1EMAIL #1
2This morning I was told by Bullethead in no uncertain terms that my passion for this company has been noticed and that it is “off putting.” I was treated as though I was an irritating intern who would just leak songs and post a mix without permission, despite having worked in rights management for two years and video services for a year before that, and despite having 18 more months of experience doing top level Def Jam Universal marketing campaigns for Kanye West, Rihanna, Justin Bieber (thank god I didn’t clumsily leak What Do You Mean when I planned and executed this campaign for Scooter Braun projects, which they have reused in every major release since -

4 )  , Rick Ross, Alessia Cara, and more, having gotten us through the YouTube Pillars Copyright Strikes, and flagged multiple labels that delivered content from before my time that could have cost us millions in legal fees if I didn’t catch it first, which literally NO ONE (including Bullethead) caught before I did despite being in the system for nearly a decade. I was criticized for sending an “unintelligble” email, which for some reason Niya and everyone else on copy was capable of understanding perfectly. I was blatantly lied to and told Tim Pithouse had “no idea” what my email was about when he asked me for a DJ mix rate on three separate occasions during the artist services mixer, which I DJd free of charge, without thanks or basic acknowledgement from the executives outside of artist services. Not one person responded to that email, nor my email from the day earlier proposing a similar project (that contained no proposals for premieres or unreleased music) with a simple request to clarify what I meant. I was told we can’t focus on “club music” because we have to focus on “Latin music” when half of my proposed setlist is a neoperreo showcase for la vendicion, indicating to me me that my email wasn’t even actually read and I was simply flagged and selected for humiliation for daring to send emails outside of the chain of command. I was criticized for sending an email at 4am when I run a 24/7 support inbox in our highest growth department and have solved crises for our artists and labels in the middle of the night without ever once asking for overtime or to have a later start time or taking a hangover sick day, despite living with insomnia, depression, and IBS. 
5
6Basically I am being criticized for sending emails by people who either did not read, did not understand, and did not want to understand what was said, and who don’t even send emails of their own in the first place. I am being criticized for wanting to do more than my job by people who can’t even ask me for clarity on why without masking it as some sort of concern for my “mental health.” 
7
8I will not work for this company unless there are severe changes to my salary and responsibilities and I receive a sincere and thorough apology for these direct attacks on my judgment and my competence. I still don’t know if that will be enough. I have put in three years of constantly evangelizing this company and our culture and never once complained about my salary, barely above the department of labor minimum to not have to pay me overtime but framed as a “raise,” because I truly loved working here and thought it was a company that rewarded passion, ambition, creativity, and efforts to make the world of indie music a little less white straight and male. However, when a gay man proposes a project intended to highlight the wide world of independent club and experimental music made by non-white people, he’s told he’s off putting. 
9
10Frankly, my DJ project is happening with or without The Orchard. I’m finalizing an in store with Kith already and am very well connected in music and politics and LGBT nightlife. Everything I have done this week has been out of excitement for a potential shared business venture that I believe would bring in a lot of money and differentiate us from the rest of the industry. To be met with not even the most basic level of curiosity or interest but “concern” that I seem too happy or energetic or that I sometimes email outside of the chain of command is ludicrous. For the response to my hurt and offense and literal tears and apologies to continue to be “concern” and treated as though I’m some hormonal teenager is insulting. It is clear that I am not respected or trusted, and I will not return what I do not receive. 
11
12My proposal for a culture manager position at this company is below. It is sorely needed now more than ever. Please let me know if it is “unintelligible” since I apparently lack the communication skills necessary to pitch a project. Also let me know if the idea of encouraging people to interact with each other and discuss music more is too “different.”
13
14I really thought last night’s set today was the start of a new chapter in our relationship. I no longer feel that way, and I am extremely sad. I hope you will attend my shows in the future. I have BCCd most of my friends in the company on this email, but I’m sure I forgot someone:  Feel free to forward this to anyone who asks where I am today. I will not be reachable by phone, email, or chat until Monday, when I will come to work to formally resign.

22EMAIL #2
23I will not be resigning from this job and am on PTO and accrued vacation effective immediately. 
24
25I truly cannot believe I have to tell this to you especially since it is illegal for you to be gossiping about it in the first place:  I have been on Prozac since I was 14. I have not had a recreational drug relapse or stopped taking my prescribed medications since 2013 when I wasn’t even out of college (and who doesn’t have a mental health crisis or drug problem at northeastern university). i have a psychiatrist and a therapist who can and will both testify that the last time I even approached “crisis” was when my cat suddenly died in my arms over a year and a half ago, the first major death I’ve ever dealt with in my life - I am 27 years old - and I shared the pain of that loss with all of you openly!!!  Before that, it was when an executive at Def Jam called me into his office to similarly publicly  ambush and humiliate me for daring to want to work in operations instead of marketing and constantly running interference when he tried to harass women assistants half his age. This prompted me to quit and seek a job in operations at a company with better culture and respect for women which, again, you know because I have shared that pain with you openly and how traumatic that job was for me and repeatedly talked about why I think orchard’s culture is better. 
26
27It is blatant that my mental health would not be called into question either at Def Jam or in this current situation if I played guitar and wore muted colors and promoted dusty music by old straight white people, or if I was a man who doesn’t sometimes cry and say “yay” and act flamboyantly, or even if I just wore explicit shirts that featured prominent metal acts instead of pop and dance artists. I have exhibited no behaviors that are not perfectly normal and professional for the worlds of pop music and nightlife, which I know because I have personally worked on more #1 records than this company has, point blank. 
28
29I am self designated as disabled in our internal HR system and have never received a question about the soundness of my mind before yesterday. I received nothing but green lights on all my “extracurricular” project proposals from across the company until I was suddenly “off putting” and universally disliked (aka specifically disliked or selected for humiliation by Bullethead and Katie Weissman for apparently stepping on their toes in regards to A&R, office popularity, or culture club operations and brand management - I truly cannot begin to guess what led to their truly massive unforced lapse of judgment yesterday, which has irrevocably damaged my perception of both their judgment and the judgment of anyone who would hire them or call them a friend) - which coincidentally just happened to occur after committed the high crime of proposing my own imprint for experimental indie music centering LGBT people, a completely lukewarm business proposal that was specifically requested from me by your own artist services people. 
30
31I have especially never been repeatedly questioned about my mental health and told my behavior is “concerning” and that I need referral to additional counseling resources by people who have already been told this information and by virtue of working in Human Resources and as a high level executive should know this behavior is libelous and illegal. My direct reports, both above and below, can testify that I’ve rarely (never?) even taken a mental health day despite having more than one day when I’ve struggled - I’ve always kept my emotions in check and pulled through for the good of our team and so John and Steven and my interns to feel like they are valued and appreciated - and that my coworkers who don’t report to me are too. The fact that we are going on hour of 24 with absolutely no acknowledgement, or even an attempt from any of my “team members” to check on my supposed “mental health crisis” that you’re so concerned about you feel the need to gossip and establish security protocols is insanity. 
32
33Any prior and ongoing speculation on my mental health, written or verbal, or warnings to our security team that I am a “threat” or “crazy,” whether or not it is in the guise of “concern,” will be documented as ongoing harassment against my disability status, my sexual orientation, and blatant retaliation for hiring and centering non-straight-white-male people (even though John is literally right there and my department is still lily white). I implore you to send over any written record of discussion of my mental health, no matter how well intentioned, before we have to go into discovery. Any attempts to give me counseling or legal recommendations, or to talk to me in any way, that I or my lawyers do not explicitly initiate and ask for myself by name are not wanted and not welcome on any platform or via any method. Please cease and desist immediately and do not attempt to contact me or discuss me in any way shape or form, publicly, privately, or “in confidence” until my lawyers have reached out and begun the proper avenues of communication. Please stick to your precious “chain of command” and “proper channels.”
34
35No one but Michael Vassallo and James are to touch my things, and they will be allowed to bring them to my home on company time as soon as humanly possible. My “work computer” which is still home with me will be unlocked and I will have all of my drives and emails restored so I can build my timeline of employment at this company, with assistance from tech as required. Michael and James will take a full list of every single thing collected from my desk and I + my lawyers will reach out about compensation for anything that is not returned to me or is otherwise damaged.
36
37As before, let me know if anything in this email is “all over the place,” or hard to understand.

44You will specifically note that the things I am being harassed for (wearing bright clothing, occasionally being self indulgent, wanting to perform and promote artists I like) are specific behaviors that the person who bullied and harassed and humiliated me is known for himself, to a significantly more damaging degree to company, artist, and client morale. You will note that I have dressed this way and acted this way for several years and have never had a less than pleasant interaction with Bullethead or really anyone at the company besides brand marketing occasionally being irritated that I go over their head. You will note any times I have asked Nicole or Albina if my dress is too flamboyant, and you will ask everyone if it seems I’ve ever been a fiscally irresponsible person.

You will reiterate that my father is a decorated marine and my mother is a public school teacher, and that my fiancé has written speeches for multiple candidates currently seeking the 2020 DNC nomination for president. You will reiterate that my fiancé has also been discriminated against and has successfully sued the city for being kicked out of a public bathroom for being trans. You will reiterate the importance of single stall bathrooms and accommodations for people who are trans, gender non conforming, or suffer from intestinal diseases, and the importance of not praying into someone else’s medical business. You will emphasize the importance of work life balance, having a healthy culture, and allowing people to be vulnerable. You will emphasize the importance of allowing young people, women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, religious minorities, and all marginalized people to create art and have the support of people who care about their success and want them to succeed. You will specifically name drop orchard distributed artists of my choosing.

49You will find an appropriate press partner for your press release and apology to me that will be approved by me and my team. You will also include your entire proposed package of support for this press release.

55To reiterate, I am of sound mind and body and have absolutely 0 problem continuing to manage my own career and legal defense. I am not acting in anger but in hurt and shock that people I though trusted and respected me are homophobic bullies.

60You will conduct interviews with every single person who attended and organized the artist services showcase on February 6th 2020 and attended or organized the pronoun show that followed work at February 6th 2020, and ask them specifically to recall their recollections of how my DJ set came about and the general reaction to it by artist services, including but not limited to Tim Pithouse’s requests for me to send him a rate sheet. 
61
62You will conduct an independent grammarly evaluation of my emails for the past three years to evaluate my rate of spelling and grammatical mistakes and compare it to the average for the company at large, and especially against brand marketing and the executive team. 
63
64You will perform an analysis on statistically how often I “go outside of the chain of command” or send emails after hours, and compare and contrast this to my department, the executive team, the brand marketing team, the company at large. You will not count any email that I was directed to answer by someone in my chain of command as a “violation” of our strictly enforced 10-6 office hours.
65
66You will thoroughly review every performance report I have ever received and highlight and and all negative feedback. You will prepare a separate report with positive feedback and the timelines of all discussions around my move from video services to rights management, my promotions in rights management, my handling of the pillars project, and feedback from every mixer I ever attended with partners. 
67
68You will interview the entire company, in writing or recorded, about their understanding of my timeline of employment and my reputation, particularly my reputation to be manic or violent.

72You should also begin drafting my apology as a press release to be issued directly to me from Bullethead and Michelle.

79
80If anything at my desk has already been touched (even if just to set it back down) without my permission you will compensate me for the full value of it. 
81
82You will compensate me for any and all emails I answered outside of 10am-6pm during my time of employment and any and all events I have attended, including mixers, panel discussions, culture club events, and more, in addition to my “favorite music of the 2010s” project, any time I have DJed or voluntarily promoted our music on my platforms, or have done anything that falls out of my explicitly written job descriptions.

You will explain that should I book a gig at Kith, or anywhere in Astor Place, including at The Orchard by request of artist services, that I am there for professional reasons only and to do my job and spread love and music as I always have. This email should be sent to me and my legal team (contacts pending) the second you have time to put together a draft. If I have not secured legal representation by the time you draft these statements, you will send them to me exclusively review myself. This is the only response to this email I will even read or reply to.

91This will all by done by noon Monday, preferably sooner. I have already spoken to the New York District Attorney and am waiting on referrals to multiple human rights lawyers for all 3 angles of harassment I received at the hands of our “beloved” executive and head of Human Resources.

104You will apologize for not sooner addressing Bullethead’s known reputation as an abuser and harasser in this industry who specifically ambushes marginalized people he thinks are too meek to fight back. You will specifically apologize for continuing to enable him and allow him to prey on young people. You will specifically address any and all accusations against him that have ever surfaced within the company.
105
106You will fire Bullethead and the entire brand marketing and Human Resources team barring anyone I and an independent counsel exempt, and open discussions to retain me as an independent consultant on company culture. I will report to no one and have complete autonomy. You will employ a crisis company and people who can actually do their jobs in the departments you currently don’t including public relations, company culture, and more. Brad and Colleen will announce immediate plans to step down from their roles and the entire structure of this company will be re evaluated with absolutely no one getting a pass for not caring about their jobs or the people they work with because they’re old and white and have clout.
107
108Again, I am available only for answers to these requests and a draft of a sincere thorough apology addressing every single one of my factual points by noon on Monday.

110___
111
112The legal counsel I have selected will not be available until Monday. I will not communicate any more in any official correspondence with any Orchard emails per their advice. I will continue to operate as an independent artist, professional, and consultant and attempt to book gigs and build my brand while you continue to pay my PTO and vacation as requested and in perpetuity until all of my owed back pay as calculated by any extra work I did for this company has been paid out. A one time lump sum is also acceptable, after approval by accounting and myself. I will continue to only play music I legally have the rights to mix into original content for SoundCloud and other relevant streaming services. I will not tolerate any further attempts to sabotage my name(s) or my character, or any implication that I do not understand music, the law, or how to do my job and conduct myself in a respectable and professional manner for someone who works in music, entertainment, nightlife, activism, and politics. 
113
114My legal counsel also wants everything I have requested by noon Monday. 
115

117
118I'm sorry but I do have to add one more addition as my own legal representative and advocate for my human rights here: Nicole, Albina, Gabriella and everyone else who is “responsible” for me who have failed to even check on me in the actual mental health crisis of losing my job to homophobic bullying will also all immediately step down. Anyone in the chain of command above me who participated in any speculation about my mental health, whether or not it was out of “concern for my safety” will step down immediately for their egregious lack of judgment and completely inability to direct complaints about my job performance through the proper channels and de-escalate a situation that wasn’t even a problem, let alone a crisis to begin with, while criticizing me and my hard working young colleagues day in and day out for doing the work they don’t want to. 
119
120Yesterday morning I came to work ready to pitch my company culture manager position that I received multiple green lights on from Bullethead himself and all of Human Resources and how I can use my growing DJ career (UNIIQU3 and Meaghan Garvey have already co-signed, do you even know who those people are?) to promote OUR music and OUR label partners. I gave a more than reasonable pitch that asked for well below market rate accomodations and completely reasonable requests for a club and nightlife project. This was prefaced as "in a dream world I would want." I was lured into a meeting under false pretenses to be bullied about my mental health and have my reputation and career slandered, when just the day before you all loved me and couldn't stop recommending me to differerent ~professional development programs~. Now in the space of two days I have gone to having to contact the Human Rights Campaign because not a single one of you has the basic bravery or decency to say "hey wow maybe speculating about your mental health publicly, to the company, and to our business partners isn't appropriate."
121
122 And you all have the nerve to pretend you advocate for mental health in any meaningful way. None of you deserve to be employed or to have any power over anyone. 
123
124___
125
126I will also need the entirety of our slack history, including and especially any times Bullethead or Katie Weismann told me to use it less or that I was spamming and annoying people or that it wasn’t known why I used slack and encouraged others to. This should include a full list of reactions received and given by me to either team members, and, again, a comparative analysis of how often I use slack compared to my peers, and how much of what I posted in slack was professional versus personal and community oriented. 
127
128I need a full report on the amount of emails handled by me and then eventually the team I personally managed. This can be consolidated with the projects to analyze how often I And everyone subvert the chain of command.
129
130I need the security and audio footage of the 4th floor stage and farm area for 4PM-6PM for the artist services mixer, and any and all audio or footage of discussions 
131
132I need a full list of everything Bullethead and Katie Weismann have ever said about my sexuality, with dates and time stamps.
133
134I need a full list of who Bullethead and Katie shared their “concerns” about my mental health with, particularly since the start of 2020. Also with dates and time stamps. 
135
136I need any and all audio footage of the pronoun show that show I And my fiancé were in attendance and had a good time mingling.
137
138This is also due to me and my team Monday at noon along with my thorough sincere apology, compensation package, press plan, and immediate implementation of every suggestion in this email thread, and anything else I may have forgotten to mention. I also expect to see at least five (5) ways you can make this right that I haven’t already proposed.
139
140Again, please let me know if anything I have said is not explicitly clear or in any way hard to follow. Please let me know if anything has been perceived as a threat rather than a defense of my mental health against severe repeated gaslighting and blatant disregard for my human rights and work and Love I’ve given all of you for 3 years and 5 months.

You will do the same for Nicole, Albina, Gabriella, and Bullethead for the entirety of their employment. This is due immediately.

You will be compensating me per track on a rate we agree on based on what would have happened if those major partners sued us, and for any and all revenue those labels ever accrued using illegal content. This is also due immediately.

172You will also be compensating me for the full financial value of money earned by Coldplay’s “Yellow,” which I personally flagged that our soundalike asset had poorly merged with. This is also due immediately.

You will cut executive bonuses, benefits, and salaries to achieve this fund before touching any other sources of funding such as manager and coordinator salaries, money intended for our artists, etc.

198+orchard marketing If I do not receive replies to these messages, my requests, and the appropriate drafts for my apology in a timely and immediate manner I will pursue my own press options with my publicist, my team, my legal consultants, and the district attorney of New York effective monday at 1pm, with no further advance notice from us.

200I immediately need to know the identity of who told James, our security guard, at approximately 645PM on Friday the 7th of February that I am crazy, a risk, and not allowed in the building. I will also then need an immediate and categorized list of my statements and actions that were interpreted as violent threats, as well as a list of every time I have been viewed exhibiting violent behavior during the length of my employment. I would also like to know if Bullethead or any of the people in the chain of command between him or me has ever been written up for violent behavior or assault of an employee, and if this was covered up as well. 
201
202I will need a specific account of all damages done by my mixes and self-promotion as prosperity gospel - again, statements from people above me on the chain of command are not acceptable. I need primary sources from actual clients and business partners. 
203
204I will need a complete and thorough list of everything Bullethead (and Katie Weismann) did between our friendly discussion at about 6PM following the artist services mixer and our incident the next morning . Time stamps and rough summaries of every single conversation they had and every single person they spoke to, when, where, and if my mental health was brought up or if I was discussed at all is mandatory. 
205
206I need a complete timeline of every interaction between Tim Pithouse and any other executives or employees between the artist services showcase at about 5PM Thursday and the morning of Friday, as well as any and all meetings he had that afternoon. I need testimonials from every single artist services team member on the events of the past 3 days and their professional relationship with me and my reputation (thankfully this is a project you’re already working on for the entire company so this should be simple enough) 
207
208I need a written statement, collected by you, of Niya and Michael Vassallo’s recollections of my immediate reaction to my ambush and whether I expressed in text or verbally that I was in any way threatening physical violence against my coworkers or our facilities. Similarly you will need to collect Michelle Golden’s recollection of the summary of the meeting I gave her immediately after it happened. 
209
210I need security footage from every single robbery at our office, as I no longer trust that you will not attempt to lie and blame me for those as well. Similarly I would like a time log of my approximate entry and exit of the building every single day since I began working here and, yet again, comparative

213You will immediately adjust all starting salaries at the company to be commensurate with the average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in Bushwick, and all salaries above that to match by scale. You will disclose both to me and publicly exactly how much every executive, manager, and coordinator makes in a public and easily searchable way. You will compensate every employee you have systemically underpaid and undervalued for their off-hours and out-of-job-description work, similarly to the project you are already working on for me. 
214
215You will immediately implement more flexible work from home and maternity leave policies that do not only apply to executives and the handful of employees lucky enough to have their good graces.

222
223You will NOT punish me for laying out my legal, actionable, and simple requests for information related to my wrongful termination and violation of human rights in an "unconventional" email format.
224
225You will not take action against me in any way for refusing to "cover up" this trauma. You will provide a full list of every incident you have ever covered up through methods such as locking the person out of their account and denying them the ability to recover data and construct the timeline of their employment they are legally entitled to in order to protect the reputation of abusers and harassers who you are personally friends with. 
226
227You will provide me with any and all attempts before this incident to flag my mental health through the appropriate channels, such as my direct supervisor, a private meeting in an office that is not on public display, and attempts to reach out to my family, friends, fiance, and other emergency contacts. Given that Michael Vassallo and Katie Weissmann work closely together and Michael and I are known to have been best friends for nearly 2 years, it seems obvious and simple that concerns about my mental health would have been floated by her to him first. As of now, Michael has never told me that Katie or anyone else has some long-running concern about my mental health. 
228
229I would like an audit of every single time someone above me in the chain of command did not reply to one of my emails, especially when relating to bad content that is a legal liability. I would like additional compensation for every single day that higher ups in my chain of command allowed content I flagged to remain in our system as a liability. 
230
231You will get a signed statement from Tim Pithouse confirming that his intention of forwarding my dj proposal to Bullethead was for the purpose of my mental health being discussed in an open and public forum in front of my coworkers. If this was not his intention, you will explain in detail and with citations how the "miscommunication" from Tim to Bullethead happened. 
232
233I would like an approximate count of the exact number of times my fiance has been in the building - I would like you to check the security cameras and any available audio logs for Katie Weissmann and Bullethead leering or mocking him for being trans in any way. 
234
235You will compile a full list of how many emails sent at 4am EST I have answered during my time at this company, as well as the same list for Nicole, Albina, Gabriella, and Bullethead. You will particularly flag any emails that Bullethead, Nicole, Albina, or Gabriella have ever sent me off office hours, and especially any time they have contacted me by hangouts or any other way when I am not supposed to be working. 
236
237You will provide any and all relevant qualifications, certifications, and medical training that Katie Weissmann and Bullethead have to make mental health diagnoses of their employees, especially over that employees own diagnosis of their own mental health  and the diagnosis given by  their medical professionals.
238
239You will provide a thorough and complete timeline explaining how my clearly flagged disability status in our internal human resources was never considered by our Director Of Human Resources throughout this incident. 
240
241You will have Katie Weissmann and Bullethead give a full account of what they "know" about me without checking my resume, social media, or old emails for reference points - memory only. The more specifics about my character, the roles I have at the company, romantic partners, and any incidents of alleged mania and violence they are able to recall, the better.
242
243You will hire a professional writing analyst, a communications specialist, and a psychiatrist to read every single one of my emails from the past 6 months, and to see if they agree with Bullethead and Katie Weissmann that the below email is "unintelligible" "all over the place" and "literally no one can tell what you're talking about" and that there is some pattern of increasing mania in my work for the past 6 months. You will also demonstrate how this alleged mania has hurt my work and our relationships with anyone but Bullethead and Katie Weissmann.

254Finally (for real this time) you will explain to me how we ended up with a a Director of Human Resources and an entire executive team who clearly does not even understand the most basic fundamentals of employment law, disability protections, and how to raise mental health concerns in a professional and safe manner and how NO ONE at the company but me has found this alarming until now. The levels of incompetence and unforced self-sabotage Katie and Bullethead and every single one of you have displayed throughout this incident are truly shocking, particularly when you think all they needed to do was say “oh ok, you’re not manic, I’m sorry, let’s talk about your business proposals” and I would have just had a normal Friday at work. 
255
256You will provide me with a full record of all compliance trainings relating to unconscious bias, mental health, and marginalized people Katie Weismann and Bullethead have ever completed.
257

259Everything I have requested, and anything I request tomorrow, is still due at noon Monday. Anything I have requested “immediately” is already late and will be subpoenaed at my earliest convenience.
