Last night, at approximately 2AM ET, a former employee, Madison Reeve, posted a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, accusing Linus Media Group of cultivating a toxic work environment and encouraging a work culture that was detrimental to her health as well as sexual harassment directed at her by Linus Media Group employees.

“I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health,” her statement begins. “My work was called ‘dogshit’ I was called ‘incompetent’. When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to ‘put on my big girl pants’ and be ‘more assertive’.”

Reeve went on to accuse the company of barring her from videos after she reported being “grabbed multiple times in the office” and being told to “calm my tits” and “stop being such a bitch.”

    Doubt you’d be saying this if you had ever personally been subjected to workplace harassment of the same endurance and severity.

    You’re mixing up chicken and egg here. Victim blaming is a core component of the fucking nightmare of workplace harassment.

      I’ll wait until there’s lawyers and proof involved. I recommend everyone do the same. There’s plenty of people who lie and in 2023 if you don’t have receipts then you really don’t have a leg to stand on unfortunately.

        As if everyone is just going around wearing a wire. With people like you existing maybe I should.
