Neither of them are examples that fit.
Do you even know the Bauer story? How is the second article relevant? It touches on exactly what I’m talking about with Bauer, these are two different accusations, two of several against him on top of accusations of online abuse of women as well.

I am not sure if you are just trolling me for fun but this will be my last response.
1) Your own words - "One was a a blackmail attempt from a random person" original question "Blackmail attempts ect or purposely vindictive false accusations to ruin a career." Please provide 3
He asked for examples of blackmail attempts, you state that it is a blackmail attempt, then ask me to explain why I used it as an example of a blackmail attempt. Like WTF?
2) Aziz - yes there is more context and subtelty to this you are correct. I leaned into the ruining of a career. The timing of it was vindictive - in the article she even says she did it because watching him win an award while being an advocate pissed her off:
Here is the quote from her own article:
For Grace, the Golden Globes brought the events back to the forefront of her mind. “It was actually painful to watch him win and accept an award,” she said. “And absolutely cringeworthy that he was wearing the Time’s Up pin. I think that started a new fire, and it kind of made it more real.”
While we can assume that her story is correct it is her interpretation of the evening. Aziz does not admit to sexual misconduct his statement is as follows:
“In September of last year, I met a woman at a party. We exchanged numbers. We texted back and forth and eventually went on a date. We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual.
“The next day, I got a text from her saying that although ‘it may have seemed okay,’ upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.
“I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.” – Aziz Ansari
Trevor Bauer had his career ruined over false allegations this is EXACTLY what was requested. Here are exerpts of Lindsey Hill texting with her friend: Please note in the texts below "Next victim" implying she has done this before and as it has not come out publically you can assume that she received payments.

"'Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers,' a text Lindsay Hill sent to a friend before she ever even met me," Trevor Bauer explained. "'What should I steal?' She asked another in reference to visiting my house for the first time. The answer? ‘Take his money.’ So how might that work? 'I'm going to his house Wednesday,' she said. ‘I already have my hooks in. You know how I roll.’ Then after the first time we met. ‘Net worth is 51 [million]’, she said. ‘B*tch, you better secure the bag.’ Was a response."
"But how is she going to do that? ‘Need Daddy to choke me out, she said, being an absolute whore to try to get in on his 51 million,' read another text. Then after the second time we met, former Padres pitcher Jacob Nicks told her, ‘You got to get this bag.’ 'I'll give you 50,000,' Lindsay replied. Her sponsor asked her at one point, ‘Do you feel a tiny bit guilty?’ ‘Not really,’ she replied," Bauer continued.
The other girl was charged with fraud. Two examples of blackmail or vindictive allegations no?
I am sorry that you didn't like the examples that I provided.
