In August, a previous vice president at Tinder filed case alleging that Greg Blatt, the onetime leader of Tinder and its particular moms and dad businesses Match Group and IAC, sexually harassed and assaulted her at a business Christmas time celebration in 2016.
On Thursday, Blatt filed a defamation suit against their accuser, Rosette Pambakian, and against Tinder’s co-founder and former CEO Sean Rad, alleging that the intimate battery pack accusations are element of a smear campaign built to provide Rad and Pambakian leverage in a different multibillion-dollar appropriate battle on the value of Tinder stock. “Rad and Pambakian have actually tried to weaponize an essential social motion,” the defamation suit alleges, “undermining the plight of real victims of intimate punishment by making false accusations in cynical quest for a $2 billion windfall.”
