Responding to haters and critics on social media is very much a thing of the past. After countless scandals and legal issues, important people with responsibilities have stopped getting involved in such messes\u2026 except for the CEO of HBO, who seems to enjoy getting into controversies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The CEO of HBO, Casey Bloys, allegedly ordered his employees to use fake accounts on social media to troll and attack critics online<\/strong>, as reported by Rolling Stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication claims that Bloys became upset over a television critic’s post about the brilliant series “Perry Mason”<\/a> and approached another high-ranking employee, Kathleen McCaffrey, to suggest that another user respond in protest to the criticisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do you have a secret account? Couldn’t we say, especially considering that it’s D-Day, that disparaging a soldier’s experience like that seems quite disrespectful?” Bloys reportedly said to the employee, according to the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
