Wait what was the tea?
I’ve never considered this tea. But here’s what they’re referring to.
Years ago I had a friend who also fell down the Kaylor rabbit hole and wondered if it could be true. Apparently she spoke to TTB a few times and was into it for a few weeks and then came back to reality.
We would talk sometimes about Taylor and Kaylor stuff but mostly we just talked about life and connected over normal friends stuff. We got really close. We haven’t talked in a while because she had a baby and that takes up ALL your time but we still stay in touch.
She lives in NYC and her husband is an executive at Oscar and works closely with Josh. That’s the only part that I can “prove”. The only way I’d be able to prove it is by showing you guys our FB interactions and that her husband is on FB and that you all could look up where he works easily by googling and see that he works at Oscar amd is an executive there. But the only way to do that would be giving out their names. So I’m between a rock and a hard place there.
Anyway, all I know is what she told me about Josh. And what she knows of him through her husband and through the circle of friends they have via work, which comprise several of his business school buddies. So she and her husband are working friends with him. Not social friends. You know how that goes. And really, it’s her husband that’s work friends with him. My friend only goes along once in a while. She does not claim to know him well. And she’s only seen Karlie a couple times at big work parties and they’ve never really spoken much aside from super uninteresting pleasantries. So there’s no gossip to be had there.
Here’s what she’s said about Josh. That he’s just a really, really super decent, nice guy. And that’s his repuataipn around the office. Everyone gets along with him there from execs to underlings. He’s super smart but also laid back. Very democratic in his social views (this last bit comes from her husband sharing bits and pieces of their conversations, plus I think he made it known in the office that after Trump was elected that it was still a progressive place to work or something. I forget the last part and I’m paraphrasing badly. Something like that. But he put peoples minds at ease because of the Jared/Trump connection).
Then, also, my friend became friendly with some of his friends from business school as they all went out sometimes together. And according to them, at business school, Josh was very studious and paid a lot of attention to his coursework. But he also dated and had a couple girlfriends. Nothing super serious but also he was not the type to have one night stands only. He wasn’t the frat boy douche type. He didn’t just hook up to hook up. And also apparently a lot of girls had crushes on him there.
That’s it!
Oh, there’s one small other part, I guess.
My friend also went to the same small gym that Taylor went to. They took the same class a couple times. My friend was a super huge Taylor fan and one time snuck a photo (or two, I forget) of Taylor and Karlie there together. They were all taking a class at the same time.
My friend said they were acting like normal friends. Just having fun. And the only thing she overheard them say about Josh was that at one point, Taylor said to Karlie, “oh, you have to show this app to Josh!”
Now, during that couple of weeks when my friend entertained the possibility of Kaylor being a thing, she wrote to TTB and said, okay, so here’s what I know, here’s how I know josh and I go to the same gym as Taylor. Etc etc. TTB was ecstatic to have a “source”. But when my friend told her that all the things that TTB was saying about Josh were opposite of what she knew to be true, or that she had seen Karlie with him at a work party, etc TTB would never post about it. She didn’t post anything my friend said unless it had the right Kaylor slant to it.
Which brings us to the pictures. My friend shared the pics with TTB and told her the “show this app to Josh!” part. Well, instead, TTB took the pics and sent them to all the other big Kaylors (at the time there were other big Kaylors - this was a few years ago) and used them as “proof” that Kaylor was real. She lied about the pics, where she got them. She even would lie and say she had photographic evidence that Kaylor was real I. Her blog but she couldn’t share it (because my friend forbade her to because she actually felt really bad that she had taken a sneaky picture of Taylor and Karlie without them knowing and had sent it to someone. And at that point she regretted sending it to TTB because she was NOT a Kaylor believer anymore).
When she told me about the pics, I said, “let me post them and then she can’t lie anymore. I’ll put them up and she’ll have no ‘photographic proof’ and the other Kaylor blogs will see that she’s full of shit’”
So I posted them. And people gave me a hard time for posting private sneaky pics. TTB claimed she’d never seen them. She threatened my friend. My friend got scared because she H.D. her real email address and was afraid she’d do something like dox her.
Nothing really came of it though. And that’s all.
