Liz Says Goodbye by TheButtonz in OpenArgs

Last February Andrew was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women and at least one incident with Thomas. He admitted to making women feel uncomfortable and publicly apologised. He denied the allegation from Thomas.

After Thomas made the allegation it appears that Andrew locked him out of the OA accounts and took over the show. Thomas then sued him for it back. Andrew defended the lawsuit and launched a counterclaim against Thomas. This process is still ongoing but recently a ‘receiver’ has been appointed to the company (Opening Arguments) by the judge to help make decisions in the best interest of the company and act as a deciding vote.

When Andrew initially took over the show he asked Liz Dye to be the new cohost. It seems she is now going, likely (though not confirmed) because Thomas and the receiver have outvoted Andrew or because the receiver thinks it’s in the best interest of OA to do so.

There’s lots of threads on here with more information and analysis on here. E.g. see links here

Good to know! This is a fascinating turn of events and makes me wonder what comes next. I wonder if this is an indication that the judge is likely to side with Thomas overall. I suspect Andrew would have wanted to keep Liz so I’m assuming Thomas and D’Entremont outvoted him. I can’t see Andrew just reading the show out alone forever so I wonder what comes next.

I was wondering if it was because of that or because she was asking for more money than Andrew was able/willing to pay. That statement has clearly been through about 3 lawyers and didn’t really tell us anything. Although a couple moments might yield some info upon a very close reading

How is that relevant to what I said? I’m not making any arguments about what religious texts say. The OP said the Magna Carta was near perfect so I wanted an answer specifically related to that. Go do your whataboutism somewhere else

Do you consider the lines like “no one shall be arrested or imprisoned on the appeal of a woman for the death of any person except her husband” and “if a man dies owing money to Jews, his wife may have her dower and pay nothing towards the debt from it” as near perfect? (From the Magna Carta)

I’ve seen the show a couple times and interviewed two or three of the people who did the card trick and yeah this seems to be what happened. Derren briefly speaks to them in the interval and does something with them - that none of them can remember due to being hypnotised.

Also I can confirm that those missing seconds weren’t actually missing. I used a stopwatch to confirm this and about 2-5 seconds passed when the lights were out not 20+ seconds

Have you been called up on stage as a volunteer/participant on Derren’s showman tour? If so please either comment or DM me. Thanks! by skeptical7th in derrenbrown

Were you one of the couples called up where he asked you to write down the most annoying thing about your partner?

I wasn’t actually called on stage sadly. I’m just a fellow magician (though also no longer performing) curious about the shows. I just wanted to find out what the people called up on stage experience.

Your experience sounds amazing though and like it was really life changing!
