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.”
People are leaning into the hate circlejerk way too hard, apart from the forum rant they have handled this situation pretty well. They addressed GN’s concerns in their apology video by improving their workflows and communication, and are now hiring an investigator for Madison’s claims. I can’t really think of anything more that they could do, but I guess some people just want to be mad.
They already did the damage. If someone steals something from me and slanders my name, I’m still going to be mad after they say sorry.
