(OP's comment)

I've been in contact with quite a few LMG employees. Many have given me statements about the abuse and sexual harassment Madison endured while working there.

One of them also gave me a recording of this meeting that was never supposed to be released. This is my proof that I have talked to LMG employees and have sources inside. I post this as verification of that fact.

I cannot out these people or give direct quotes out of fear they will suffer consequences, but I hope they come forward publicly even if it means risking their careers.

I can tell you their accounts match hers. And even go into further detail. One person constantly was mentioned more than others, but she's not naming names so I won't either.

She is telling the truth.

This meeting kinda goes along with how she mentioned her being sexually harassed was regarded as he causing drama.

Well, those are certainly the correct words, but without an insiders feel for the tone and sincerity, hard to know if it was enough. I hope the perpetrators were appropriately punished/dismissed, but that is something we may never know (nor have any right to know). Hopefully if this is a widespread issue, then others will come forward.

Yeah, that was very poor taste. I can only hope that someone called him out privately on that comment, but it does strongly suggest a cultural problem they need to correct.

This is some high school humor and if you watch any of the videos where James and/or Riley get to play off of each other, it gets really cringe really fast. It probably seemed innocuous enough when they were smaller but it sounds like James is too comfortable with his buddy Linus and has the same lack of awareness to take things seriously.

Yeah, I would have to agree, it's the kind of thing that's perfectly okay amongst close friends, but not in the broader public/workplace. The reality of growing to a company of their size is that they have to mature up as well. They probably should have had the new CEO a long time ago.

Do only strippers dance on a table in Canada? Because I would never think of strippers after that joke
