Celebrity Grimes / Claire Elise Boucher - The once indie darling, ex of Elon Musk, smells like a roll of nickels

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
It's been posted in the Azealia thread, but I'll post it here for archives sake, and because there's a bit more to the story.

Azealia has popped by to hand out some more tea and some surprisingly good advice to Claire.

Now, to the the tweet in the first picture. What's that all about? Well, this month Claire has been reaching out to Reddit support in attempting to get a 'hate'/snark subreddit (r/grimesz) taken down.
It's important to note that this subreddit only appeared as result of extreme overmoderation on the 'official' grimes subreddit (r/grimes), where most threads posted criticizing Claire on her actions or speaking about Musk were getting taken down and comments deleted. Mods only did this because Claire would occasionally browse the sub (and post some of the fanart on her Instagram stories) and didn't want Claire to get upset at the sight of seeing valid criticism.

With an overwhelming majority asking for and agreeing with a splinter sub so they could actually discuss Claire's fuckups without being censored, r/grimesz appeared in November of last year.
It claims to be unmoderated – unmoderated in the sense that you can actually criticize Claire and not get shit removed, and that your manditory Reddit rules still applied. Why is this important? Claire's tweet begging Reddit support to do something about this nasty mean bully sub mentions they're unmoderated – that they've been harassing her family and friends for YEARS... that the evil users are attacking people documenting their nasty behavior, and that the sub was threatening to dox people at the stroke of midnight! Oh Reddit please! Do something!

Here's the kicker – none of what she said is true. Shocker.

Mods come out with a message debunking and explaining their side of the story.
I am not going to mince words in my post title. Saying Claire is lying about this subreddit is not libelous or defamatory - it is simple fact. She is telling blatant lies to a much broader audience than we possess on this small subreddit of 3.2K, so let's lay it all out for any new visitors.

(TL;DR grimes is trying to shut down this subreddit by lying about it)

Lies
-Claire claims that this subreddit has been harassing and stalking her friends and family "for years". This subreddit was created 10 months ago, on October 5, 2022, in response to heavy-handed censorship on her "official" subreddit.

-This subreddit is not "unmoderated". It is as lightly moderated as possible but we consciously honor reddit's terms of service and content policy. Harassment, and threatening and aggressive behavior is not tolerated and we have only ever had to permaban one person for this* - ironically that "fan" she mentions in her tweet - Alex (back to him later).

-I have personally referred several posts that I believe to be questionable to reddit admins, who have later approved them. My idea of light moderation is still more heavy-handed than reddit's own, it seems. Our rules bar explicitly states that Claire and her family are not to be bothered irl. Read rule #3.

-We have not doxxed anyone on here. One poster has been annoyingly smart in mentioning that she is capable of retaliation after someone else (Alex, the "fan") doxxed her first and afaik, she communicated this with him on another platform - not via reddit.

We're in kinda hairy territory here tbh and this bothers me a little, but in terms of personal info, the closest she has come on this board is revealing that he lives in Japan, which doesn't seem specific enough to be actionable tbh (he has also revealed this himself multiple times). I have reminded users that doxxing is not allowed on any sub. Any posts doxxing anyone else will be immediately deleted.

Claire is trying to get this subreddit shut down and has admitted as much
-Claire's claims and attempts to bypass reddit's traditional processes through her power and connections and her massive Twitter platform are a direct threat to freedom of speech. She is abusing her power and privilege to intimidate both this board's users, and reddit staff, into silence. That is not okay. I hate to bury the lede here, but if she ever succeeds, this will be massive. And people should start getting scared about what that means.

-Notably, Claire is deploying the same language Musk used with ElonJet, claiming that this subreddit is a threat. She, who has children with one of the richest grifters in the world, claims that a subreddit of marginalized people (homeless, trans, disabled, queer, to name just a few users) who used to be fans of her music pre-Musk and are now critical of her politics and affiliations ... is a threat to her. The mental gymnastics here is insane. We are not bullying her, she is bullying us.

Alex, her "fan" and lackey, has been banned from reddit for harassing disabled users
-The "fan" that Claire has been defending in her tweets has had two accounts (that we know of) banned from Reddit already. He has been openly and shamelessly racist, transphobic, misogynistic and ableist. Evidence of his open transphobia here.

-Alex has dredged through this subreddit's users' posts to hold their disabilities and sexual assaults against them. Incessantly stalking and harassing this board's users is why his most recent account was banned by admins on July 14. Notably, this wasn't just one ban, but he received two temporary bans first, and still refused to stop his creepy, stalkerish behavior.

-Alex, the "fan", doxxed and outed one of our users on his Twitter account grimezshate on July 22, long before any other doxxing accusations. This is the kind of company Claire now keeps - and sanctions.

Holding Claire to account
-While we have not been harassing Claire, we have certainly posed questions about her behavior over the 10 months that we have been active. This is a whole other rabbit hole to fall down. Ngl, some of the allegations seem kinda nuts but as we try to stick to our minimal censorship ethos, some wildcards will invariably pass through, and there have been some allegations made based on flimsy evidence. However, our users have also tracked her increasing affiliations with far-right figures, have written brilliant analyses of her interviews, and I personally have a vested interest in rebutting any BS she spreads about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as it is a topic close to my heart.

-We have been wondering where the new music is loudly and repeatedly. Definitely guilty of that.

-We suspect Claire has been harassing this board's users herself via DM. One former moderator of the "official" subreddit said: "Claire clearly isn't well and I do not wish to pile on or I would release my DMs." I have also held back from publishing DMs from an account I suspect to be hers because I believed she was going through something. Now I'm starting to think she's simply a gaping asshole.

*edit - sorry, two people! forgot about Space Genesis

A few days prior to Claire's oh so desperate plea to Reddit, she was speaking to her little white knight about the eebil boolies.

This was all mere days before the shit storm RE: Lizzo fatshaming and being bizarre with her dancers, and yes, Miss Lizzo was a good friend of Claire's.

(From 2014. Woman on left is Caroline Smith, one of Lizzo's main collaborators at the time.)

And yes, Claire came in very quickly to shield Lizzo from the accusations, saying that Lizzo had only ever been nice to her! How could she be so mean to other people? It can't be true!

How very feminist of you Claire.

Oh, and Azealia has just a bit more to say to Claire, asking why she keeps dragging up their drama, dragging Elon and how Claire's fatshaming of her made her research into food.
"You changed my life, when you called me fat."

Lmao, leave it to Grimes to engage in the most archetypal lolcow behavior of demanding that mean things and unflattering FACTS said about her be removed from the Internet. Literally Lolcow 101.

You gotta put up backup evidence of these things (screenshots are also good) because if that particular post or the subreddit as a whole get deleted, it becomes very easy for Grimes and her stans to claim it was completely fabricated. It's "just" a mod response, but it's still good practice for anything posted on this site, for posterity.
 
All these people saying fuck Azealia Banks for being racist are idiots. She has some of the greatest twitter bants ever seen from a nigger (even got banned for a while) and always brings the lulz. She is an S-tier shitposter.
And the thing is, she's racist towards everybody, including other blacks. It's not just da whites, lol. She literally called Zayn Malik (Paki boy band member) a curry nigger and his mother a filthy refugee. She's also bipolar/BPD and flip-flops on people all the time. Look at how she talks about wanting to still work with Grimes as long as she gets away from Musk. She calls Cardi B a sweetie pie one day and the next says she has corny writers. She talks up Taylor Swift's "white coochie mountain," so she doesn't completely hate whites. It's literally a moment-by-moment thing with her based on who's pissing her off at the time. If anything, she's anti-racist because she's an equal opportunity shitposter.
 
Lol at Grimes using "restorative justice" as an excuse for Chris Brown beating Rhianna. She could have still supported her argument and Lizzo without supporting an actual woman beater. She could have said something like "I understand what you're trying to say but I can only share my experience and in my experience Lizzo was nice to me and never did or said anything abusive,." or "There's documented evidence against Chris Brown, we don't know the full story with Lizzo yet," etc. Grimes really is stupid.
 
This one will be a long one, but it's worth it. But let's start simple.

Claire and Elon are in Japan together at the moment, where Claire has done a rather awful DJ set. Though, most of the criticism lies in the big oafish Musk parading around the room trying to livestream Claire's set on Twitter.


Japanese Twitter was not happy about this.

The actual present crowd were rather unamused by Claire's set also.


Now time for the long part.

Somebody has come forward claiming to have known Claire in high school. It's an anon Reddit comment, so obviously take with a grain of salt.
1692338507379.png


Why mention it you may wonder? Well, the OP of the comment contacted another Reddit user to give clarification on the comment – specifically the cucumber dildo part – revealing that the man who did the deed on Claire as a man named Trevor Barton.
1692381961156.png


If anybody deep into the Grimes sphere is wondering why the name Trevor sounds familiar, it's because Claire posted an audio track to SoundCloud in 2011 titled TREVOR, where the description states: "i recorded my friend trevor talking like 4 years ago" which makes it 2008/9 when it was recorded, which checks out with the timeline of some of Trevor's word-salad Twitter recounts. This is the real deal.
Now, as the last comment states, Trevor indeed did pass away in 2021, but its his Twitter (archive) that's the bomb here.
The dude had clearly gone off the psychotic deep end in his last years, but some of the stuff he has posted is interesting, be it fairly schizo word-salad.
These are extremely long accounts/ramblings, but they're important to archive.

This first one seems to be about some kind of ultimatum Claire gave to former manager/Arbutus head Sebastian Cowan about some books she didn't want released that she'd contributed illustrations to and subsequently had all copies burned on train tracks.
Somebody else mentioned quickly in this story is David Peet, who was co-founder of Lab Synethese and ultimately passed away from suicide in 2008, spurring the whole Grimes project as Claire felt she owed it to David to make music. Claire actually made a song about him titled David, which was performed live twice and apart of the illusive scrapped album between Visions and Art Angels.
Archive of the article Trevor is referring to in this.

Other stories Trevor seems to touch on are one of an incident late August 2007 where Claire went missing one night and he presumed she'd had met with foul play, thought about killing himself because he couldn't be without her, her resurfacing the next morning with no recollection of what had happened to her but denying she'd been assaulted, Trevor begging to get back together with her because they totes needed to be together and an occasion of Claire being sexually assaulted.

The rest of his Twitter is schizophrenic pulling apart of her music videos and other things relating to Claire. Last thing I'll include are these series of messages between them both from 2014 that are quite sad to read from Claire's perspective, to be honest.

I really like the thread, but I'd argue I was mislead!

I used to laugh at Grimes online during Covid and now I see a thread of hers on KF that says "Neo Nazi" ? I was genuinely excited and expecting some real crazy shit, but she just makes edgy shitposts that arent prog-approved slop. I expected to read that Grimes was justifying Aparthied due to Elon and posting about TND and the Jews on discord/twitter.

Oh well, great thread regardless. Its nice to have all her lore in one place. Thank you for your service.
 
Grimes is on the cover of the newest issue of Wired. She claims in the magazine interview that she tried LSD at the age of 13. I wonder how many of her answers are lies.

By the way, hitomidori117's tweet (or is it x?) says, "Here's Elon Musk totally getting in the way."
