Christina Taft Takes a Stand for Witnesses and Artists Affected by Hollywood Power Players
Los Angeles, California, 24th October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, Christina Taft, CEO of Rescue Social Inc., has taken a bold step in advocating for those wronged by powerful figures in Hollywood. Filing a federal case in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Taft v. Paul Barresi and Adam Waldman, Case No. 5:24-cv-01930-TJH-DTB), Taft is calling for protections for witnesses and former clients, particularly in the entertainment industry, where coercion and intimidation often go unchecked.
The complaint alleges that Hollywood fixers Paul Barresi and Adam Waldman engaged in a scheme to manipulate and intimidate individuals within the film, music, and arts sectors. Taft, an entrepreneur, videographer, and humanitarian from Hawaii, claims the defendants’ actions have harmed witnesses, former clients, competitors, and herself, causing emotional distress and professional damage.
Advocating for Justice and Integrity in the Arts
Christina Taft, whose family has long-standing ties to Hollywood’s Golden Era, has dedicated her career to public safety and the protection of vulnerable individuals in the arts. Her organization, Rescue Social Inc., works to create transparency and accountability across various industries, including film and music, where the power dynamics often leave smaller players vulnerable.
In the lawsuit, Taft alleges that Barresi and Waldman orchestrated a series of unlawful actions designed to silence witnesses and suppress testimony. This scheme, which allegedly began in April 2020 and continued into 2024, involved harassment, exploitation of audio recordings, and financial manipulation. The impact on Taft’s work—especially her efforts to improve public safety systems in entertainment—has been significant.
Calling for Legislative Change
In addition to seeking relief for herself and others affected, Taft is advocating for new legislation in California to protect individuals from harassment and coercion. She is pushing for laws that mirror those already in place in New York, which offer stronger protections for witnesses and small businesses facing intimidation related to legal proceedings.
“We need to protect those who stand up for the truth, especially in industries where power and influence can silence important voices,” said Taft. Through this case, she aims to raise awareness about the lack of protections for witnesses and drive changes in California law that will benefit many.
Championing Public Safety After Personal Loss
Taft’s commitment to public safety is deeply personal. After losing her mother, Victoria Taft, a former socialite and model, in the devastating 2018 Paradise, California wildfire, Taft became passionate about improving safety systems for individuals in high-risk situations. Through Rescue Social, she works with interns from Chicago and other collaborators to analyze cases and implement solutions that protect people in the arts from harassment and exploitation.
Taft hopes this case will shine a light on the ongoing challenges faced by individuals in the entertainment industry and spur much-needed reforms.
Seeking Accountability
Taft’s lawsuit also demands accountability from Barresi and Waldman for their actions, which allegedly caused lasting harm to individuals within the entertainment sector. The case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, Eastern Division. A trial date has not yet been set.

Cristobal Bull, Nowhere to Hide, The Islander, and What Mommy Doesn’t See Win April BREW Award
Australia, 1st May 2025, –
The Chrysalis BREW Project has announced the winners of the April 2025 BREW Readers’ Choice Award Book of the Month. The titles recognised this month are Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett, Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin, The Islander by David W. Berner, and What Mommy Doesn’t See by Karen Ledbetter.
Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett was noted for its character construction and storytelling approach. The review from The Chrysalis BREW Project stated, “Corbett’s focus on the Bull’s past serves the story’s depth and flow well.” It also noted that the author “presents the Bull as a human being first, with motivations, history, and internal logic.”
Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin was recognised for its exploration of interspecies dynamics and ethical complexity. The review highlighted, “The best parts of this book highlight what happens when two intelligent life forms attempt to understand each other without the option of walking away.”
David W. Berner’s The Islander was chosen for its portrayal of introspection and change. According to the review, the book is “not a travel story but a story of travelling inward, away from things, people, and situations, and toward clarity.”
Karen Ledbetter’s What Mommy Doesn’t See was recognised for its narrative focus and treatment of sensitive topics. The review noted that “Ledbetter handles sensitive scenes with a deliberate lack of over-dramatisation” and “presents the narrative from the child’s perspective without unnecessary exposition.”
