In the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Plaintiff Sydney Watson alleges that her multimillion dollar youtube career was derailed due to the actions of Blaze Media, founded by Conservative firebrand Glenn Beck, after a dramatic falling out with her co-host Elijah Schaffer. A relationship that became unworkable following the "Cuck Article" superchat by the internet legend MisterDickNballs. (Onion Link to that article here) all links are TOR onion links. get gud.

Its never not funny to post this clip, and I am absolutely overjoyed that I get to do it again here at the start of another thread.



This event, while not the first issue between the two conservative stars was apparently the end of the line for Watson, and soon thereafter the "You are Here" podcast was cancelled with no explanation. On February 8th, 2023, Watson filed suit against Blaze Media, alleging workplace sexual and religious discrimination in violation of Title VII of the U.S. Code.

THE PARTIES

Sydney Watson

Sydney.jpg
Sydney Watson is a conservative youtuber from Australia who made a name for herself by being a girl on the internet who actually likes the chuds. That's about it really. Up until this year she was a talent with Blaze Media in the same vein as Brett Cooper over at the Daily Wire. She now runs a youtube channel independently found here.

Blaze Media

Blaze Media is a Texas Based limited liability corporation founded by its current CEO Glenn Beck. On top of Sydney Watson and Elijah Schaffer, the company is also known for having presently or formerly other stars such as Steven Crowder, David Levin and Dave Rubin.

Elijah Schaffer

While not a named defendant, Schaffer is definitely a causal agent in this. He was Sydney's cohost and the bulk of the complaint centers around him and the fans he cultivated. Schaffer is another conservatuber who makes frequent apperences on Tim Pool's show, as well as Nick Rekietas. His youtube channel can be found here.

Completely unrelated but something I find funny, just look at the view counts with Schaffer

And then compare it to Watsons.

THE ALLEGATIONS

In her complaint, Sydney Watson alleges that during her time at The Blaze, the corporation violated Title VII of the U.S. Code. Known to normies as "The Civil Rights Act of 1964". Specifically she alleges Sexual and Religious discrimination, perpetrated largely by her Co-host Elijah Schaffer, acting in an agent capacity by the corporation. That when the corporation was informed of Schaffer's behavior they did nothing, and then ultimately fired Watson, deciding that Schaffer was the star they wanted to advance, and given the choice between the two opted for him.

Watson Alleges that as the show became more popular, Schaffer became more aggressive towards her, and more demanding of introducing controversial guests such as Nick Fuentes and Jack Murphy despite her strenuous objections.

AND THE LAWSUIT GIVES US AN EPILOGUE TO THE SAGA OF MISTERDICKNBALLS!

Apparently Schaffer chased Jack Murphy off the set and two went out for drinks afterwards. When challenged by Watson as to why he didn't stick up for her during Jacks tirade, he stated it "was because she was a woman".

Schaffer would also routinely mock Watson's Atheism (which she is asserting constitutes the religious discrimination in the suit) and that despite her efforts to get management to tell him to lay off it, was rebuffed. They DID however promise to get Schaffer "To stop talking about dicks so much". On information and belief, Blaze Media made no effort to stop Schaffer from talking about dick.

Watson also alleges, on top of Schaffer acting like a man child throwing frequent tantrums and forcing her to do all the admin work of arranging the shows guests and subjects, he would also publicly disparage her on Twitter (Now known as X).

I actually went a checked this one out. Its real. and NOBODY HAD ARCHIVED THE TWEET. Not even Watson's lawyers. You are welcome everyone. I archived it.

For these and other reasons, Watson prays that the court grant her the relief of Judgement at trial, and the application of punitive damages in amounts to be proven at trial and under available statutory law.


RESPONSE
The Blaze didn't respond. Instead they attempted to get the case dismissed, citing Watson had signed a binding arbitration clause in her contract. The argument was a weighty tomb, running for 23 fucking pages, complete with appendixes, citations to case law and so on. A Very well written out brief. Lawyers spent alot of time on it, it would have gotten an A in any law school course requiring such a brief. Many billable hours were charged.

Five months later the judge ruled on the Brief with a short memorandum, that said, in perfectly condensed form "US Law does not allow for arbitration if a case arises from Title 7".
Picture13.png
*golf clap*.

Well, It was a nice try by Becks lawyers I suppose, I am sure they got paid well for the effort and delaying the case for months so the judge could address this procedural issue.
But now they were on the clock! Time was ticking! The judge wanted a response, and she wanted that response on her desk in 14 days!

Which didn't happen of course. So the Judge sent a pissy letter telling Becks lawyers to get their homework in for half credit or fail the class.
Picture14.png

That same day the response was filed. Was anything countered? Does Blaze Media and Elijah Schaffer have their own side to this story? Who knows, because I read the defense response and it was a boring line by line "Defendant denies the allegation and, this is a legal question, and if its not defendant denies it anyway". Nothing substantive at all. A paralegal could have written it, and probably did, considering how fast it came out following the Judges nastygram.

In response to the Show Cause order, Blaze Media's attorney admitted under oath that there was no malice. She was just retarded.

The case is now in the scheduling conference phase, but I would be remiss to not point out that the lawtubers have been sniffing around it. So you can check out some videos here about it.

Famed atheist James Lindsay also attacked Blaze recently, because allegedly it is infiltrated by "Schmitt pilled" reactionaries.
IMO Blaze will settle with this ho and that will be it.
Her complaints are pathetic. She knew VERY well what she was getting into. 110%. She played the right wing doll type just like Lauren Southern before her, only to discover there are biological reasons for women being overwhelmingly liberal and progressive.
But the law is the law, and she has every right to fuck with the Blaze and get rich off them. Disingenuous shit, but what isn't these days in the media.

Well, they are all disingenuous. reading through this mess however, the one through line is Watson acted professionally, either with deliberate malice aforethought, or because she's not an idiot. The rest of the crew over at Blaze acted like idiots. Which is probably going to serve her case well, because this is ultimately a labor administration case and the victory goes to the person with the most organized receipts.
 
Nice thread.
My only critique is that the images are too small & hard to read. Did you manually resize them? If so, there's no need for that. Upload them at full resolution and insert them into the OP as thumbnails.

I hope Watson takes The Blaze to the cleaners, because it's obvious her allegations are true. Yeah, she's basically Lauren Southern v2.0, but that's no excuse for treating her so poorly.
Speaking of which, it's funny how similar Schaffer is to Crowder. They're both egotistical, thin-skinned manbabies with a weird disdain for women. They both have "down-low" homosexual vibes as well.

Ethan Ralph might have been tangentially involved in this drama, which is hilarious. Probably somewhere in this thread.
Ralph was feuding with Rekieta, and then Ralph showed up (in-person, with his iconic FED shirt and black Cowboy hat) outside The Blaze offices when Rekieta was scheduled to appear on Schaffer's show. He heckled Schaffer in the parking lot and called him gay. I remember Kiwis started wondering if it was true later on, because Schaffer seemed to implode afterward. Lost his show, acted hysterical, etc. Might have just been coincidental timing though (in hindsight).

sydney watson complaining she was mocked for her atheism while playing the role of le based women is peak cringe also shaffer is gay RALPHAMALE W
 
There's a difference between how the Left try cancelling each other as opposed to how the Right do it.

The first group attempts to cancel each other by spilling their spaghetti all over social media in the hope of raising a personal army to accelerate the cancellation process (troons are especially skilled in this form of cancellation). The second group don't fuck around; they just go straight to lawfare.

However the big difference is the threshold at which action occurs.

A typical leftard's skin can be measured in microns. It also costs zero dollars* to crybully on Twitter** or Mastodon or wherever.

Chuds OTOH tend to have a much higher tolerance, and are even willing to engage in broadly respectful debate with those on their side with whom they disagree on certain points. It takes a lot to push an alt-right person over the edge... but when finally pushed, they go thermonuclear via legal means.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that either Sydney's claims have merit, or she's been on a LARP and it's getting too spicy for her. Though LARPs usually don't end up in court...

Great OP. Time to stock up on popcorn.

* unless they pay $8 a month for the Blue Mark of Shame, but none of them do
** so I'm deadnaming X. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?

No, that is what I did. The issue is the conversion process of taking a .pdf and turning it into a postable picture. Some fidelity is lost in the transfer. Just use the zoom feature. If you are trying to read the pictures on a phone that won't work too well though. I'd recommend you just download the actual document and skip to the relevant portion. Its all in the 3 .pdf files at the bottom of the OP.
 
Good OP, one suggestion I'd make is to include a link to the docket on CourtListener or a similar site (and sorry if you did this and I overlooked it).

Edit to add - I have to ask.... what does that acronym Sydney Watson read on-air (I think it was IHTAC) stand for? Google doesn't turn up anything funny.

yeah. This fat fuck couldn't run and involve himself fast enough.
 
damn that's hilarious Jack Murphy and Ralphamale caused a lot of this as my understanding is that part of Sydney's gripe was actually with Ethan's appearance at the blaze studio she was scared of this random rage pig showing up hollaring in front of the building.

Basically this is another all time banger from the killstream.
 
When the hell did Glenn Beck turn in to Colonel Sanders?
Glenn Beck: Hated by black people, owns a third rate media company, coastal elite from Washington.

Colonel Sanders: Loved by black people, built up from scratch a world class restaurant business, rags-to-riches entrepreneur from the American heartland.

I don't see the resemblance.
 
Great thread very funny to see some grfiters tear each other apart in court. Reminder that Sydney Watson was raped by a black guy and then started her right wing youtube 'career'. So its likely she was habouring racist thoughts about black people and searched for like minded people online and then discovered the then new alt-right and fell down that rabbit hole and thought if Lauren could make a quick buck so could she
 
As to Elijah Schaffer being gay, I recall when he first started out alone in a dark studio, doing videos shitting on college students, while working for Glenn Beck. Elijah was frequently announcing that he was non-binary and bisexual and that his pronouns were they/them. Therefore it was acceptable for him to shit on those college students and their gender politics.

At first I thought he just might be bullshiting in order to get a gender criticism pass, but he kept on doing it video after video. I ultimately decided that he wasn't bullshitting.

It didn't take long for me to get tired of it and was unwilling to listen to his fence sitting gender politics excuses and I just unsubscribed to him.

He wasn't significant at the time so I didn't archive any of his videos. He was just one more shit in a sea of shit and piss. I am kind of assuming that Elijah has nuked all of those youtube videos for his new image. I have tried to find them without success.

BUT, if anyone knows if there is an archive of Eljah Schaffer's early youtube videos shitting on college students for gender politics, there is a decent chance you will find evidence of him calling himself nonbinary, they/them and an experienced bisexual.

I'm not finding anything on this.

The closest is this article from the Daily Mail where Sydney Watson finds the Hotties of Melbourne University Facebook page funny. This is contrasted in the article by finding three women who were raped while attending said University. It has ~55,000 students so I think that's below average rates of drunken regret.

They DID however promise to get Schaffer "To stop talking about dicks so much". On information and belief, Blaze Media made no effort to stop Schaffer from talking about dick.
Slightly more detail:
35. CEO Tyler Cardon even asked Ms. Watson to “get Mr. Schaffer to stop talking about
dicks so much.” She told Mr. Cardon that if he wanted it to stop, he must talk to Mr. Schaffer
himself, as Mr. Schaffer refused to listen to women – something Mr. Schaffer proudly admits.
Working with a man who would not ever listen to her solely because she is female was insulting and
damaged her ability to perform her duties.
The CEO of The Blaze allegedly asked Sydney to get Schaffer to stop talking about dick so much. The fact she was asking them to reign him in and their response was effectively "No u" probably is the single most damning part of the allegations as it speaks directly to a continuing atmosphere that the C-Suite was very much aware of. The Jack Murphy incident being in the lawsuit attracts the most attention but, by itself, doesn't establish anything. As part of the alleged series of events it only adds resolution.


That conservative commentary in general seems to have so many loud, poorly managed, and thinly veiled homosexuals is quite humorous. Follow that up with their inherent gay hate of women it makes for great fun as it comes crumbling down. Perhaps I give Sydney too much credit, I haven't followed her career, but it seems she's center right and didn't like having her own brand, a successful YouTube channel, associated with Holocaust jokes and misogyny every time she did a podcast with a drunken man child.
 
Years ago in one of those 'conservatives vs progressive' youtube videos Sydney watson was one of the conservatives and talked about being raped by a black man. The video I remebered seems to have been deleted I'll see if there's a mirror somewhere. But shes says all that happended before she started on youtube and how we should just stop all immigration from non-white countries because of it. It was one the first videos I saw of her back when she still lived in Australia so I've always remembered that fact about her, but if theres no proof I can provide I'll accept being called full of shit
