Blake is a Walmart Return Line Karen
Kim on Andy’s popcorned planet YouTube channel tried to explain the “deserves to be heard” part of the joint statement, which Blake’s lawyers are now trying to spin into some kind of admission by wayfarer that she was right. She made a comparison to customer service, and that customers also deserve to be heard when they have a complaint, but that does not mean the complaint has any merit.
This is actually the perfect analogy to use to explain that joint statement to others, but I’m going to expand on Kim’s analogy and add some color so you can really picture it.
Karen-Blake is at the customer service desk at Walmart, complaining about something she bought, and then broke herself in the parking lot, claiming it was broken before she bought it and Walmart’s fault. The poor Walmart employee must listen to the customer’s complaint, but that doesn’t mean the complaint is based on truth or that she deserves a refund. The customer only deserves to be heard. The employee has video of Karen-Blake breaking the product outside and refuses to refund her. Karen-Blake is not happy, so she demands to speak with the manager (Judge Liman). Manager confirms the store did not sell her a broken product (denies SH claims) and the employee shows her and all the other people in the store the video of her breaking it outside (proof of evidence destruction). After being completely embarrassed due to others streaming the encounter online for all to see, Blake-Karen leaves (voluntarily dismisses her lawsuit).
Well, Blake-Karen comes back the next day and pulls out her own phone to stream to her followers, now claiming the employee she spoke with yesterday said she can get a refund (false claim that Wayfarer made some kind of BS admission), and is throwing a hissy fit on camera, and causing a scene.
That’s what Blake is doing now. She is a lying Karen, claiming she deserves a refund and falsely claiming the employee agrees (Gottlieb, etc. to the press re joint statement). She’s demanding to speak with the manager again (Liman), tells him the lie about the employee, thinking he will disregard evidence of malice, and refund her while she streams it online to cover up the embarrassment from yesterday.
Blake is a hysterical Karen in the customer service department at Walmart, telling lies and demanding a refund, with camera in hand.
