This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit public.substack.comAt the height of the #MeToo movement and the online fever that accompanied it, then-novelist Stephen Elliott was shocked to find his name on a public Google spreadsheet in which anonymous accusations of sexual misconduct were being made of men who worked in the media industry. Next to his name was the career-ending word, “rape.”The “Shitty Media Men” li…

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comThe journalistas discuss whether “women writer” is a valuable identity and then welcome guest Stephen Elliott (who is many things but not a woman). Once a celebrated author and the founder of The Rumpus, Elliott is better known these days as the man who sued “Shitty Media Men” creator Moira Donegan, a lawsuit he recently settled. Elliott was raised in group homes, and he says his legal action came from a moral obligation to fight a list he characterized as a “false accusation machine.” Donegan pledged never to apologize, a promise she kept, but the eventual settlement ran into the six figures. Elliott opens up about the danger of anonymous accusations, the pain of losing deep friendships, why nobody remembers joining a mob, and the strange freedom that comes with literary exile. As he says, “You can't be canceled twice.”In the bonus: Nancy's AI reads her ChatGPT. The Toronto Raptors basketball team celebrate Women's History Month — and promise to do better. Chris Rock splits Twitter, lights up Netflix, and what does “misogynoir” mean? Sarah thinks Nancy just started a beef with Chris Rock; Nancy claims they're all good (weigh in, commenters!). Hot boxes include a documentary on the Sarah Lawrence con man, Matt Welch's questionable advice for dealing with a bear, and a message for the ladies on this international day in our honor.

It's hard to overstate the impact of the Shitty Media Men List on the media landscape back in October 2017. If you've never heard of it, good for you (not said sarcastically). If you have, you know it was a Google spreadsheet where 70 women, who remained anonymous, input names of media colleagues and acquaintances along with their alleged misbehavior, from creepy DMs to rape. This was a week after the Harvey Weinstein bombshell in The New Yorker, and men on the list lost jobs, friends, and reputations. As #MeToo was exploding, the idea of fighting back wasn't popular. Stephen Elliott did it anyway. The writer, filmmaker and founding editor of the literary site The Rumpus filed a defamation lawsuit against the woman behind the list, Moira Donegan.In this week's New York Magazine, journalist Lila Shapiro tackles the controversy and the personalities behind it as the legal battle heads toward court. Elliott, a friend of Nancy's, was afraid the story would be a hit job. It wasn't. Both Nancy and Sarah found it balanced, if favorable to the spirit of the list. Elliott agreed to come on the show to talk about his experience of being accused of rape, the personal and professional fallout, and whether these sorts of campaigns can ever (or eventually) have a positive impact. One detail not included in the story was Elliott's car being spray-painted with the word RAPIST and his garage marked with the letters S C U M. We're not sure why this was left out; Elliott says he sent the photos as well as the police report to the author. We share them with you here.We also discuss a current raft of #MeToo lawsuits, including cases against Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Paul Haggis, and Danny Masterson. The details aren't pretty.Finally, the girls talk about Sacheen Littlefeather, the Native activist best known for refusing Marlon Brando's Oscar for The Godfather on his behalf. A recent SF Chronicle piece exposed Littlefield as a “pretendian” who invented her Indian background, according to her sisters. (The family was Mexican.) Nancy, with her connections to the Native world, could potentially be exercised about this; she is not.No hotbox this episode, but we do reveal that Rachel Dolezal has an OnlyFans.

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki begin with the growing calls for war crime proceedings against Putin and Russian forces in Ukraine before turning to a very different category of legal case: the defamation suit against the woman behind the “Shitty Media Men” list. Biden is lifting a controversial immigration order stemming asylum seekers at the southern border. We discuss whether that will exacerbate the crisis.

Moira Donegan is an opinion columnist for Guardian US whose work has also appeared in the New Yorker, n+1, the New Republic, and in the viral The Cut essay, “I Started The Media Men List," in which she describes her creation of (and the fallout from) the "Shitty Media Men" list that outed sexual harassers in media and journalism. Laura and Adrian talk to Moira about Jane Fonda's classic workout tapes, exercising at home, about what our new domesticity does to the male gaze, the institution of the gym and why one should mourn it, and whether there is a way to disentangle self-improvement from capitalism. [Trigger warning: some discussion of disordered eating.]

The gang celebrates July 4th by barely mentioning it. Instead, Jesse and Katie talk about Blocked and Reported's arguably FIRST EVER beef, which involves a very sensitive staffer at The New Republic. Then they relay two real corrections and one fake one from previous episodes, talk about the increasing possibility, in light of a new court decision, that at least one contributor to the Shitty Media Men list will be 'unmasked,' and discuss a thoughtful essay on what it feels like to be at the bottom of a Twitter pileon. Plus: Jesse finally addresses the rumors that have been haunting him about his relationship with certain New England horses.

Mike Tunison, who you might know better as Christmas Ape or XMas Ape online, is one of the founders of the Kissing Suzy Kolber sports blog and a former reporter and writer for The Washington Post. In October 2017, he appeared on the “Shitty Media Men” list, and since then there's been a degree of “cancellation” to his career. We actually started by talking kind of generically about standing up for your values and the like, and then later in the interview we got into more specifics -- so I killed the generic value stuff and focused on the experience of being part of the cancel culture. Then, at the very end, I added a small section where Mike talks about his work as a canvasser in Virginia and describes how upper-middle-class white families are perceiving Biden and Sanders. Let's get into it.

In this episode, I explore the dark side of the #metoo movement and look at the experience of people who have been falsely accused. I was able to sit down for a chat with Mike Tunison about his experiences with being included on the Shitty Media Men list and how that impacted his career. You can read my full article on this topic over at Forbes.com (http://www.forbes.com/sites/karlynborysenko/2020/02/12/the-dark-side-of-metoo-what-happens-when-men-are-falsely-accused/) .
