$1,000 REWARD OFFERED FOR VERIFIED INVESTIGATIVE INFORMATION RE: BLAKE LIVELY AND RYAN REYNOLDS’ ALLEGED TRAFFICKING [Working Draft]

Reward: $1,000 for the first qualifying submission. Possible additional or tier-based disbursements may be awarded at the sole discretion of the publisher for exceptional, high-impact submissions.

Creators Fight Back Media (creatorsfightback.com), together with affiliated investigative channels ("Zazzy Investigations" [YouTube] and “Zazzy Sub” [Substack]), are establishing a Whistleblower & Investigative Records Fund to obtain original, credible, and independently verifiable primary source evidence regarding sex trafficking involving Blake Lively and/or Ryan Reynolds, potentially including documented evidence of how any of their businesses, financial structures, non-profits, or intermediaries directly facilitated, profited from, or participated in the alleged conduct.

The investigation seeks to establish whether particular financial transactions, organizational relationships, communications, or other documented arrangements played a role in the alleged conduct. The investigation seeks to establish facts concerning matters of public interest and safety, and does not presume the involvement or guilt of any individual or organization.

Basic Eligibility & Submission Rules

To qualify for reward consideration, submitted materials must be:

  • Original & Unreleased: Beyond existing public allegations, speculation, or media reporting.

  • Documentary & Primary Source: Supported strictly by authentic physical or digital evidence. Unverified oral statements, personal testimony, or hearsay without underlying documentation will not qualify.

  • Materially Significant: Sufficient to independently establish or clarify key facts surrounding the conduct.

  • Lawfully Obtained: Acquired in full compliance with all local, state, and federal laws.

Important: Do not attempt to contact, confront, monitor, or harass any individuals associated with these matters. Do not engage in illegal surveillance, hacking, or trespass to obtain information. Submitting materials does not create an agency, contractual, or employment relationship with any of these publications.

For maximum and end-to-end encryption, send files from a free, anonymous Proton email account to submissionchannel@proton.me.
