’s privacy policy asserts that Starboard Movements LLC “operates the website.” Under a section entitled “ Fund Disclosure,” the website claims that Starboard Movements “has established this crowdfunding website with the authorization of, and in coordination with, Carson Griffith (‘Client’).”Ī certificate of formation filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of Texas and dated Aplists Charles Johnson along with Benjamin Allen as the managing members of Starboard Movements, LLC. Now, Griffith appears to be getting help from a company started by one of the original Gawker’s chief antagonists. Griffith filed a lawsuit against The Daily Beast earlier this year, alleging that reporter Maxwell Tani was motivated by his personal agenda (Tani was friends with one of the Gawker writers, which he acknowledged in the 2019 piece). When they felt HR did not respond properly, the duo resigned and said that they couldn’t “continue to work under someone who is antithetical to our sensibility and journalistic ethics, or for an employer who refuses to listen to the women who work for him when it’s inconvenient.” After Splinter published a story that included Griffith’s old tweets using gay slurs and racial stereotypes about Asians, the two writers, Maya Kosoff and Anna Breslaw, went to Bustle Digital Group human resources with complaints about Griffith, which they said included remarks about poor people as well as sharing an email remarking on the penis size of a well-known businessman. In 2019, The Daily Beast published a story about how the relaunch of Gawker collapsed after two full-time writers resigned in protest for what they claimed were offensive comments made by then-editorial director Carson Griffith. A former Gawker editor suing The Daily Beast is getting help from a set of right-wing trolls, including a Trumpy conspiracy site, white nationalist sympathizer Michelle Malkin, and a company tied to far-right agitator Charles Johnson.
