"I was consistently belittled" - Linus Tech Tips employee opens up on alleged workplace s*xual harassment and misconduct

The Linus Tech Tips controversy is spreading like wildfire. Recently, LMG (Linus Media Group) ex-employee Madison Reeve, aka Suop, opened up about the ill treatment she allegedly received while working at LTT.

It is worth noting that Reeve quit the company back in December 2021. This was way before Gamers Nexus revealed the shortcomings and malpractices rampant in the content LTT posts online.

Madison Reeve posted a detailed thread on X (previously Twitter) detailing her plight while working at the company. She claimed she was overloaded with work, asked to manage the LTT OnlyFans account despite her continuous refusals, and was also allegedly subjected to name-calling and s*xual harassment.

The tweet has garnered massive social media attraction since Madison Reeve posted it a few hours ago. Amid severe backlash, Linus Tech Tips has lost over 100,000 subscribers over the last couple of days.

Madison claims she was mentally stressed and upset while working at Linus Tech Tips

The Linus Tech Tips controversy started a couple of days ago when Gamers Nexus published a video outlining fallacies in the former's work. Linus quickly responded to the video, criticizing GN's reporting and stating that the pitchforks were quickly turned against him.

One of the highlighted events was the LTT Billet Labs controversy, which several netizens scoffed at. The company reportedly auctioned off a prototype despite having promised to send it back.

Madison Reeve worked at LMG for two years, starting in 2019. She explained how the alleged ill-treatment and poor management began from day one. Reeve hails from Arizona but shifted to Vancouver to take the job. To make matters worse, her brother had died a week before joining.

Things took a sharp turn when Madison Reeve joined LMG. The contract terms changed, and a lot more work was given to her. When she reached out to Linus regarding the issue, he reportedly told her to "change her priorities."

Commenting on the exact details of the work offloaded to her at the company, Madison claimed she was required to post three tweets, two Instagram posts, and two TikToks minimum per day.

In addition to this, she had to plan, film, edit and post two Floatplane exclusives per week, and manage, plan, execute, get approval for, and schedule all the sponsored content on socials excluding YouTube.

When she protested against such work pressure, her managers allegedly said she was doing a "fun job," so it didn't matter. Moreover, she worked on multiple weekends, on the alleged pretext that social media isn't a real job and that she had to keep tabs on whether posts are working.

In addition to all of this pressure, Madison Reeve allegedly faced extreme misconduct and harassment in her job. In her threads, she repeatedly mentioned that co-workers and managers resorted to s*xual comments and curse words that dropped her mental health to an all-time low.

She also mentioned physical harassment, where she was inappropriately grabbed multiple times in the office. However, when she reported such misconduct to the higher-ups, they allegedly turned a deaf ear.

To add to all of this, Linus Tech Tips also interfered with the content she posted and streamed on her socials, kept a portion of her brand deals, and took a part of her revenue.

Madison mentioned that none of this had been communicated to her before joining the company. It only came up after she had a change in her visa status and moved to Canada, so there was no going back at that point.

Commenting on why she was quiet until now (she quit back in December 2021), Madison explained that it would be "hurting" to genuine and talented people who had been working at the company for a long time. She added that she kept quiet despite constant questions and jokes from Linus Tech Tips viewers.

Fans and netizens had sensed something had gone wrong with Madison Reeve back when she quit in 2021. However, Linus Tech Tips responded with a post on the LTT forums, which Madison summed up as, "No one has come out against us; therefore, we have done no wrong." Madison has since then secured employment at another workplace.
