Whitney Wolfe, Co-Founder of Tinder

I wrote this post back in July, when the sexual harassment allegations against Tinder CMO Justin Mateen were publicized. Now, as it turns out, Mateen has resigned and Tinder C0-Founder Whitney Wolfe is moving on to pursue new opportunities.

It’s goin’ down. I’m yellin’ Tindeeerrrrrr…

Not like I knew what the fuck Tinder was until a couple of months ago, since I’m happily married and, you know, 31 (fucking ancient). But now the popular dating (*ahem* hook-up) app is in deep doo-doo over allegations that female co-founder Whitney Wolfe was sexually harassed and discriminated against by co-founder Justin Mateen and CEO Sean Rad.

Justin Mateen. Look at this guy. He just oozes douche.

I know everyone’s innocent until proven guilty, but I don’t really give a shit. Here is only a snippet of what this guy allegedly called Wolfe while they were working together (they also dated, but I don’t think that matters):

  • A whore – in front of several co-workers at a company party;
  • A desperate loser who jumps from relationship to relationship;
  • A joke;
  • A gold digger;
  • A disease;
  • A slut who needed to be watched if she were to keep her job.

Wow. And you wonder why she broke up with you?

Check out more of what Mateen said, directly from the complaint Wolfe filed.

What. A. Douche.

I was also interested to learn how Wolfe co-founded the company and what she did to lead it to the success it enjoys today. Wolfe’s efforts deserve a lot more respect than what she has experienced.

Here’s hoping that Wolfe will win the case. But in the meantime, I think she can take comfort in this fact:
