looks stupid for not vetting the journal.

And there were other little time warp slip-ups, like Ayries referring to someone’s surgery that hadn’t happened yet.

Yarn-Smith

But Ayries loves to tell tales. And though her journal is not exactly anybody’s version of integrity other than Ayries’, and because she has caused so much damage to so many people’s lives, I think we should investigate her journal.

Netflix used it in its true crime documentary, which they call “investigative.”

We might also look into what Ayries told the media, like Bloomberg and the BBC, and what she told her attorney when she went after OneTaste, which some might call extortion, and others might call fraud.

We should also investigate whether Ayries was in conspiracy with more than her sister, but one rather scorned gentleman, Rob Kandell, to obstruct justice and try to destroy innocent people through illegal means.

Indeed, one might almost suspect Kandell was the co-author of the journal.

Rob Kandell writes in the same cringe-worthy purple prose that Ayries Blanck’s journal offers.

Crimes?

I rather suspect that Ayries’ lies led to the indictment. I have little doubt that she lied to the FBI, which is a crime punishable by five years in prison.

In this post, I only showed a lie in a journal she and her sister sold to Netflix on the premise that it was written in 2015, right after she left OneTaste, where she speaks of reading a book that wasn’t published until 2019. That’s one of her smallest lies. “A little white one,” you might say.

She lied about a man raping her. She lied about men abusing her. She lied about her boyfriend physically abusing her when she did exactly that, as airport security in Chicago can well attest.

Ayries at the beach with the man who supposedly raped her… after he raped her… just days before she starts her journal professing how broken she is

Something She Did Not Lie About

One thing she did not lie about was her violence, in particular an incident where she attempted the murder of Aubrey Fuller on January 7, 2015. She did not lie about that, because she did not mention it.

Frank Report has evidence that Ayries is more than just an ass clown who gets caught backdating a journal because she is not smart enough to remember not to say she read a book that hadn’t been written yet.

She is a dangerous and violent woman who I believe has very likely committed crimes and possibly should be indicted.

Reports indicate she is outside the US jurisdiction, having gone to Northern Ireland and changed her name to Ares Milligan. However, the US has extradition arrangements with the UK.

She caused all this trouble, and the facts as I introduce them, I believe, will show that the US Attorney for the Eastern District of NY indicted the wrong people in the One Taste case.

His target should have been Ayries Blanck, possibly Rob Kandell, and maybe Autymn Blanck.

I am not asking readers to believe me from a single post. Read my next post and the one following.

More to Come

Ayries Blanck

I will present the evidence that Ayries Blanck, AKA Ares Milligan, AKA Diana AKA  Cassidy, AKA Pinocchina, has been a destructive liar and violent individual, who almost murdered a woman. She is not in prison today because several men and women physically stopped her amid her attempt to kill Aubrey Fuller.

More on that story later, including texts that show Ayries’ premeditated plans to murder Fuller and another person.

My advice in reading the coming posts is that it is not for the squeamish. It is also not for the stupid – those who think we must believe every accuser, as if accusers never lie – even when they are suing to make millions.

You can’t just believe them – just because they are accusers or write journals about how bad their abuse was. You have to go with the evidence. If you don’t, you’re an ass clown, like the producers of Netflix.

And if you are an ass clown, don’t read my series, The Many Lies of Ayries Blanck.

After which, you may not always believe all accusers, even female accusers, like the vicious, violent Ayries Blanck.
