Clara Flips The Table, CEO Now Charged With Blackmailing

[tsubaki874.livejournal.com]

Actress Clara, who was accused of blackmailing Il Gwang Gong Yeong CEO Lee Kyu Tae (also known as the Polaris Entertainment CEO because Polaris is part of the Il Gwang Gong Yeong Group), has been proven innocent in court.

The prosecutors are actually indicting her CEO with charges of blackmailing after acknowledging the possibility of his blackmailing the actress.

Clara was formerly charged with blackmailing in October of last year, when conflict arose between her and the CEO regarding termination of her contract. At the time, she had demanded a termination of contract due to feeling sexually harassed from CEO Lee’s messages. CEO Lee sued her for blackmailing, claiming that she has blackmailed him into terminating the contract.

The police forward this case to the prosecutors in March.

In May, Clara’s father, Lee Seung Kyu, told the prosecutors that “CEO Lee has actually blackmailed [them,] and asked [his daughter] to be an arms merchant lobbyist.”

During the investigation, the prosecutors found out that CEO Lee has threatened Clara in the past. In one instance, over dinner, he has allegedly said to her, “What can you gain from making me angry? The money I used for you can be used to bring you down.”

The prosecutors has thus determined that the actions taken by Clara were deemed appropriate. “Clara’s claims cannot be considered bluffed or ill-intended. Request of termination of contract is a right she can exercise, and the way she reacted was also considered acceptable.”

They continued to state that they found evidence of CEO Lee telling her to “cut ties with [her] managers and do as [he says],” which also proved their case against CEO Lee.

CEO Lee Kyu Tae has already been prosecuted and has been in custody for lobbying and fraud regarding weapons trading.

Wtfffff this story took quite the turn.

Ooh what exactly did they do?

[raksha38.livejournal.com]

An arms merchant lobbyist?? What the actual fuck is going on??

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

ikr?!

If we truly pulled back the curtains and found out the secrets of the men who run the Korean entertainment industry, we'd probably be in for a real horror show. I get the sense a lot of them are criminals.

This isn't a surprise though based on the texts, they're exactly right. You could tell his tone with her in a lot of them was very intimidating.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

ohhhhhh boy someone really fucked up here

there are more instances of him threatening her about how he can cut her head off or make her disabled and him demanding to know her period schedule

which is opposite of what the media reported previously
if it does come out that they were straight up lying i'm gonna owe clara a sincere apology shit

anyway it was already determined he's a shady fuck - but what does this mean for ladies code? i'm worried about them

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Same, I know I posted a few comments saying that she was a mess and just needed to stop. Goes to show that I should wait until a situation has completely played out before judging anyone (not that judging is ok in the first place)

Srsly? Gross.

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

But if they didn't fabricated text messages she still didn't comes out as white as lily in this mess. And what about sexual harassment claims?

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

So somebody enlighten me, because I feel like I might have problem with understanding. Prosecutor office stated that because she was threatend all her actions were appropiaete but they didn't elaborated about truthfulness of rest of her statments?

[bumie.livejournal.com]

that's confusing

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Weapons trading, though? The CEO of an entertainment label? WTF?

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Wait, so did Dispatch allegedly lie about this? What about the "leaked" conversations between her and the CEO?

But shocker, it seems the powerful, connected, Korean male CEO is the bigger POS, and not some poor little victim of lying, slutty "practically on the level of a kkot-baem" Clara!1!!!

[sand-nicky.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't be the first time Dispatch lies about sth though.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

this. Every time they release an exclusive~ breakdown of events, I'm just like: "let's see what fanfic people will believe this week"

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

HA! I was right. I knew he was shady as fuck. I am glad the truth is coming out. Also fuck Dispatch

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I'm still not taking side on this one
Both of them are still shady as fuck

I think I never end up making a comment in posts about this, but Omona's users really let me down with this whole history. Pretty much all treated this woman like she was some kind of monster before knowing anything and acting like everything the news says as the truth. I don't know what happened so I'm not going to comment about anything else. Still too soon. But I hope this news makes people stop being such assholes. You don't need to be on her side but you don't need to treat her like she's garbage either.

from what i recall, everyone was on clara's side until she became unable to prove her case (losing the phone, losing evidence, refusing to submit evidence, removing witnesses), and everyone flipped over to be against her. the tendency of this website IS to believe the woman in all cases, unless it's obvious that she is at least partially to blame (see: yewon). in this case, people decided that clara was to blame/lying based on how inconsistent her statements were

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

What even?
This whole story is still crazy.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Exactly as expected...when he got arrested I don't know why anyone was surprised that Clara was right

People don't sue for no reason...and she knew the backlash would be bad

The media also deliberately painted her in a negative light

[revertigo.livejournal.com]

yanno for a community of relatively PR-savvy users who can see dispatch for what is when it targets and stalks y'alls faves, that tabloid suddenly becomes the paradigm of journalistic integrity when it tarnishes the reputation of powerless women in the entertainment industry (clara, lee tae im).
