Normally I don't do follow up posts when it comes to these things but a lot of information has since come out in regards to the Hard Rock Hotel incident. Before I continue, I would like to preface that a lot of articles within recent have been getting taken down so I'm doing my best to archive what I can from these sites as a result.
Of all the sites to be taken down, the REHAB performers list was taken down with the last couple of days. On the list itself, it included several notable names like Kendrick, Diddy & J Cole.
Looks like It was freshly removed... - https://lasvegasweekly.com/nightlife/2014/ma05/rehab-expand-two-days-hard-rock-talent-lineup/
However, I kept a screenshot of the list. This can also be found on Wayback Machine:
Diddy - Sunday, May 25 - Memorial Day Weekend
With the recent camera footage of Diddy abusing Cassie that was publicized Yesterday, it's safe to say we can officially roll out Diddy as abusive & being at the hotel at the time of the reported Kendrick Article.

Alamy Photo @ REHAB 3
Another thing I noticed was a screenshot of a website article publicized on TwitteX that removes the abuse victim being Whitney completely. It reported that it was a girl working for a legal Nevada Brothel named "The Love Ranch." This brothel shut down August 2018.
The Love Ranch - https://www.rhymeswithsnitch.com/2014/09/did-kendrick-lamar-beat-up-hooker.html#more
Now this is purely just based off my assessment of Kendrick's character just from being a fan of his music (& interviews) but he really does not strike me as the person to go to a brothel. Diddy, however, has a notable history with sex workers with now recent ties for abuse. Of course these things lingered already because of his existing lawsuit. All I'm saying is it looks very suspicious the links stop working when surveillance videos start being aired.
It also gives more information on the interview video as it comes from an entire livestream. The interview would've started at 57:10.
Now third and final addition starts off with the question: So, where was Kendrick on Memorial Day? It's confirmed that he was still in Las Vegas at the time BUT performing at the Haze Nightclub. With both photos & video to corroborate this.
Haze Night Club 1
Haze Night Club 2
Haze Nightclub Video Article about Performance
Haze Nightclub is also located inside of the Aria Hotel which Kendrick previously stayed at on May 3rd. No bruises were seen on his hands either.
I decided to look into May 3 as well out of curiosity and found a picture of Whitney & Kendrick from that night.
May 3rd - VIP Pre Fight
It's also important to note all articles about the alleged abuse were published in September 2014 and NOT May. Not a single article. Pretty much only after the Interview / Livestream appeared on the internet.
My theory is Diddy had seven rooms at the Hard Rock Hotel, ended up getting a sex worker from The Love Ranch after his performance at REHAB, some situation that took place where he then ended up fleeing. It's really hard for this to not have been a bigger situation considering she was found in one of the seven rooms. That is... unless she was threatened to drop charges or paid off. The Kendrick name was thrown around as a rumor just to get the heat off. Because why was there never anything that came to fruition? A court case? Security footage of the incident? Las Vegas has a shit ton of surveillance (I know, I've been there personally). Hell, even NOW someone coming out? The security guard in the video even mentioned she never personally saw Kendrick and only heard from someone some time later. The only thing she personally saw was an entourage.
I would suggest looking into the court cases of P. Diddy & Kendrick just to see how much is tied to their name. I'm not entirely sure how to go about that myself but maybe there's something there to look into as well.

ICON PROFILE "By the end of the 2010–11 season, Lionel Messi had contributed very much in Barcelona's domestic and European dominance. He led Barcelona to the La Liga and UEFA Champions League double, scoring 53 stunning goals in all competitions. In the first half of the next season, Barcelona won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, in which Messi provided a total of three goals in both competitions. Following that, Messi also shattered numerous records: most goals in a single La Liga season with 50 goals and most goals in a European club season with 73 goals across all competitions, helping Barcelona secure another Copa del Rey title. He maintained his stellar performances halfway through the 2012–13 season, breaking Gerd Müller's 40-year-old record for the most goals in a single calendar year by netting 91 incredible goals. His brilliant consistent form throughout the years 2011 and 2012 led him to two consecutive FIFA Ballon d'Or awards in those years."

My name is Luyan, I was born in April 1970, in the village of Qingtaipao, Jinzhou City, China. My father was an electrical technician in a nearby brick factory. Mom was a farmer.
One day in September 1971, A guest came to our home, whom my father called Old Brother Liu from Shenyang (1). Dad said to mom: “Troupe Leader Liu knows physiognomy, and I want him to have a look our Luyan." Mom was impatient. Dad added: "Troupe Leader Liu is not a stranger, you should be more enthusiastic! he said, ‘He should not have Luyan seen him, otherwise it won't work'.” Mom and Dad went out of the bedroom. The three of them were whispering in the kitchen. Troupe Leader Liu asked about my birth date.
Note 1, at this time, he was the deputy chief of the Northeast Military Region's Cultural Troupe, about 40 years old, a division officer. He is commonly referred to in this book as Troupe Leader Liu. Before and after this story, I couldn't hear his voice. He spoke in ancient Han; I heard what they were doing from my father's explanation to my mother.
(2)
Troupe Leader Liu said he wanted to see me and wrinkled the curtain between the kitchen and the bedroom. I didn't see him. Dad explained to mom what he said, "That wantonness he's sitting on, the high beam nose to forehead, is a monk's fate, no marriage life."
"What does that mean, no marriage? He can't get married for the rest of his life?" Mom asked.
After dad inquired with Troupe Leader Liu, explained to mom: "It is possible to get married, but the marriage is not happy or long-lasting."
Mom got upset after hearing that and came inside. My dad and Troupe Leader Liu were talking outside. After a while, Dad came into the bedroom and said to mom, "Why did you just leave!"
Mom replied: "He's godly! Who believes that nowadays."
Dad said: "People can see that, and you're not happy to hear it! He also told me that he was just speaking straight from his heart according to what the ancient books say, just directly speaking what he deemed truth. You shouldn’t be like that! If you don't believe, it's okay to just listen! You come out and talk together!"
Mom followed Dad out, asking as she walked: "What is it again?"
In the kitchen, Dad said to Mom: "Troupe Leader Liu said that his eldest daughter, Jianjun Liu (Eve Liu), is a sky fate (Goddess fate), gifted and smart, but also has a destined bad marriage life. He wants to betroth her to our Luyan; says the two are quite compatible. By tying them together as a pair (2), both of their bad marriage destinies will be broken."

Note 2, Illustrations 1-2 are Ometeotl, the god of world creation, from Chapter 18 “The Sun Stone” of this book; they are Tlaloc, the Mexican god of rain, and Chalchiuhtlicue, the mother of all living beings. The red thread around their ankles indicates that they are bound as husband and wife by Huitzilopochtli, the father of Mexico. How is the Huitzilopochtli tied? This is a big project that takes three generations to spend 100 years on; the blindfolding below is the first step in transferring it to the third generation.
Mom replied: "Look at his appearance! What can his daughter look like!"
Dad said: "That's just saying, his family is well off. Besides, his appearance is not good, his wife might be pretty!"
Mom said: "His family is doing well now. In this society, twenty years later, who knows what will happen!"
Dad said: "It's not good to refuse someone's offer. Besides, this is just a saying, in the future, the two children will become a couple or not, is the matter of the two of them. Now, we are trying to break Luyan’s bad marriage fate!"
3 Blindfolding
A little later, Dad and Troupe Leader Liu returned to the kitchen. Troupe Leader Liu said, "If I'm right, the boy will cry as soon as he sees me; however, he can only see me this one time."
Mom was in the back, and when she heard that, said, "There's that! Let's try it then! It won't hurt to see him once anyway."
They arranged the subsequent experiment in a whisper. Troupe Leader Liu added, “Then I'll blindfold him.”
Dad and mom both said they didn't understand.
Troupe Leader Liu said, “Oops! I just remembered that I can't let him see me again in the future!” After thinking for a while, he added, “It's okay! I'll arrange for someone to uncover the blindfold later.”
Mom said unhappily, "Why it doesn't matter!"
Dad smiled and said, "We don't understand, but if Troupe Leader Liu said it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter!"
At that time, I was sitting on the bed in the bedroom; a man came in and walked straight into the inner room. Soon I forgot about it. Suddenly, he came out and walked directly toward me face to face, his face bloodless and expressionless. My mind exploded at the sight, before I could react. He floated back to the center of the house floor, and quickly turned toward the kitchen and out. Frightened, I crawled desperately toward the southeast of the bed, howling!
https://preview.redd.it/tsabhoa7b81d1.jpg?width=2024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78b1d79a17027b739b27df7bf429fc45773ed0dc
Note 3, this paragraph describes the first step of the “Flesh Eye Through”: He approached me quickly, and as I watched, I felt as if the camera lens were focusing quickly, and my head felt as if it were going to explode. The shock caused me to fall in “children neurodevelopmental disorder”. One symptom of this disorder is visual impairment, which the ancients said blindfolded the eyes. The process of Revelation is in section 2.8; chapter 3 discussed more about the process of making “Flesh Eye Through”. Illustrations 1-3, left, are of ancient Mexican origin and represent the third step of the Flesh Eye Through practice, which Huitzilopochtli is lecturing to his godson. Figure 2 shows Tlaloc, whose eyes, in author my own opinion, are the ancient Mexican description of "non-dazzle" feature of the eyes. Figure 3 is a bronze mask unearthed at Sanxingdui in China, in author my own opinion, that is a description of the eyes of the “Flesh Eye Through” as “touching eyes”, i.e., the person who sees it may have the feeling of "being touched”, "being electrocuted".

In the kitchen, mom was surprised and said: "Oops! Really crying! What to do!"
Dad said, "We agreed, you go in and comfort him!"
Mom ran into the house and shouted, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
I crawled to the edge of the bed and hugged mom, crying. Dad also came in.
Mom said angrily, "He was scared! We were both away and suddenly he saw a stranger. Look! Oh! My God! His hairs are standing on end! He scared the kid!"
Dad said, "Troupe Leader Liu asked you to ask."
Mom asked, "What? Ah! What's wrong? Tell mom, what's going on?"
I just, “Woo, woo!” gesticulated and couldn't speak.
Mom muttered angrily, "Just scared! This can't even speak anymore!” Mom stroked my head, and continually said, “All right! Ok! Tell mom, what did you see?”
I replied, "Man! Woo! Woo!”, gesturing with my hands.
Mom said to me, "Ah! A man came in and then went out again. It's okay, your dad and I know about it!"
4 Marriage Contract is sealed.
Dad went to the kitchen, came back a while later, and said to mom, "Troupe Leader Liu went out and asked us to discuss the two children's affairs."
https://preview.redd.it/wuwnwhgcb81d1.jpg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddbea008ef1df6a0346185fd99a5fbe53c3944e6
Mom said, "Like you said, it's not a big deal. How much does he want?"
Dad said, “He didn't say anything about money! It isn’t about money, is it?”
Mom said, "It's better to ask."
The three of them were talking in the kitchen. Troupe Leader Liu said, "Then the marriage is settled! There's no need for any money. This matter also concerns my girl! It's also my business, so I'll make the law (do the magic)."
Dad asked, "What should we do then?"
Troupe Leader Liu said, "I'll tell you later. While you were discussing this matter, I did something outside. Now, half of their Fates have been broken. The rest of the “Making Laws” (western similar words: to do magic) will be done outside somewhere in the future, might not in your house."
Dad said, "It's great that little Luyan will be able to get married in the future! Good Job! It’s all thanks to big brother's hard work!”
5 Vision Test
Some days later, my dad had just returned from work and was talking to my mom. The bedroom opening in my house is about 6.5 meters by 3.3 meters; however, I was surrounded by white fog and couldn't see them. Mom said: "Eve Liu gives gift to Luyan! Quickly let him have a look!”.
https://preview.redd.it/aodg8wkhb81d1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aac570f83a965f228996f2e742ef480f8924e0c0
When I crawled very close to my dad, saw the two toys he brought back: a yellow plastic gyro and a red ornate stick with spots of various colors. As I recall now, at that time, I could see a place 0.5m away and 0.9m in diameter, surrounded by white fog (note 5, this is a symptom of children neurodevelopmental disorder). I could only see half the width of my dad's body, not my mom. It is now estimated that I can't be more than 1.4m away from mom.
Mom said to Dad, "Looks like the kid has an eye problem! Getting down that close to see!"
6 Eve Liu
Another day, I was sitting on the bed in our bedroom, and my father said to my mother with a smile, “The other guy, that who, went to Shenyang and saw the Troupe Leader Liu. His family is doing well. I even asked him about his big girl (i.e., Eve Liu). How old is she!? She runs around, is not afraid of strangers, talks to people when she sees them, recites poems, sings songs, and can-do arithmetic within 100.”
Mom replied, “You still remember! She goes to a daycare center or kindergarten! I've heard that's where people are taught. What does that kid look like?”
Dad replied, "That I didn't ask."
Mom laughed and said, “You hid it from me!" Turning to me and said, "This little man, has a wife in the big city. In the future, after we go to school, we'll study hard and be better than her, we look down her! We're not going to climb up that high branch!”
Dad said, “Why don't you know? I couldn't ask. All he said was that the little girl was so smart, not afraid of strangers, and ran around the front and back yards. Such a little girl! Who can say she looks ugly!?”
Mom went into the inner room and stopped talking. At that time, I really wanted to listen. Mom noticed and said to Dad, “Little Luyan probably understands this! As soon as we talked Eve Liu, he stared and concentrated, listening very carefully!"
It seems that by this time, my eyesight had returned to near normal.

This was Hank named after the octopus from Finding Dory. He chose his own name in the car on the way home from the shelter. Brought him home July 1st 2016 at undetermined age (18mo.- 3yrs). He was my soul dog. He has been gone a few years now but I was missing him extra today so I thought I'd share him with everybody.
All the pics are of him being a blanket baby since that's when I could get good pictures. He was also a digging machine and loved teaching new pups to dig as well. He was the most social and lovable diva. He loved all people and puppies (worst guard dog ever). He was mommas baby though. He was pretty vocal and threw tantrums like a teenage girl he would woo woo and stomp his front paw.
He went by Hank, hanky baby, princess prissy pants, hankstopher robin, drama dog, mouthy brat, James Brown (he would walk around with his blanky on until it fell off).
For the first 2 months we had him he just wanted to lay in the summer sun outside. He was happy to be out of shelter. It took about 5mo. to realize momma was the greatest thing on earth but once he did he loved momma above all.
He came home with kennel cough we thought he was gonna die. He recovered. He had bad joint genetics. He had CCL (ACL) surgery on both back legs over the years with great outcomes. In nov. 2021 he slipped a disc in his back and we tried anti-inflammatorys and pain meds. We even considered surgery but 10000 surgery with a "maybe" as the outcome didn't seem fair to him. And it would probably have just happened again on a different disc. He couldn't control his bowels and could barely stand and would yipe and cry in pain.
We sent him over the rainbow bridge Monday Nov. 29, 2021. He had his blanky and all the snacks and momma and papa. He was smothered with hugs and kisses and tears as he fell asleep. I only had 5 yrs with him.
I don't think I will ever find another baby that loves momma as much as he did. He was the greatest dog ever. He was just a shelter pit mix (I joked he was a pit mixed with a pit). He was on the reduced adoption fee list for being there so long. I was afraid they were gonna euthanize him. He was the first dog that was truly mine, I adopted him, I paid his bills, and I loved him. He was the best thing I ever bought for 30$ and even knowing how much he cost me over the years (knee surgeries are expensive) I would do it all again.
Hug your babies for me. Don't worry I have puppies to love and hug. But I don't have a pittie baby right now to love on.

People Involved

• TikTok user unravel.me.now, face of Lore.fm and sole person appearing in all the official TikToks
• WishRoll, the company behind Lore.fm that has previously made an AI-story-generating app, and was on Forbes 30 Under 30 for their music-sharing app Kiwi

Timeline

• May 6 24 TikTok user unravel.me.now posted a TikTok titled "pov: you built a personal app for yourself that turns any ao3 fic into an audiobook but your mom is asking you what you're listening to when you're washing the dishes (it's a 90k word gojo x reader angsty slowburn).
• From May 6 - May 16 the account continues to upload videos where the app allegedly goes from a personal project to a fully completed app called Lore.fm calling for Betas and eventually fully launching on May 16 2024 posting invite links & puzzle videos to guess the invite code of the day to generate buzz. The videos with the invite code puzzles have since been deleted since the screenshot below.
• Throughout May 6 - May 18 (the time of posting for this write up) any negative comments or comments that expressed concerns were deleted by unravel.me.now. Any comments that contained polite questions deemed too difficult to answer were also deleted.
• People with experience in creating and launching an app noticed that it is highly unlikely this was a simple personal project considering how fast it got everything together for launch. Later people began to research the creators of this app, but at this time any comments expressing suspicion this was a simple personal project striking lightning were deleted.
• Each video marketed the app as "Audible for Ao3". Unlike Audible, which uses voice actors and gains full rights and permission from authors, Lore.fm used AI generated voices (created with voice actors who consented to their voices being used for AI) and did not ask for any permission.
• The way the app was intended to work according to the Apple Store was that users could add any link they wanted and the app would generate an audiobook with the voice they selected. This data would be stored both locally and on Lore.fm's servers.
• On TikTok, unravel.me.now was saying that eventually the app would have even more capabilities. Eventually the app developers wanted a "Spotify Wrapped" experience. They wanted a top charts list with most listened to fics on the platform.
• In Lore.fm's TOS it explicitly bans using the app to circulate and disseminate various things like scams, solicitations, etc. This implies the app was always intended NOT to be only a personal library.
• May 16 2024 officially launches in the Apple Store and the Google Play Store. It uses Archive of Our Own's urls in it's demo pictures. According to the opening paragraphs of the TOS there was no data scraping for AI learning nor was there any third party selling of data. According to Privacy Policy they work with third-party partners and services to obtain data about their users.
• May 16 2024 The Privacy Policy on lore.fm confirmed that despite conflicting comments by unravel.me.now on TikTok, the app WOULD store a copy on the users device and on lore.fm's servers. Their policies stated that it was the users granting them permission, despite knowing for a fact their users would not be uploading material with a clear copyright in their name. "Information submitted to lore.fm will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States. When you use the Software on your computing device, User Content you save will be stored locally on that device and synced with our servers. If you post or transfer any Information to or through our App, Software, and/or Services, you are agreeing to such Information, including Personal Data and User Content, being hosted and accessed in the United States."
• May 16 2024 u/totallymandy posts a reddit thread titled "Audible for Ao3 :/" which brings attention to this app from people who do not use TikTok.
• Redditors find one of the rare times unravel.me.now answers a question, confirming that lore.fm cannot access locked fanfiction (fanfiction on Archive of Our Own that has been set to be viewable only by people who are logged into an AO3 account). See screenshot section below.
• This quickly spirals into multiple threads all over Ao3, Tumblr, and Twitter. There were posts on Tumblr prior to this one, but the post that ended up traveling wildly through Tumblr was posted by creativitycache on May 16th
• May 16-17 Authors begin massively flooding into the [team@lore.fm](mailto:team@lore.fm) email inbox to Opt Out. The team is unprepared for this, and begins responding with wildly unprofessional and guilt tripping responses. Eventually as the flood continued the responses became standardized. Ex 1, Ex 2, Ex 3
• May 17 It became clear the lore.fm team is monitoring both Tumblr and Reddit, as they are linking directly to reddit threads in their replies and are addressing Tumblr posts in response to private dms. rivkae-winters on Tumblr got some of the first replies showing they were actively reading threads on other websites. It was just as unprofessional as you'd expect.
• May 16 Users became aware that previously the team that worked on lore.fm produced a story-generating AI app that has gotten terrible reviews. This deepens the distrust that data uploaded to Lore.fm will not be later used for furthering AI stories, despite the current TOS. Redditors, Tumblrites, and whatever Twitter users call themselves now all began to speculate just how the app was planning on running. Where were they getting the funds? Where were funds projected to come from in the future?
• May 17 A TikTok is posted by unravel.me.now stating they are pausing release of Lore.fm. This TikTok does NOT state they are shutting down entirely, but that they are considering it and are opening a discussion. They continue to delete any critical comments on their TikToks. Other users pointed out that this TikTok contains language accusing any detractors of ableism, not mentioning the main reasons people are upset/not actually addressing the concerns people have, calling other screen readers poor products, and using auto-generated captions that were not edited and have multiple errors in them despite touting themselves as an accessibility company.
• May 18 lore.fm is finally pulled from the app stores. The main website remains online, as does their TikTok account.

Problems With The App

• Copyright laws are a nightmare, and I'm not touching the legalese breakdown here. Just in general, that. AO3 doesn't have an official app for deliberate reasons, due to the app store's policies.
• Using AO3 as a content-generator for an app. If it were a screen reader, or one of the other various apps that read things in a pleasant voice for accessibility reasons, there would be no problem. But this was a separate app that did not link back to AO3 or allow its users to give AO3 writers any interaction/feedback. This app essentially billed itself as a way to package free fan work provided to AO3 as content it controlled.
• Suspicion of intent. How were the developers going to recoup their costs? Why wasn't the data encrypted? Why were they marketing this as specifically for AO3 instead of a general accessibility tool? Why were they not addressing any concerns brought to them before or after launch? Why were they marketing this as a small personal project that implied it was a fan-created app, instead of putting their company name big and bold on it? What were their intentions regarding their other story AI app?
• Opt Out/Consent Since this app was in a legal quagmire, clearly not designed primarily as an accessibility tool, and was hiding all criticism, authors did not feel comfortable with their work being used for this app. They were especially furious that they had to reach out to the lore.fm team and ask to be taken off- they had nothing to do with this project and yet were being told it was their responsibility to refuse instead of lore.fm's responsibility to ask. Authors were also upset on behalf of all the works marked Anonymous, Orphaned Worked, works where the Author's didn't have a way of even hearing about this app's existence, and deceased Authors who never could have predicted an app like this.

Let me know if I missed anything!
