I'm not sure if this actually crosses the line but it sure at least walks up to it and spits over it. Revealing publicly embarrassing information is legal. Nobody is obligated not to have it released. But threatening to do it unless your demands are met generally is.

Is it the sort of thing a prosecutor would take seriously? It seems a bit petty to bother with, but still, don't do this at home.

I wouldn't recommend doing at home anything that these clowns do.

I legitimately think Faran is one of the most intelligent people involved in this mess.
 
Spectre has posted a video that he claims shows that Faran's friend that found the "Lisa Marie" Twitter account trying to blackmail Montagraph.

The guy in the video is apparently threatening Monty that "if that 1000 bucks is not in my Paypal at the end of the day, more information will be released", but I have no idea if it's the same person because I have no idea who any of these clowns are.

There is also an extraordinarily obvious cut at the end, interrupting him at the word "and", so maybe he was about to say it was all a joke, I don't know.

The guy in the video does look similar to the guy in the profile photo of the person in question who was hand-wringing about blackmail.

One of the people who was apparently helping Faran in her Eliza Bleu documentary has renounced her actions and asked for her work to be excluded from the final product.

Looks like Faran has a penchant for drunk driving. There's also a bit about rackets in there.

This isn't the first person she's drunkenly gone after, either.
Last year she blew up at Elissa and went into Rekieta's discord threatening all kinds of dumb shit, saying she was working on an 'expose' about Elissa, etc. etc. etc.
Then after Faran left and sobered up they became total bestiiieeeeees.

I would ask Elissa how things have been but she hasn't been on Discord in like 3 weeks. The drama around the clipping has been getting to her and she's trying to make it into an actual money-making thing without pissing off the individuals involved *too* much.

Some points:

- I'll start by defending Faran. The drunk driving part is demonstrably not true. If you Google the exact verbiage from the search result shown in the video, in quotes, you will find it's from a news article about a different El Paso TV station employee. Again, nobody involved in this dispute is that intelligent.

- She apparently has big problems with her family and sister in particular. Some of the messages appear like they're from a family group chat, so it seems like someone must have been leaking messages from it - maybe the sister, if she found out Faran had been badmouthing her in DMs to Internet strangers. Who else in the family would know who "Divinity Said" is?

I wonder if the Rekieta swinger DMs could be from the sister. Aren't those screenshots from WhatsApp? Same goes for the message at the end where Faran says she's betrayed that the person leaked messages and threatens a lolsuit over it (LMAO). "You broke my heart" seems like strong words for Internet acquaintances.

In any case, we have more context about why the sister DFE'ed.

- For a "professional journalist" Faran doesn't seem to understand on the record/off the record conventions for journalists at all. In general, the convention is that everything told to a journalist should be considered "on the record" unless there is an explicit agreement for the conversation to be considered "off the record". This has resulted in scenarios where, for instance, someone might send a text or email to a journalist along the lines of "This is off the record, but...", only for the journalist to publicize the message, because the journalist did not explicitly agree to go off the record.

People don't like it and much like "legal ethics" it's sometimes slimy and journos take advantage of it, but this general assumption doesn't match the actual rule, which is that you have no obligation to respect the confidentiality of something you didn't solicit under the expectation of confidence.

There are indeed journoscum who will outright lie and then betray a confidence, but they're the ones actually breaking the rule. Generally assume anything you tell a journalist is going to be published (and probably mangled and out of context to make you look bad so keep your own record if you can unless for some reason forbidden by law in which case do not talk to a journalist at all).

So the drunk driving story in the video was about some reporter from El Paso.

In Faran's statement she admitted to a DUI incident in 2012 that she "was ready to fight" in court. In 2012 I believe she was still living in Illinois, and in any case it was long before she worked for an El Paso station.

She is so dumb that she didn't realize that Divinity's info was wrong and did not in fact have her dead to rights.
 
If Faran completes a competent Eliza Bleu documentary I think she has a shot at becoming relevant in her own right. But in order for that to stick, she would have to

A) Drop all of the drama. She is constantly at the center of drama. It isn't everyone else. This is her.
B) Do consistent quality independent reporting that isn't covered by the main stream.

Tim Pool was able to pull something off. Sadly much more reading of other media sources articles. But at least he normally adds in some independent research and fact checking to make watching some videos worth while.
