A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy.

Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Channel 5 after the allegations

Didn't he own up to it? I find the content they make hard to find anywhere else.

It was a non-apology. And now he seems to be suggesting that it was extortion. I just...I dunno man. I agree though, the videos are great so it's a real shame.

Asking for money six days before posting the allegations idoes seem a bit like extortion to me. The whole thing is hard to assess because people have taken their posts down.

Caroline Elise's friend shared a screenshot of one message Caroline Elise sent to Callaghan six days before posting the allegations on TikTok.

The message includes the handle of Caroline Elise's Venmo account. She wrote Callaghan could use it if "HBO cuts you a fat check, and you in any way feel like helping contribute to the massive amounts of therapy bills I have accrued."

Sure but it also doesn't sound like she just made it up and is extorting him on lies, you know?
