June 16th or 17th – I can’t remember which, honestly… I think it was late in the evening of the 16th after I dropped her off. Molly posts via Twitter about this whole crazy story, using A2′s texts as citations, warning our group about Andrew Blake. The next day, I see this, and I repost it to my own timeline and don’t think much else of it. Molly does tell me that she thinks Andrew must be posting about this online because a mutual friend has gotten in touch (before she posted anything to Twitter) to ask what had happened with Andrew in LA. She also tells me that she ignored that message.
Throughout that week I have conversations back and forth with a number of my friends (particularly L, A2, C, and A1) about Andrew Blake and we confirm a lot of things with each other (including the story about Andy calling C’s partner a “trophy boyfriend” and some other stuff) and we amaze and agog at the craziness of the info we are finding. I order Turmiel’s book. I literally read it in one night. I pass it onto L. I get pointed at Tea’s blog and @kumquatwriter’s blog. This is the first time I learn about the Andy Awareness blog network.
June 18th – I take Chris to the airport to meet Molly to fly out for their vacation. While stuck in traffic on the 405, he relates to me HIS first hand experience with Andrew, how shitty he was to T - that Andrew was constatly trying to one-up them about cooking. Chris, T, I and a couple of our other friends are serious food nerd and like to cook for each other. T is a trained chef (though he doesn’t work as one.) Chris tells me about Andy’s bizarre CR menu and that T had suggested (to be snarky) that Andrew go hunt peacocks for the menu in Beverly Hills… which Andrew totally glommed onto and got very aggressive about insisting they go do….
We both agree (Chris and I) that Andrew is a nutcase and that we’re all very lucky that he’s been excised from our friend group and that we hope to never hear hide nor hair from him again. We talk a little bit about how glad we are that our friends group is so tight and that how we all reacted to this drama is indicative of the fact that we absolutely have the right people in our group… then I drop him off at the airport.
I do not think or talk about Andrew Blake for the next week.
June 23rd – L and I go out for brunch with a few other people and do a complete data download on what we know about Andrew Blake. We marvel at how he rolls through life constantly lying to people and scamming them. I say that this is no way to live and deep down he must be utterly unhappy (still giving him the benefit of kindness.)
June 24th – Molly’s public FB account becomes unblocked (another time, another story as to why it was blocked in the first place.) She reposts her tweet that accounts the Andrew Blake story. There is some back and forth on that thread. I, personally, do not even see it/know there is a thread until I get a text from her at about 11:30pm that night (while I am asleep) asking me to jump on the thread and back her up.
June 25th – I wake up to her text. I text back asking if she’s okay. She says that she is, but to go to the thread and see what is going on, that it’s all making her very anxious. I go over there and see that Chris Cilento has come for Molly hard and is harassing her and my other friends, despite them laying out exactly what happened in LA. He wants “proof.” (Basically we’re back to where we were at at the beginning of this post….) I jump in and lay out the string of events in a far more succinct way than I have here and offer to talk to Chris offline in DM. He swings at me a few times and misses in comments, but eventually does DM me for a discussion. I talk to him for TWO FUCKING HOURS (during which I have to explain to him why Andy isn’t locked up for rape, despite having raped someone -and- he tries to deflect/distract me from the conversation by talking about gardening….) I lay out proof for him. I detail events that have not been talked about in public. I list the lies Andrew told that I heard from his very lips. I give him a sense of the lies he told other people. I tell him that all of us hope/wish Andrew recovers and mends his life and goes on to be…. normal (I hate that word, but yeah that’s about the closest I can come…) but that we in no uncertain terms want him around and in our friends group and that we feel we have a moral obligation to let those in our industry know about his past (especially the part about him being a sexual predator) as we’re all very sure he’s still trying to weasel his way into getting close to people using our names and that we are NOT obligated to support or participate in his redemption. Chris says that based on what I have told him that there are tons of “red flags” and that Andrew has “some things to answer for” and that he would LEAVE MOLLY AND OUR GROUP ALONE.
He clearly does not do that (as evidenced by all the shit he’s said that has been reposted.) After fuming about it for a while, I post a long ass post, delete it, then write another more reasoned post…. Meanwhile, Molly is on the FF-forums doing a Q&A (quite gracefully, I might add) and a few of our friends and I are having an offline conversation about what is going on… and, then today… I wake up to reposts that show that Chris Cilento has my best friend’s name in his mouth… AGAIN. Which leads me to fume and write this epic novel of a post. Which you are now done reading.
To quickly sum up: Chris Cilento is a rape apologist and bully, Andrew Blake is a liar and dangerous person, and ALL OF US IN LA just want this to be done and for Chris/Andy/Andy’s stans to STFU about Molly. Not that most people don’t recognize that what is being said about Molly by this particular contingent is crap, but, you know we don’t like seeing our friend’s dragged online…
The end… oh, I know it’s so not.

I offered to take further steps towards amends if requested by those I inadvertently harmed, and those requests were made, so I am doing my best to fulfill them:
1. I have been asked to make specific and direct apologies to those I have harmed in the past. This is more complicated than it seems, because I have had no contact requests from some of them, do not know how to contact others, and a blanket public statement is insufficient because it would either have to be so vague as to be meaningless or so personal as to be invasive. I AM tremendously sorry for ALL the pain I have EVER caused to ANYONE, and while I am currently taking steps to reach out specifically where possible, I encourage anyone who has ever felt hurt by me to let me know and I will eagerly apologize.
2. I have been asked to “go dark” online. While I will maintain a professional portfolio and friends-locked/messenger-based communication with people I personally know, I will otherwise disengage with the remainder of my online presence for at least the substantial future and be extremely conservative about any later re-engagement once I can be much more confident in my understanding of appropriate boundaries.
3. Focus on my “real life”, job, friendships, therapy, etc. While part of that social media disengagement is that I will not be disclosing details of my life publicly, suffice to say that I am. And yes, I am fully and normally employed in “real” weekly paycheck work and in “real” monthly rent check housing.
4. I want to thank those who responded to my initial apology for a huge lightbulb moment as to part of how things went so terribly wrong. Having had no previous experience in building a social group that wasn’t in some way based on either fandom or an externally imposed environment (school, a workplace, etc) I tried to take my social cues from those around me and combine that with a bit of previous improv training (“yes-and” “active choices” etc) to navigate this new situation. I understand now that this meant I was attempting to behave like someone who had been a member of the group for years - with inappropriate intimacy - and to escalate situations and interactions and center myself in them instead of simply existing in them.
5. Speak to Chris C. about his engagement with the situation. I am doing so privately. Currently, he has agreed to no longer respond to anons.
6. Work on improving my allyship. This is a continuous process for anyone in a position of privilege and I will always do my best to further those efforts.
7. “Own my transness.” Here I am going to have to respectfully refuse. I have stopped trying to *hide* the gender I was assigned at birth or lying when asked about it (unless my personal safety is an issue) but I do not and will not identify myself as trans. I identify as male, full stop, no modifiers. I do not consider “transness” a part of my identity or a label I wish to use, but rather a medical condition that is extremely personal and not anyone else’s business unless circumstances make it so. And that is my right and does not make me in any way a bad person or deceptive. I know that choice alienates me from the LGBT+ community, but that is the reason I consider myself an ally and not a member, as I do not appreciate the continued pressure that I am doing something wrong if I do not consider my medical history something to flaunt.
8. Specifically detail what I did which was wrong. I will do my best to cover everything here, based on the accounts I have seen, and if I miss anything, please let me know.
- [ ] I am sorry that I did not make sure that M, C, and anyone who was considering a more than passing involvement with me was FULLY and EXPLICITLY informed about my past with no assumptions made.
- [ ] I am sorry that I was a messy houseguest and damaged M’s tree.
- [ ] I am sorry that my work on K’s costume was not satisfying
- [ ] I am sorry that I said things to people which made them feel bad about themselves, their relationships, or their lives in any way, shape, or form, including but not limited to L, E, C, A, and A.
- [ ] I am sorry that I said things which were homophobic, transphobic, or any other unacceptable bias.
- [ ] I am sorry that I inappropriately acted in overly familiar, rude, creepy, or disruptive manners. I am sorry that I did not recognize boundaries more fully.
- [ ] I am sorry that I escalated situations and acted in competitive, attention-seeking, or cocky ways
- [ ] I am sorry that I pushed too hard to be introduced to people, included in events, opportunities, or social groups
- [ ] I am sorry that I failed to communicate accurately that some statements were meant as jokes, rendering them bizarre, threatening, or otherwise problematic.
- [ ] I am sorry that I made people feel I only cared about them for what they could do for me.
- [ ] I am sorry I gave inappropriately large or intimate gifts and gestures.
- [ ] I am sorry that I told people I was 23, had never lived in LA, that an IMDB page was mine, and that I intended to stay with M. all summer. I am particularly sorry and am giving this EXTREME self-examination because my first response to this was “I never said that! Why the hell would I say that when I was open with everyone about the opposite?!” and the fact that I genuinely do not remember making these claims or why someone would think I had is a good indicator that I was running my mouth without either listening to the other person accurately or paying attention to how my own phrasing came across. I need to do better on both, but a lie because you were careless is still a lie, and I’m sorry for that.

- [ ] I am sorry for hurt that has been caused by people attempting to defend me.
- [ ] I am sorry that I misjudged the boundaries of what is considered engaging in fandom vs enjoying media things with friends
- [ ] I am sorry that my friend request to K. showed up when it did and the distress that caused, though I can and am willing to show Facebook records that it was sent on 6/12
- [ ] I am sorry that my posts made in the initial anger/hurt/confusion of being asked to leave became public and were ill-considered to begin with. I am sorry I speculated openly on why things happened before I knew.

I am sorry I hurt people.
I have never wanted to hurt people, though I have. I screwed up, badly, in several ways which individually might have been forgivable but which compounded each other into a complete disaster. I have made a great deal of progress since the worst of my past, and I know I have more work still to do and will continue to do it. I profoundly regret the harm caused by my stumbles along the path to building a life that brings only positive things to those around me, but I intend to continue to do any and all work necessary to further myself along that path, and I am grateful for those who have been willing to educate me about my mistakes so that I can endeavor not to continue making them.

I have given this a great deal of consideration because I did not want to violate the request for no contact or to seem like I was trying to create or stir up drama or “defend my reputation,” and because until recently, I had only speculation as to what had happened. (I also want to apologize that some of those speculations and some of my initial, emotionally-charged reactions became unintentionally public).
I want to make a public apology to the friends I stayed, worked, and associated with for the first two weeks of June in LA. I was a poor houseguest and behaved inappropriately on several occasions, which resulted in upsetting and offending several people. I want to apologize for that and for anyone who was scared, upset, lied to, hurt, offended, or mislead in any way. I particularly want to apologize to anyone who discovered information about my past which I had not appropriately made them aware of. I was under the extremely mistaken belief that the level of existing knowledge was far higher, and it made me unacceptably, inexcusably lax in my disclosure.
The people I was fortunate enough to meet in those weeks were an exceptionally kind, diverse, amazing group of creatives, and I allowed my excitement at the possibility of being accepted among them outpace my better judgement and fuel some extremely poor decisions. At no time was it my intention to cause harm or distress to anyone, and I profoundly regret that it occurred. While I mourn the loss of the friendships I had hoped were developing, I will be respecting their request for no contact, which is also why no one is named or tagged here (and I ask that my friends please also respect those boundaries and not contact anyone involved).
I will be taking to heart the lessons learned in the unfortunate way this turned out and doing my best to continue to try to learn and grow and be a better person each day than I was yesterday. Once again, my sincerest regrets and apologies to anyone who was hurt or upset by my mistakes, and if anyone would like a more personal or direct apology or if there is anything else I can do to make amends, I am more than willing and I’m very, very sorry.

Ex-DAYDian reveals Andy lied about his mom growing up in Ireland & gave her a "gross" backstory
(Anonymous) 2018-07-29 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)https://tf-talk.dreamwidth.org/1365.html?thread=1511765#cmt1511765
"He lied about his family a lot. He gave his mom a sad backstory that I won't be sharing because it was really gross and is 100% definitely a lie (it involved her coming to America after growing up in Ireland). This backstory is why we were supposed to try and be tolerant of her being transphobic to Andy because he knew she'd had a hard time and he felt for her and I dunno, she fell back on her belief system because of it?"

Came across this as someone in our costume community here in LA just shared who this person named "Andrew Blake" is and warned us to beware. It all started with him taking money, not returning a dress or give truthful updates. They blasted him on FB. Everyone is quite distutbed.

Look up Andrew Blake on FB, he has a BLM logo as profile pic. My costume community just had an incident of him taking money and not returning a dress, which led to someone sending us links of his fandom past. Very disturbing.
