Empty threats, empty promises

That's all I ever get from the chardonnay socialists. The one threat they managed to follow through on was the FTAC referral. That was only possible because Tory and Nadine worked at Parliament. I think that all my enemies are fixated on me, and they're actually threatening me. - My answer to Paul Mescal is that they're inherently untrustworthy. They offered me the role of Paul after hearing the demos. That was probably an empty promise, but that was their reaction. My pedigree is in musicals as well, but I've been doing rock numbers for years. - The other threats rose to the point where I could refer them to police. That's a sign of how cruel and uncaring they are: I had a prescription drug overdose. I nearly died because I wouldn't be a drag queen Jesus for straights. It's not like me to ask for legal help, but Peter and Paul would agree that the clowns that the studio is sending after me are making it hard for me to work, let alone to clear the air and sign a full deal to work on Beatles Invade NZ. Half the NZ film industry thinks that I was supposed to be Tina, and that they waited three years until I was sane. No, that's not even close to the truth. I refused outright, and that's why I was referred to the FTAC in 2023. The referral was spurious; I wasn't designated as a threat. Thanks to the McSkimming case, people are finally believing that I was sane. Steve Barr is very likely to be charged in a few months. He's a millionaire: he'll survive. I'd hate for a bunch of low-level producers to join him. I accept that everyone's just anxious to be paid, but this isn't how showbiz works. Peter's more than willing to make it a gravy train, but only to win some goodwill. He honestly could do 70-80% of the work inside his computers. - It has to end. Sorry, nasty Wellington producers. Spent several days outlining to Paul's lawyers that I hadn't signed a deal. Ironic, given what I found out about the Sony producers.

Look, you have no path to 'improving' me. I said no. If Mr. Mendes and the other people that exploited the surviving Beatles are attacking me, then it kinda proves my point that their tactics are que

 
 
 
'why won't you show your face?'

You're being deliberately glib. My face is a frequent flier, just not every week. I've made a number of videos for Apple Corps and MPL regarding Imagine Multimedia and Beatles Invade... Why? Because

Why cast real people at all? There's nothing like a stream of real teenagers running down hills or milling around. Plus the all-AI backdrops aren't quite good enough just yet. By Beatles Invade The Establishment!, they probably will be. Wellington suburbs are filled with character houses (ie old stuff from the early 20th century). Karori, Mt. Victoria, Mt. Cook, Kilbirnie etc. That adds authenticity. I'm the one who insisted on actors/musicians with mocap: Peter was leaning towards a fully virtual Fab Four.

As I said, Apple and MPL said not to read the news, but it's not just the news where they're trolling me. I'm a journalist: the media have been trolling me for years. The real case revolves around porn trolls on BDSMLR and DeviantArt since 2020. They produced reams of sexually humiliating imagery to tell me to be straight. In NZ, we call that conversion therapy, and it's been illegal since 2022. That was the background noise, but the overdose was caused by the deputy PM making a derogatory gesture before Question Time + my alma mater attempting to rewrite my opera music. This is my evidence folder. Our harassment laws are about to change, and this stuff might go from background information to actionable…
