Former OneTaste worker asks judge to toss lawsuit over missed legal deadline
- A former OneTaste saleswoman is asking a judge to dismiss the company’s lawsuit, arguing it was filed after California’s three-year deadline for fraud claims had already expired.
- OneTaste alleges Ayries Blanck violated a 2015 settlement agreement by publicly discussing allegations against the company and disclosing confidential settlement terms despite agreeing to keep them private.
- Blanck’s attorney argues the company knew, or should have known, about her public statements beginning in 2018, years before it sued her in October 2022.
- The court filing contends OneTaste failed to investigate the alleged disclosures within the legal time limit and could have preserved its claims by initially suing unnamed “Doe” defendants.
- The legal fight comes months after OneTaste co-founder Nicole Daedone was sentenced to nine years in federal prison following her conviction on a forced labor conspiracy charge related to the company.
