What a Creep
Season 22, Episode 6
TMZ
Just in case you don’t know what TMZ is: It’s a tabloid news organization. They have a website, a TV show, and a webcast.
It’s known for breaking celebrity gossip like Mel Gibson’s antisemitic rant during his drunk-driving arrest, the death of Heath Ledger, all the stories about Britney Spears, detailing every little thing about Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan back in the day, and the death of Michael Jackson.
The biggest story that TMZ refuses to cover is that they’re a garbage gossip site with a history of misogyny, harassment, racism, and abuse toward the celebrities they cover and their own employees.
