Shitty Media Men

Shitty Media Men was a crowdsourced Google spreadsheet created in October 2017 that collected allegations and rumors of sexual misconduct by about 70 men[1] in the media industry, particularly in New York City. Moira Donegan,[2] a former assistant editor at The New Republic, initially began the spreadsheet online anonymously.

In October 2018, writer Stephen Elliott sued Donegan for defamation over his inclusion in the list.[3] The lawsuit was settled in March 2023, with Elliott receiving a six-figure settlement from Donegan.[4]
