The broadcaster will not comment on the specifics of an upcoming wrongful termination lawsuit.
HBO won't deny reports that executives within the company engaged in online trolling of movie critics, including Rolling Stone and Vulture writers who were less-than-impressed with recent projects. According to a lawsuit, pieces of which leaked earlier in the week, HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys directed subordinates to create sock puppet accounts on Twitter to insult and argue with prominent critics. The allegations made their way to Rolling Stone, who published them yesterday.
"HBO intends to vigorously defend against Mr. Temori's allegations," a spokesperson for the network said."We are not going to comment on select exchanges between programmers and errant tweets." While the sock puppet accounts and fake tweets might seem unrelated to the hostile work environment claim, they are included in the lawsuit because Temori alleges that he was assigned"menial tasks" that had nothing to do with his job description.
