Couple of things to understand about what the North Star was supposed to do, what it was advised and what Shaun manipulated situations to have occur so that he is the only content produced by the side. https://www.thedailybeast.com/shaun-king-keeps-raising-money-and-questions-about-where-it-goes-3

First the whole we were told not to have multiple offices. The Atlanta studio was supposed to be the primary base of operations because that is where the initial staff and content that was promised were being created. It was led by Ben who has actual experience.

Second Greg and Aisha were among the last round of employees let go. Shaun got rid of multiple teams in the Atlanta office. Nothing was ever good enough so nothing was ever distributed despite that being the Primary promise of content.

The fact that people currently employed now have health insurance does not address the fact that folks like Greg and Aisha, with actual industry experience, took this job thinking they and their families would be covered is a problem. They had no warning or clue about lay offs.

And none of you knew he was laying folks off and closing a studio in July of last year. He simply moved on to Action PAC that was supposedly organizing around Senate races. Is that still the purpose?

As I said start ups are hard. However most people do not get to repeat starts ups and failing to show proof of concept, continuing to bring in money, and screwing people over. You know there are more folks he screwed in Atlanta who are shamed to admit they even worked with him.

I hope the folks who told us last year this wasn’t newsworthy or they couldn’t go against Shaun for fear of reprisal will read and share. I really wouldn’t care if I hadn’t watched he tank a good project and screw Ben out of something he had been talking about for years.

If Shaun would just simply admit he did some shady shit and fucked it many of us would let it go and move on. But instead he digs in and kicks that ego into overdrive and runs to his DM groups or lists and insist people defend him when they often haven’t even considered the info.

Having been in a Shaun DM group I know this is how he operates. As I told Kali I could’ve sat quiet last year and enjoyed the proximity to Shaun and having him or his pages share my podcast, articles and videos.

But watching him harass Clarissa and the North Star ish smh I’m glad working with them never went further than the few weeks I spent helping Ben and the first team at the Atlanta studio. Shaun had asked me if I would go on staff. At Ben’s suggestion I followed up with Shaun.

Nothing came of it and I’m glad. But folks need to understand the loyalty of folks tied to Shaun’s money. Tandria who I’m sure regrets all involvement will likely never speak up given her personal relationship to Shaun and Rai.

Tandria could tell you about how Shaun tried to get her to lie that Ben sexually harassed her as a pretense for firing him. This isn’t true. Ben can’t because legalities. But Shaun can tell the truth about his behavior. He won’t. He could publicly apologize. But he won’t.
