BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors is quietly Dumped From Warner Bros after her multi-platform TV deal to create original shows telling black stories Produced ZERO Content after two years
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has been quietly let go from her Warner Bros TV deal after producing no content.
Cullors, 39, signed the deal with the media giant in 2020 to much fanfare but it ended in secret in October 2022, it emerged on Friday.
'The deal, unfortunately, did not result in any produced shows,' a source told the
New York Post.
The value of the deal was not disclosed.
The BLM activist posted a message on Instagram just days ago accusing the media of 'lying' about her.
Cullors, 39, was expected to produce shows across the company's multiple revenue streams, including animated, children's content, scripted and unscripted shows.
Now,
Black Lives Matter's national organization is at risk of going bankrupt after its finances plunged $8.5million into the red last year - while simultaneously handing multiple staff seven-figure salaries.
Yet, despite the financial controversy and scrutiny, BLM GNF continued to hire relatives of Cullors, and several board members.
Cullors' brother, Paul Cullors, set up two companies which were paid $1.6million providing 'professional security services' for Black Lives Matter in 2022.
Paul was also one of BLM's only two paid employees during the year, collecting a $126,000 salary as 'head of security' on top of his consulting fees. He is best known as a graffiti artist, with no background in security.
For the previous year, 2021, tax filings revealed that BLM paid a company owned by Damon Turner, the father of Cullors' child, nearly $970,000 to help 'produce live events' and provide other 'creative services.'
'While Patrisse Cullors was forced to resign due to charges of using BLM's funds for her personal use, it looks like she's still keeping it all in the family,' said Paul Kamenar, an attorney for the National Legal and Policy Center watchdog group.
