Bianca Taylor is a fraud and a bully

I am reposting this, since Bianca is working overtime to silence me. I'll keep this simple. I worked with Bianca Taylor professionally. What I experienced was fraud, a coordinated smear campaign against my personal life, and a business built on a foundation that couldn't survive fifteen minutes of scrutiny. The account going dark recently wasn't a coincidence. I'll explain.

For context, Bianca decided recently that she wanted to be a rapper. I am a music producer/A&R who has worked with everyone from Dr. Dre to Chris Brown. These are documented, verified credits. Bianca paid me to produce and write her album. I did everything on the project, she did not do anything but perform. Not a single lyric was written by her. She contributed absolutely nothing to the song she is releasing now, and is underpaying everyone involved.

Anyways, onto why this is being posted here:

The followers

Her primary account, biancataylorm, 1.1 million followers, was audited by Modash, a third party analytics platform. 86% fake. Bot accounts on daily rotation. This is the same account her recruiter was pitching to prospective $10,000 coaching clients as proof of her reach and credibility. The Netflix documentary gets name dropped in that pitch too. The same metrics Bianca uses to essentially scam her clients into high ticket fees, and the same metrics used by both her and her lawyers to try and bully me into a bad contract.

She deactivated the account within hours of being confronted about the audit results and informed of legal action. A 1.1 million follower account she spent years building. Gone in hours. People don't do that unless they know exactly what's in there.

The credentials

$10,000 coaching programs. Her qualifications: an ISSA personal trainer cert you can complete online in about four weeks, and a six week eCornell plant-based nutrition certificate. No degree. Not a registered dietitian. Not NASM, NSCA, ACE, or ACSM certified. The $10,000 price point is premised entirely on an audience she manufactured.

The contract

When I delivered work for her project her attorneys sent over a contract that had been heavily redlined to strip my publishing rights and expand recoupment to include all of her marketing, promotion, and video costs. Expenses I had zero involvement in and zero visibility into. None of that reflected what we had agreed to verbally before I started working.

I pushed back on every point. I was professional, I responded to everything within 24 hours, I documented every exchange. I held the legal positions I was entitled to hold.

What she did next

This is the part that goes beyond a contract dispute.

While negotiations were ongoing she ran a campaign through my personal network. People I had introduced her to, who would not know her at all if I hadn't made those introductions, started going cold on me. A mutual contact confirmed in writing that Bianca had been discussing our situation with her, framing it as us just not being able to agree on terms. Clean. Sanitized. Nothing about the publishing rights grab, nothing about the bad faith redlines, nothing about the verbal agreement she violated.

She used gendered language in recorded communications to try to pressure me into signing terms I hadn't agreed to. Saying that I as a man, make her as a woman feel extremely uncomfortable...merely because I told her "im not signing that". That recording exists. It is 9 minutes long. I have posted a couple of screenshots of the transcript of that message.

She sent her two lawyers to threaten me with "enforcement action" on a contract that I never signed. When she realized she had nothing on me legally, she began to attack my personal life.

A friendship I had for nearly a decade ended because of what she told that person about me. Someone whose entire career I had a direct hand in building. Gone, because Bianca got there first with a story that person didn't bother to verify against nine years of firsthand experience.

The woman who originally referred me to Bianca had the exact same thing done to her. I believed it at the time, distanced myself, and had to go back and apologize when I had my own experience with Bianca and realized what had actually happened. There are posts on this subreddit going back years that document the same pattern from people who had nothing to do with me or each other.

This is what she does. Repeatedly. To multiple people. And then she moves on. There was a post in here detailing getting scammed by her, which she paid $7,000 to have removed, something she openly bragged to me about. She is trying to erase all evidence, including deactivating her IG for a week, then reinstating it with an 18+ restriction so it can’t be viewed while logged out.

The bottom line

If you're thinking about her $10,000 program, the platform it's built on is 86% fake. The credentials behind it are two online certifications. The documentary gets used as a sales hook.

If you're a creative considering working with her, the contract you eventually see will not match what you discussed. And if you push back, the dispute won't stay professional. It will follow you into your personal life, through people she got to you through, and it will be framed in a way that's very hard to defend against because officially nothing is happening.

I have the audit. I have the contract. I have the documented back channel communications. I have the timestamps. Everything I've written here is factual and documented.

Bianca spends a lot of time carefully posturing herself as a spiritual, enlightened individual. The reality is she is bitter, angry, petty, bossy, and controlling. She has spent the last month posting things on IG with captions like "Being a boss bitch means being hated." while she has been the full on aggressor in every possible way.

She'll know this is me. That's fine. The truth doesn't require anonymity, and a bully is nothing but a coward.

As I mentioned before she is working overtime to remove all of my posts and reviews, so there’s a chance this will disappear AGAIN.

Be very very careful of these “influencers” and “coaches” who use their fake metrics and fake positivity as their selling point.

You should all cancel Shadow

I’m sorry to tell all of you, but paying over $500 a year to rent a PC just to be told how much you can and cannot use it, doesn’t make any sense.

In two years of Shadow you can buy a pretty decent PC. In fact you can quite literally purchase a handheld for the price of one year of Shadow.

At least NVIDIA imposed a monthly time limit vs just banning people for using it too much.

Yes I get some people are abusing it, but banning legit gamers for using the PC they pay for is goofy.

Bianca Taylor is a fraud

I debated on posting this, but not only do I feel it is warranted due to her smear campaign against me, I feel like people should know what they’re paying for…or not paying for, rather.

I'll keep this simple. I worked with Bianca Taylor professionally. What I experienced was fraud, a coordinated smear campaign against my personal life, and a business built on a foundation that couldn't survive fifteen minutes of scrutiny.

Bianca paid me to produce and write her album. I did everything on the project, she did not do anything but perform. Not a single lyric was written by her. She contributed nothing to the music she is about to release, and she is under paying everyone who worked for her significantly…

Anyways onto why this is on GymSnark…

Just walked out of Mortal Kombat II...opinions from a fan since the Midway days

So I'll start this post off cutting to the chase for the TL;DR readers... gonna try to be as spoiler free as possible, though I will be comparing MK II to the NRS games a lot in this post so if you have played those games in full, you might not to want read this post past the summary, because spoilers are inevitable.

MK II was genuinely good. I would say 90% of what you would want from a live action MK film, is in this movie. Overall rating is 8.5/10 and would definitely watch again.

To get a little deeper for the diehards like myself who have been playing since legit the original MK1 from the Midway days.

This movie is far from perfect, but it is either tied for the best MK adaptation or a close second. It lacks the charm of the 1995 movie (tho Urban gives Ashby a run for his money), but holy shit does this movie deliver on literally everything else.

I'll start with the most important part. This film is incredibly faithful to the game (NRS games, rather) that its basically 1 for 1 with MK 9 though it does sacrifice a lot of the "filler" stuff from the game. The key plot points are there, with some liberties taken that I didn't really mind much. Without spoiling anything, you can clearly see where the MK X story line is being set up and it's not subtle...and you can even spot MK 11 era easter eggs if you pay attention. Ed Boon had a lot of influence on this film and it's very apparent.

The fighting is genuinely some of the best hand to hand combat ive ever seen in a movie, and one fight in particular might be the best ive ever seen. The fatalities here actually feel earned and are very satisfying, because they aren't sporadic and random like the first film...they mean something in this one. With that said while 99% of the fights are incredible, there was one I found really lame and forced, you've probably heard about it by now lmao.

The cinematography and CGI is genuinely MCU levels in some parts of the film. The sets are gorgeous and the costume design is 1 for 1 with the NRS games. There really isn't a single character I thought looked poorly designed (Baraka looks better in the film than he does in the trailers, but I did think his mouth was a little odd in some angles lol) but id say Shao Khan, Scorpion, and Bi Han took the cake by miles.

Karl Urban is perfect as Johnny Cage and I hope he's in every MK movie moving forward.

Shao Khan is one of the baddest mother fuckers cinema has ever seen, they genuinely could not have done a better job with him. The same goes with Kitana.

The film heavily focuses on Johnny Cage, Kitana, and Shao Khan while the rest of the characters feel like supporting players. This is mostly fine, and in some cases fully warranted, but some key characters to the lore kinda fall flat (one especially in the final act of the movie) but given how said characters are significant to how the lore moves forward im hopeful their screen time will be much greater in MK 3.

Overall MK 2 not only fixes all of the mistakes from the first film, it actually makes the first film more cohesive and makes a lot more sense with the added context that MK II provides. I plan on going back and watching it while this film is still fresh in my head.

Very excited for MK 3 in the future, and hoping this does well at the box office so it gets an even bigger budget than this one.

If you're on the fence because of the last one, I highly recommend giving this one a chance, it fixes EVERYTHING you hated about MK 1 lol.

PS - See it in IMAX. Trust.
