So, I’m going to share my story of how Robert Littal of @bso has been inappropriate with his female employees. I waited to share this because I didn’t have receipts, but a former writer I worked with has screenshots and was able to send them to me
Too often, we don’t believe Black women. We don’t listen to Black women and we don’t care about Black women. To find out that his disgusting behavior still continued after me...I can’t keep letting him get away with this.
This is my own experience. There are other women who have experienced worse. But it’s not my place to speak for them.
So anyway, this was the incident that literally took the cake. We have a groupme and there were multiple conversations that were inappropriate that took place in the work chat. I never discussed my sex life with anyone in that chat. I would check in and check out.
This one particular day, I was going to attend a Chris Brown concert in San Diego for the “Hell of a Night Tour” with my little sister. I checked in told the group I would be writing an article and be out for the rest of the day.
A white writer we had at the time @LastAngryFan made a sexually inappproritw joke regarding what he believed I was planning to do with the rest of my day off from writing. Something along the line of me having sex with with some military men...something highly inappropriate
Robert aka @bso decides it was appropriate for him to join in on the “joke”
Receipt one: @bso called himself the “Overseer” and I immediately showed my discomfort with their comments
These screenshots won’t be in order sorry y’all 😩
Thank God for @Quierra_Luck because she the only one to interject and call @bso out on his BS in the groupme.
After myself and @Quierra_Luck called him out on his inappropriate comments...there was no remorse just “either get over it or not” and “I’m not changing I who am for you”
. @bso then removed @Quierra_Luck from the groupme cause he was mad she took up for me and said she “made it more than what it was”
After that situation and other sexist comments (like laughing when I asked about the WNBA being a category in our Wordpress) I fell back from writing as much as I did for the site. Now mind you, I had the some of the biggest ent stories for BSO
to find out that this man is still being inappropriate with his former female staff makes me sick to my stomach. After I left BSO he took my name off all of my articles, and I wrote over 1000 FOR FREE
To find out that he is still LYING ON ME. Saying REVOLT reached out to him about hiring me, saying rumors were out there about me, lying saying he paid for hotels for events...
I asked for compensation for my writing, which brought in thousands of views, and u sent $100 for me to go to an event in LA...AFTER the sexual comments bc you knew shit was bout to hit the fan
I continued writing for him after the comments bc fear that he would try to ruin my rep and also bc it was my first writing gig and I didn’t know that his false promises of better opportunities in the media world would all be lies
I should’ve spoken up sooner and hearing that he continued this disgusting behavior towards other women that worked for him makes me feel at fault.
I started the #survivingBSO hashtag so other women/men can come forward and talk about his toxic work environment. Has nothing to do with R Kelly and the fact that u @bso think you’ve done wrong is beyond me
@bso once said this when he tried to come at @amandaseales...Seems fitting for now #SurvivingBSO
There are other women who have a store to tell but it’s not my place to discuss that. Please don’t write for a person like Robert Littal. He’s disgusting. Please unfollow and block @bso that site does more harm than good.
Just got this DM from a former worker of @bso who wanted to remain anonymous smfh. But he claims he’s putting on for minority writers/ reporters. BOY FUCK YOU!
Another anonymous DM from a Black woman who worked for @bso smh he only wanted “attractive” women writing for him no matter what their writing/reporting was like
This is from that same day I went to the Chris Brown concert...another writer who was in the groupme DMd saying how disgusted he was at Rob’s comments. Dates are there
Thanks for all the support tonight. I did not expect this to go so big, but I’m glad it did because people need to know about these men.
