Send this publicist to jail immediately
Taylor Frankie Paul is speaking out following ABC’s announcement that they will not air Season 22 of "#TheBachelorette":
“Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm,” the statement from her spokesperson reads.
“There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation, and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story."

The next generation of comms talent will think more like creators—with writing that can flex seamlessly across multiple formats, from executive memos all the way down to meme'ing on X.
Social instincts, humor, and design fluency are some of the new currencies driving influence.

We’re excited to announce that Sportstensor is partnering with @GRIDesports to transform official esports data into market intelligence.
Data is everything in predictive modelling. Scraping websites that scrape other websites dilute alpha before you even start. Public data gets you to the starting line but that's where everyone else is too.
Trusted by Riot Games, Ubisoft, BLAST, ESL FACEIT Group, and other esports rights holders, GRID pulls data straight from the source: the game servers themselves. No intermediaries. No degradation. This is the edge that gets you to the finish line.
Together we're building intelligence on official data to capture the $2.8 billion esports market. Ushering in the next wave of market intelligence that will flow into @almanac_market and @polymarket.
Official data. Predictive power. Market truth.

One of Esports most significant contributors has had a very rough time due to serious poor health and by virtue of being an American has ran up substantial medical bills. I hope we can all rally and help out a valued friend and colleague, James Fudge.

In a world where everyone has access to the same powerful tools, what actually sets us apart as writers, marketers, and creatives?
That's the question I tried tackling in my latest newsletter.

No one is talking about the fact that the benchmark for artificial intelligence is whether or not it can play Pokemon
What better way to communicate the capabilities of @GRIDesports' data infrastructure than to showcase it in action.
Earlier this week we compiled a recap of the BLAST CS2 Major in Austin – taking a borderless pool of data and synthesizing it into various player performance, match, and tournament narratives.
That means, for example, we aren't just able to tell you that nearly 600 chickens (!!!) were mercilessly eliminated throughout the event – but how the finals only saw 15 of them fall, demonstrating how the action tightened and became more focused in the most-pressing matches.
Give the report below a read and let us know what you think. And if you're a member of press and are interested in receiving more of these moving forward, drop me a line!
My newsletter Sharpr has been acquired by The Insights Group, co-founded in part by my good pal @sam_s_cooke––the man behind Esports Insider, where my journalism career first started back.
I'll also be joining the company as a strategic advisor, helping to develop and monetize other great media properties within TIG's portfolio––a vote of confidence in my newfound content strategy consultancy.
We broke the news today in A Media Operator, and I'm excited for this next chapter 🤘
