How is that even possible? Just heard the Redbar clip and AntH mentions it being on for seven years. I assumed Geno just did a show before Anthony's and that was it, but he was evidently paying for a morning show
-
Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Compound Media had a live Morning Show for SEVEN Years??? WTF
- Thread starter Mick_Mickerson
- Start date
Wasn't it that Bill Schultz fag?
The sad thing was that it wasn't even really horrible- it was just a horrible fit for compound media and/or a comedy network. And no one promoted it at all.
It was bland. But both Bill and Joanne were personable enough. And Bill did put in some amount of effort to get guests and material. It was no worse than most of the crap Sirius, terrestrial radio, or cable TV runs in the morning.
And I doubt either of the hosts were getting paid more than peanuts. Bill reportedly kept his night job as a hotel desk clerk. And Joanne is a waitress (and occasional actress). Both have fallen far from their Fox News days

Yeah and that actually attractive woman who used to be a beauty queen. She's in her 30s... I assumed only boomer comedians worked for compound. He must have been paying OK or she wouldn't have stuck around??
Imagine having a live morning show without any star power...
The *actually* funny thing is that Bill was hired when Gavin quit because stupid KtC thought that Bill was an adequate replacement for Gavin on a "political" show.
> Imagine having a live morning show without any star power...
Those two had more name recognition than most of the Compound Media B roll. They were both Red Eye alums.

Gavin quit, but still goes on Compund? Why did he quit?
According to Redbar, they were paid $150/week for 7 years. Not sure if true but I could see it knowing Nana's stingyness.
Sheckles.
The stories you hear don't really make
out to be stingy. More like a mark and frivolous with money. Ask Keith if he's stingy lol
He left to start his own "Free Speech Network" that I'm pretty sure also went nowhere.
He wanted a bigger stake in the network and wanted to try and build it into something.
Nana wanted get drunk every night and let a retired cop manage the place.
Same basic reason LoS left.
Then both of them later became radioactive and couldn't do anything other than talk to each other.
That still cracks me up. It would be like hiring Tim Sabean to manage route security for a parade
Gavin quit Compound Media to work for some mainstream outlet, and then the mainstream outlet shitcanned him after two weeks.
It was "The Blaze" or something like that.
I've long thought that Gavin has been bankrolling Compound Media for ages. I think that's because:
1) Gavin is probably wealthier than people realize. Vice was worth billions before they crashed and burned, and Gavin was a cofounder. They certainly had to write him a very large check to get him to leave. Gavin once mentioned offhand that he owns an apartment building in Brooklyn; the income for *one* apartment building is certainly seven figures a year.
2) There was a while there when Ant was trying to get Opie to "invest" in CM. Gavin was at the studio that day and seemed visibly irritated that the Opester was there. I'm guessing Gavin wasn't too keen on seeing anyone else messing with his investments.
Wasn't the morning show on at noon, like the old joke about BET?
I was always under the impression that the courting of Opie was 100% KtC and Ant was not the one pushing for reconciliation.
