HBO Executives' Secret Troll Accounts Exposed

Former HBO executive Casey Bloys and senior vice president Kathleen McCaffrey used fake Twitter accounts to troll TV critics and commenters on articles about HBO programming, according to text messages reviewed by Rolling Stone. Bloys and McCaffrey discussed using a "secret army" to fire back at critics and drop pro-HBO comments. The messages are part of a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by former HBO staffer Sully Temori, who alleges harassment, retaliation, and discrimination after disclosing a mental health diagnosis. The lawsuit also claims that Temori was asked to create fake online accounts. HBO did not dispute the authenticity of the messages.
