HBO Exec Casey Bloys Admits To Making Fake Accounts To Reply To Negative Tweets About Shows

HBO executive Casey Bloys has issued an apology for using fake Twitter profiles to respond to negative tweets about shows on the network.

Bloys, who is the CEO and chairman of HBO and Max, stood before TV critics on Thursday during a presentation at HBO’s New York offices. There, he admitted that he is “very, very passionate about the shows” they produce. For this reason, Bloys said he became somewhat obsessed with paying attention to the social media feedback pertaining to the programs he’s involved with.

“When you think about that, and then think of 2020 and 2021, I’m working from home and doing an unhealthy amount of scrolling through Twitter. And I come up with a very, very dumb idea to vent my frustration,” Bloys shared, adding, “Obviously, six tweets over a year and a half is not very effective. But I do apologize to the people who were mentioned in the leaked emails, texts.”

Now, according to Bloys, when he is upset with the bad reviews, he takes his frustration up in private messages instead of using his fake pages. His admission arrived shortly after a lawsuit was brought against Bloys and HBO by ex-employee Sully Temori for wrongful termination. Once his legal docs were filed, Rolling Stone obtained messages between Bloys and other execs confirming the use of troll accounts to reply to negative takes on the shows. Temori claims he was ordered to create the fake profiles and was also ordered to tweet replies from the accounts during his role as an executive assistant. Additionally, Temori was ordered to leave comments on Deadline articles criticizing the network’s productions.

As of now, it doesn’t seem that Bloys is facing any disciplinary action for his tweets, but only time will tell.
