I unsubscribed immediately. What a horribly toxic work environment and unpleasant company. Where I work, and I work for a place far bigger than LTT, no matter your seniority, you’re out the door the same day if you treat a member of staff the way Madison was treated. I’ve seen it happen. The fact she suffered such abuse for years from so many members of staff is indicative of a company so heavily poisonous, they shouldn’t exist. Hopefully other fans can see through their parasocial relationship and cut the cord.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, it wasn't for years. But yes, the Madison situation needs to be addressed. Can only hope that the culture is rectified, and whoever assaulted her is found, investigated, and fired if need be.

Agreed. Their response made it worse. Watching the PR response today is why I’ve unsubscribed. No thanks.

The apology video has such an off vibe to it. They continue making jokes about sponsors, the store and more when it clearly is not the time to do so. It feels unprofessional. After reading Madison's thread it feels even more... wrong. I see what they were going for but it clearly is not working. They should have just stayed serious, addressed the issues and kept the video short. There's more stuff coming to light now and it seems like they need more than this one video now.
