Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”
Assuming I will continue watching LTT after this whole fiasco, I just hope James, Riley, Dan, Plouffe, Alex and Jake (of the top of my head. I usually like most of the hosts) are not responsible for the potential allegations and are just the nice tech bros they are presented as. If some of them are, oof :(
Given how the company grew from the talent and the nature of the complaints it’s likely one or more of those telegenic hosts committed, approved of or covered up those acts.
There just isn’t a huge structure independent of the talent on screen.
Assuming a good portion of the company are fans of the olden days now old enough to get employed, they may even look past the issues with rose glasses until it’s pointed out by an outsider. And I could see that actually happening.
TBH… I have a feeling some of who you named are part of who she is calling out.
iirc James would have technically been her boss during her time there.
I will stay optimistic but if anything should come out from the external investigation they supposedly want to do that someone was actually responsible, I stand behind the decision of either termination or at least a proper disciplinary action.
