UPDATE: IN REGARDS TO THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST DANIEL GREENE BY NAOMI KING
🕑 Added 2025-02-17 14:48:38 +0000 UTCHi all. Bryce here.
Early this morning (Feb 17, 2025) EST, Naomi King posted a third video in regard to the allegations they leveled against Daniel Greene last week. It is not as difficult to watch as the other two they posted (and is much shorter), so I do recommend reviewing it when you have the opportunity. Just an hour or two ago as of this statement, Daniel and Kayla also posted a response video extrapolating on their side of the story in much greater detail.
(Regrettably, the first two videos posted by Naomi King have been taken down, but I believe they can still be found if you search Reddit and other places.)
As promised I have been very carefully watching the situation unfold. I have watched all of Naomi’s videos. I have watched all of Daniel’s/Daniel & Kayla’s videos, and I have come to a personal conclusion that I think most of you will feel is fairly obvious:
It is apparent to anyone paying attention that Naomi’s has at the very best been withholding information and providing partial truths that make the straightforward accusations they put out in their first video infinitely more nuanced, and at worst they have put out a story that is functionally entirely fictitious. And with each passing day it seems more and more (in my opinion) to be the latter.
Wraithmarked Creative stands by our statement made on Feb 12, 2025. Please do not consider any of the above in any way to be Wraithmarked stating we will not listen to allegations by potential victims in the future. While Naomi’s accusations currently seem (in my opinion) to be rapidly unraveling, we stand as firmly by the belief that accusers should be heard and respected as we do that the accused have the right to tell their side of the story and have the opportunity to show themselves innocent. That has not changed, that will not change. SA is a toxic issue in many creative industries, and too often is abuse left unreported because people are scared to come forward. This situation does not change that Wraithmarked will listen in the future, and we will hear.
As of now, that is where we are going to be leaving all this. There may be more conversation to be had regarding other aspects of this situation that have come to light over the last week, but moving forward I and Wraithmarked will be dismissing Naomi’s accusations from consideration regarding any action we take in the future unless something changes very unexpectedly.
Thank you to the incredible number of you who have been supportive as Wraithmarked has navigated this minefield. Thank you in advance too, to all of you who work to help Kayla in particular heal and recover from this, whether that be a simple comment of support on their most recent video or continuing to follow Daniel and the videos and content they hopefully continue to put out together in the future.
This community continues to prove itself amazing, and we are ever grateful that you have allowed us to be a part of it.
Thank you again,

I REALIZED I NEVER POSTED OUR ORIGINAL STATEMENT FROM FEB 12 ON HERE, SO I'M COPYING IT HERE FOR YOU:
Hi all. Bryce here.
Regarding the allegations made by Naomi King against Daniel Greene on Monday, Wraithmarked Creative was made aware of them yesterday, Tuesday, morning. As the situation directly impacts an unfulfilled project of ours (THE LAWFUL TIMES, Vol 1 Deluxe Edition), we put out a brief statement regarding that project immediately, which can be found in its most recent update on the campaign page (Update #20). Now it’s time to address you, our readers, backers, and supporters, more broadly.
Firstly, please know that I am personally keeping an extremely close eye on things. I have watched Naomi’s full video, have listened to their statements and looked over all their screenshots, and I am now waiting for Daniel’s response to the accusations.
Second, I know many of you will be disappointed, but at this time Wraithmarked does not have the ability to take any action against the titles of Daniel’s we have published, specifically A WITCH’S SIN and THE LAWFUL TIMES, Vol 1 Deluxe Edition. Before this angers you, please consider that Wraithmarked has binding contracts with Daniel that we cannot violate based on accusations without putting our business and employees at significant risk. For that reason we have to keep all of Daniel’s titles up and available for purchase, at least for the time being.
That being said, that doesn’t mean we have to profit from those projects. Any income Wraithmarked Creative makes from the sale of Daniel’s titles that has not already been earmarked (so any sales after Dec. 31, 2024) will be donated to RAINN, the USA’s largest anti-sexual violence organization. RAINN will also be tagged in this post in case you’d like to check them out/donate yourself.
To our most important point, however: Please do not consider any of the above in ANY WAY a dismissal of Naomi’s accusations or video. While Daniel does deserve the right to counter the evidence that Naomi has brought to the table, Naomi also absolutely deserves to be heard and deserves to be supported. As I said I watched their full video, including the very hard section of raw emotion they display in the final moments of it, and you will never hear me say they or any other person with a story like theirs does not deserve to be heard.
I just need more information before I can make certain decisions that may put my company and my employees at risk. These are still the earliest hours of a developing situation, and I just need more information.
I ask for your patience with this, and I ask you to bear with me while we wait for Daniel’s response. I know this statement will not meet the expectations of many of you, and I do apologize for that. The simple reality is that I have a lot of people who depend on me, and if protecting their livelihoods means I have to weather your disappointment until such time as I feel secure in my decision, I will do that without hesitation.
All the best,
Bryce O’Connor, CEO

Chapter 32?

I'm of the, "innocent until proven guilty," crowd with a generous side of prosecuting those who bring false charge in the way cops can file charges against folks for filing fraudulent police reports.
Shan Sharif
Respect for how this situation was handled! On a slightly more good note fully knowing there’s lots of stress but did post cards go out?
IJ James
A comment about another situation has struck a solid chord with me: “believe all victims” is not helpful. Instead “hear and see all victims” is a bit more realistic. It allows all victims to be heard. And given space while still realizing waiting is the best bet. I hated every moment of this whole situation. I can’t imagine being closer to it!!! I hope YOU are ok!
Baconater
That's fair. Tough situation, but labeled with class.
Bill Hilliard
Bryce, excellent way of presenting this and handling it. This type of situation is always a nightmare to deal with. We are here for you either way and truly hope this all turns out ok for you and the company. Head up, breathe deep, and do whatever you need to do to stay focused on what matters most…your own sanity!! Oh and also, as usual, I truly respect you being so transparent with us all. What you have going on here is something special and it truly shows your outstanding character sir!
Fast Lance
Respect for the way you’re handling

At the very least by his own admission he had an affair. He put himself in this position by traveling across the country to bang someone whom was not his girlfriend. So at the very least he did that. So like I said only victim is Kayla
Adam
A big issue with your statement is that it doesn't look like Kayla is the only victim here. Unless he did exactly as accused, then he is also a victim. Even if as you say he is not "completely innocent" and he did some of what he has been accused of, it doesn't matter. The original accusations will always be associated with him, and he will always have to defend himself against it. I agree that accusers should be heard. If what they claimed has happened, then there there should be consequences. The issue I have is that i have seen too many cases where the accusations were proven to be false, but very little to no effort is made to show/publish that the accusation is false. Search their names, and you will easily find the accusations, but you have to do some digging to find out they didn't do what they were accused of.

Hopefully the resolution leaning this direction means Wraithmarked isn’t hurt - though personally not sure if I’d purchase any more books by DG.

Tough situation to be in. I've been in a position of being close to a person accused falsely. I don't know the full details here and wish you luck. My situation was a lot easier as the accuser was and is a serial liar/narcissist and has been told to take it to court if she wants and I had also told people close to me several times beforehand that I didn't want her near me as I saw her potential to do something like that to me if she ever got mad enough since I wouldn't cave to her demands to hand over my stuff. So when a few years later she starts accusing someone that isn't that type of person and wasn't even home during the time of her saying it happened made it easier on us. I do think accusers need heard, but I wish there were more consequences for false accusations. I also understand why there isn't as it will make those with true accusations more nervous to step forward in an already harrowing time. Again, good luck with the situation and all the best.

Thanks for being so willing to be transparent about the situation and your thoughts Bryce, we understand it’s a tough position to find yourself in. I hope that everyone finds the resolution they deserve.
jacob shlagel
There are a lot of false accusations that have been made against men it is rare that the man is completely innocent, but regardless of that society owes it to the accuser to hear them out and there voice deserves to be heard. Ultimately when it’s one persons word against another the truth is often found between them. The only victim in this seems to be Kayla
Kory Leach
From my pedestrian perspective of watching the accuser’s videos I must concur with your assessment of this to date. Her videos show someone who needs help, both mentally and emotionally. That doesn’t imply that she is a lesser person, just that her story seems suspect. That is what investigators and court rooms are for.
Kenneth Bonar
This makes your "shit week" comment ring true. The sad part about any of these situations regardless of how it shakes out is it still dirties the water and sheds doubt on all parties involved. Ive delt with it in my line of work from a managers prospective and can confirm its hard to be impartial and unbiased until a full investigation is done. Then you have to cage the workplace as well so there isnt reprisals from folks on either side. Good luck brotherman, stay the course and let the investigators do thier job.
Jake Creates
This is a tough road to walk, and I personally believe that your and your companies stand that every victim deserves to be heard and taken seriously as well as every accused deserves to be listened to and have a chance to prove their innocence is the right way to handle things like this. You're a good person and you're handling this correctly.
Isabella Paul
I never really comment on anything online but I must say: very professional way of handling this entire situation. Thank you for keeping the real issue clear, and concise: SA is serious, and as such should be taken seriously no matter what parties are involved. 👍
Chioke Nelson
Yeah, this was probably the most admirably handled situation I've ever seen. Good on you for sticking with the evidence, regardless of who it comes from.
Justus Wingert
Thanks for clarifying. I'm always so stressed whenever something like this goes public. I wish we could just have these kinds of accusations be handled by the law and not in the court of public opinion. The MeToo Movement was necessary and right, because there is an inherent bias against survivors of sexual assault. I just wish there was an easier way to handle it all.
Heather Herren
Thank you for being you!! You listened to both sides of an extremely tense situation and went with the facts!!
