Louder with Crowder has been the target of repeated attacks over the past few months. I gave our employees specific instructions not to comment but that is all changing now. You want to come after us? Fine. Happy to answer the questions and set the record straight.

We are imperfect people, all of us, but we are committed to serving our audience and these attacks are coordinated to try and stop us from doing that. They will not succeed. I will be addressing items in the hit pieces masquerading as journalism that have been released over the last few months. Let’s start with the NDA’s and staffers “leaving.”

July 20th – I received an email asking for comment on an upcoming article regarding Steven Crowder and LWC. I did not respond.

July 24th – I called an all staff meeting for 2pm to discuss the show coming back, new formats for the segments, some big wins (Alex Jones!!) and the reason we all needed to respect the need for privacy and not disclose private information to former employees or journalists. Mind you, we weren’t trying to silence a whistleblower. It was obvious that these people just didn’t like Steven for whatever reason and were trying to bring him down any way they could. Just like the left, just like big tech.

This meeting was also leaked to the press as an “Emergency Staff Meeting,” even after I told the staff about safety concerns that previous leaks had raised for Steven and his family.

We immediately began a process to determine the source of the leak and to find out if it was done by accident or in malice. If it was an accidental leak then there would be no consequences, but if by 2pm they had not come forward then I was going to assume it was done in malice and take the proper precautions to protect everyone in the company. No one came forward.

Someone sitting in that room with me, who is supposed to have my back in this fight, decided to put me and my family at risk by leaking information from that meeting. What kind of person does that?

July 26th – I had our lawyers update the NDA to include more specific penalties for violating the nondisclosure. I asked everyone to sign them and return them to me by the close of business on the 28th.

July 27th – We interviewed a few employees that we suspected may have violated their agreements and subsequently suspended two of them. We wanted to give ourselves time to do further investigation but we thought it wasn’t going to be possible to keep either employee.

July 28th – One employee met me at the door and resigned, without signing the NDA. I tried to reach out to this employee that day to discuss our severance package and was told that the only way they wanted to communicate was via email. This sounded strange to me since we had always had a good working relationship. That evening, one of the suspended employees resigned, also without signing the NDA. I reached out to talk with this employee as well and was told that any correspondence could only be made by email. It is very interesting that two employees resign without signing the NDA’s and require any communication to come via email.

July 31st – Two employees were let go, one that was suspended and didn’t have anything to do with the leaks to our knowledge, and one additional person.

Free speech is paramount. It must exist otherwise we are all doomed. The ability to tell lies about this company, put employees and their families in danger and leak private proprietary information is not free speech. It is a breach of contract. These aren’t whistleblowers, they are people using the cover of Steven’s divorce to try and take him down.

If any employees have a grievance, my door is always open. No work environment is perfect, no boss has it all figured out. The only way to solve a problem is to be made aware of it. I know who is involved in this and I am choosing not to name them. My goal isn’t to direct hate toward them, my goal is to set the record straight.
