The Devil always takes a step too far.
In reviewing Michal Neria’s lawsuit against OneTaste Inc. and six individuals, I found an example of stepping too far.
As I reported in Suing the Wrong People: Anonymous Michal’s OneTaste Allegations Uncovered, Neria is suing three people she knew: Nicole Daedone, the former owner of OneTaste, and two of her employees, Rachel Cherwitz and Rachael Hemsi.
Neria alleges they did illegal things to her through a company called OneTaste Inc., a California corporation.
Unfortunately, these three have little money.
Targeting the Millionaires
As I reported previously, Neria is suing three millionaires to cover that problem: Anjuli Ayer, Austin Ayer, and Amanda Dunham, who bought OneTaste Inc. in 2017.
But that creates another problem. Neria left OneTaste in August 2015, a year and a half before the new wealthy owners bought OneTaste Inc.
For a lawsuit to be successful, you need a defendant with money to pay damages, who you can plausibly allege did something illegal to you.
But what do you do when the defendants you allege did something illegal do not have any money?
Most people don’t sue.
Neria chose to step up with a different plan.
Introducing the Falsehood
In her lawsuit, Neria introduces a falsehood to lasso the three new owners of OneTaste.
Neria’s lawsuit alleges:
“From 2010 to 2017, Defendant Daedone controlled OneTaste Inc.
“In 2017, when reports of an FBI investigation into OneTaste became public, Anjuli Ayer, Austin Ayer, and Amanda Dunham (the ‘OneTaste Owners’) purchased OneTaste Inc. in a stock acquisition.”
The implication is clear: Daedone, Ayer, Ayer, and Dunham pulled off some sketchy deal to transfer ownership in 2017 because of the FBI investigation—possibly squirreling away One Taste ahead of the law for Daedone.
Neria’s claim is false.
The Real Timeline
Daedone sold One Taste Inc. in March 2017. But it had nothing to do with an FBI investigation.
Why? Because there was no FBI investigation in 2017. The company was at a high mark when the three wealthy new owners bought the company. Then more than a year later, Neria went to Blomberg to cast her narrative, which the coming posts in this series will examine in minute detail.
Neria was the principal source for the first negative press for OneTaste, Bloomberg’s, “The Dark Side of the Orgasmic Meditation Company,” published on June 18, 2018. Neria’s claims, along with her friend and collaborator, Ayries Blanck, created the narrative that launched the FBI to begin its investigation after, and likely in consequence of, Bloomberg’s June 2018 story.
The first public report of an FBI investigation came four months later with Bloomberg’s follow-up story, “FBI Is Probing OneTaste, a Sexuality Wellness Company,” published on November 13, 2018.
This November 2018 report is the first time the FBI and OneTaste are linked.
The Bloomberg report began:
“The FBI has been making inquiries into OneTaste, a sexuality wellness company, according to three people familiar with the matter. U.S. investigators have asked people connected to OneTaste a range of questions, including whether the company pressured workers into sexual encounters to help close a sale, two of the people said.”
That was Neria’s allegation in Bloomberg’s first story.
The Bloomberg story adds
“In recent months, agents from the New York field office of the FBI have sought out and interviewed multiple people associated with OneTaste, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak about the process.”
The Aftermath
Bloomberg’s November 2018 report states the FBI investigation began making inquiries “in recent months.”
The new owners bought the company at least a year before any FBI investigation.
Yet Neria and her lawyers attempted to dishonestly implicate Ayer, Ayer, and Durham in something nefarious, claiming they bought the company “when reports of an FBI investigation into OneTaste became public.”
There was nothing nefarious except that Neria and possibly her attorneys took the bold step to submit a lie to the court to unethically take money.
In our next post, we will examine how Neria misled her attorneys about which company she worked for.

[…] Caught Red-Handed: Michal Neria’s False FBI Claims in OneTaste Suit […]
Butterface should do an only fans site…..with a bag on he head.
Michal is one of those who says go go go and then when she crashes says why did you make me go so fast?
I know the type.
Dear story. Guilty
Real crimes against children are being committed in plain sight everyday – real victims. Rampant child trafficking but the FBI ignores these crimes, and devotes countless resources targeting strong women and fabricating crimes void of victims- where everyone involved are consenting adults.
Looking to sensationalize an investigation when there is no crime.
Why is she doing this. She must be crazy the publicity is going to eat her up. She plays the fool.
Why would Michal do this?
Do you have her down as irrational and violent too?
I am wondering if the synthesis angle as opposed to victim/perpetrator angle needs a post.
Right? That’s why I never pay parking tickets or bridge tolls it’s so much cheaper to just transfer the registration over to someone else.
