We’re Being Targeted Because We’re Speaking The Truth

For Clarity and Community

The $tripped Project exists to give sex workers real access. Not just a class or a scholarship, but a redistribution model that keeps doors open, spots sponsored, and opportunities flowing to people who are usually shut out.

When false stories spread, the harm isn’t only to me. It blocks the sex workers waiting for a sponsored spot. It discourages instructors ready to teach. It shakes the trust of donors who want their support to matter.

I’m not here for gossip or drama. I’m here to protect the work, the people it serves, and the integrity of this project. That’s why I’m sharing the truth in full, so there’s no room for speculation.

Speaking Up for the Work

I’ve been in this industry for over a decade, and I’ve seen how fast misinformation can spread when there’s no accountability for burner accounts, dogpiling, or cyberbullying. That’s why I believe in sharing the full picture. When the truth is clear, the rumors don’t hold weight.

This page isn’t about clapping back , it’s about staying true to the values this community was built on:

transparency, integrity, and care.

You’ve trusted me with your time, your energy, and sometimes your resources, and I want you to feel confident knowing exactly how we operate.

Every workshop we host, every sponsored spot we fill, and every dollar we redistribute is part of something much bigger than me. Protecting that work and the people it serves, means making sure you can see it for yourself.

Since April, Every Attack Has Followed the Same Script

There’s been an ongoing pattern of online harassment aimed at me and $tripped, callouts for “keyboard warriors” to troll, coordinated false claims, and weeks of story posts and DMs meant to damage my work and reputation.

The screenshots below aren’t here for spectacle.

They’re here because transparency matters.

They show:

how this targeting unfolded
how it’s been amplified
and why it’s important to recognize these tactics for what they are

This isn’t just about me.

The same person has used these methods against:

other Black SW’ers
collaborators
and friends in our community

You never know who’s next.

This section is a record, so the pattern can’t be rewritten later.

This is a living record of my response to recent false allegations. Every word, every receipt, every fact is here for you to see.

Jump to Receipts

The receipts below are being shared to give the fullest possible picture of what actually happened, not to target, embarrass, or demean anyone.

They include:

Agreements made in writing before work took place
Proof of payments sent; often above the contracted or agreed amount
Communication before, during, and after each event or workshop
Cost breakdowns showing exactly how funds were used to keep $tripped running and redistributed to SW’ers in need

Everything here is included for transparency, so you can see the same context I had at the time.

These receipts are the full story, not just the parts pulled out in an allegation.

They show the decisions, intentions, and agreements that actually shaped each situation

Allegations & The Truth

A clear, side-by-side look at what’s been said and what’s real, so our community can stay informed, think critically, and protect the work we’re building together.

Below are screenshots documenting the harassment and targeting toward me and $tripped since April 2025. These posts, DMs, and calls for trolling show a clear pattern that’s been used on others in our community. It’s here so the story can’t be rewritten later.

Allegation #1

That I “took advantage” of dancers by charging "outrageous" fees at a private event.

Receiptsss

Fact:

What This Was

This wasn’t a $tripped Project event. It was a private, SW’er-only party I co-hosted at a friend’s apartment during a slow club season. The goal was survival: creating a safe, controlled space to work without club politics, long shifts, or extra risks.

How It Worked

We used a sliding house fee:

Started low, went up by $10 each hour until 1 AM.
Rewarded dancers who came early.
Covered basic costs (food, drinks, wristbands, supplies, cleaning).
Guests mostly came from the hosts’ own personal connections.

👉 Every dancer kept 100% of what they earned from customers. Even at the highest point, the fee was lower than most clubs, studios, or private events charge.

👉 Terms were repeated weekly, transparent, and agreed upon before anyone worked.

Why I Stepped Away

On June 21, I left that space to focus fully on $tripped. The people there were my coworkers and collaborators. My expectation was that we’d treat it like the professional job it was.

Where I Can Do Better

I can always be clearer about why systems exist, not just the rules, but the purpose. The fee was never hidden or unusual for the industry, but I see how proactive communication builds stronger trust.

Why This Matters

House fees, tip outs, and splits are standard everywhere, in clubs, studios, and private events. The double standard is that when SW’ers run them, they suddenly get labeled “exploitative,” even when they’re cheaper, safer, and more transparent.

If we want real alternatives to clubs, we need to hold all spaces accountable, without targeting the ones built by and for us.

SW’er-led projects only work when trust is clear, fair, and honored on both sides.

Allegation #2

There’s been a claim that I underpaid one of our former instructors for teaching a $tripped Project workshop.

Fact:

What Actually Happened

For every $tripped workshop, rates are agreed on in writing before anyone commits.
In this case, the instructor and I signed a contract for a 90-minute class.
On the day of, the class ran 60 minutes and was filmed on her phone. The audio wasn’t perfect, but we still shared the recording with attendees.
I paid her $100 more than the contracted rate, even though the class was shorter. She accepted payment at the time.
All of this is documented: contract, invoice, and payment receipts.

The only follow-up communication I received was her interest in supporting a page with a history of targeting me and other Black SW’ers. She did not raise direct concerns with me first.

Why This Matters

Sex worker–led projects face scrutiny civilian run spaces do not.

At $tripped, redistribution is the core:

keeping classes affordable for SW’ers
offering free spots,
and paying instructors fairly.

When private agreements are pulled into public forums without context, it’s easy for outsiders to misrepresent what’s actually happening.

The Bigger Pattern

This wasn’t an isolated situation. The cycle leads to real harm:

- cancelled opportunities,
- loss of redistribution funds (mostly for Black SW’ers),
- and public mistrust built on incomplete narratives.

My Commitment

I can’t control how others choose to move.

But I can control my own commitment to:

clarity
accountability
good faith

I will always wish peace for anyone who feels hurt, even when that hurt is filtered through someone else’s agenda.

Allegation #3

That I “doxxed” a "dancer" by using her first name publicly, putting her at risk.

Fact:

What Actually Happened

This was an accident, not an attack.

During a heated online moment, I shared a screenshot that accidentally included someone’s phone number.
I did not notice it right away.
As soon as it was brought to my attention, within minutes, I removed it.
I also publicly apologized and sent a private apology directly to them.

There was never any intent to harass, endanger, or invite harm. I have never encouraged anyone to contact them, and I’ve always made it clear I do not support harassment.

Where I Can Do Better

Even though it was a mistake, I take full responsibility. I could have:

Taken more time to review what I was posting before sharing.
Slowed down in conflict moments to make sure nothing slipped through.

Moving forward, I’ll apply a strict “double-check” rule before posting, especially when emotions are high. Accountability means showing up when things are hard, not just when they’re easy.

Why This Matters

Our industry already faces serious risks when personal info is leaked, whether by accident or on purpose.
I understand the weight of that. One mistake, even without intent, can easily be spun into something more malicious than it was.
Repairing harm and owning my part matters because community trust depends on it.

My Commitment

This is not about defending myself for ego.
It’s about:

setting the record straight,
taking responsibility,
and showing that repair is possible without rewriting the truth.

Allegation #4

That the funds from a $tripped Project workshop were misused or not distributed as promised.

Fact:

What Actually
Happened

Every $tripped workshop operates with clear, written agreements in place before anyone commits.
In this case, funds were distributed exactly as promised:
- Instructor was paid in full (and in some cases, above the agreed rate).
- Sponsored spots were fully covered so SW’ers could attend at no cost.
- Remaining funds went back into the redistribution pool to cover future workshops and mutual aid.

There was no diversion of funds, no hidden payouts, and no broken promises.

Why This Matters

Redistribution is the heart of $tripped. It means:

Affordable access for SW’ers.
Fair, transparent pay for instructors.
Ongoing funds that cycle back into the community.

When misinformation says otherwise, it undermines not just me but the workers who rely on this redistribution.

My Commitment

I will continue to:

Use written agreements for every workshop.
Share receipts and proof when needed.
Keep redistribution transparent and accountable.

Allegation #5

That I gave people drugs to “loosen them up” during events

Fact:

This is entirely false. We had a clear, written drug policy from day one, included in onboarding documents and repeated to every worker. The only controlled substance permitted in the space was cannabis and only in specific circumstances:

Must be with a customer in a designated area
Must not impair work performance or safety
No other substances were permitted at any time

I never gave, offered, or encouraged anyone to use any drug. No one has ever approached me directly about being harmed or pressured around substances in our space- because this has never happened.

Why This Matters:

Safety and consent are non negotiable. Drugging or pressuring workers is abuse and the systems we built were designed specifically to prevent that. False allegations don’t just damage my reputation; they undermine the credibility of SW'er run spaces that fight every day to protect our own when the outside world doesn’t.

When we allow misinformation to spread without evidence, we give power to the very stigma that puts sex workers in danger.

Patterns of Harm

This isn’t about a single fight. It’s about a repeated pattern of harm by the same people, moving as a unit, using the same tactics. I didn’t become their target by accident. I became their target because I refused to cut ties with someone based on unproven claims, and I wouldn’t recourse their narrative.

While not every screenshot is dated, the consistency of tactics makes the pattern clear:

burner accounts,
coordinated dogpiles
identity-based attacks
and recycled false claims.

This is not organic concern. It is systematic targeting.

This began in April 2025. That was the first time I was publicly targeted after ending ties with a former collaborator. From that moment, the same tactics have kept repeating: anonymous pages, black-screen posts with identical formatting, and the same handful of people circulating them.

What you’ll see in these receipts isn’t a series of random callouts, it’s a connected pattern that has escalated in waves.
