HBO Used Fake Accounts To Attack TV Critics

The text messages are part of a wider lawsuit filed by Sully Temori, a former HBO employee, who alleges that he faced harassment, retaliation, and discrimination within the company after disclosing a mental health diagnosis.

Temori’s attorney, Michael Martinez, argues that the text messages are indicative of the “very petty” company culture that eventually turned on his client.

The lawsuit also claims that Temori was subjected to discriminatory behavior, and harassment, and even made to create fake online accounts to respond to critics’ comments.

According to Martinez, when Temori started to push back against mistreatment, HBO executives convinced him that he was being given a better career opportunity and offered him a position as a script coordinator on The Idol.
