BLM leader Patrisse Cullors secretly dumped from Warner Bros TV deal

[NY Post] Warner Bros Television Group secretly ended a multi-platform deal with Patrisse Cullors, the former leader of Black Lives Matter, The Post has learned.

The Post can reveal no shows were produced under the deal, despite Cullors saying she planned dramas, comedies, documentary series and animated programming for children.

"The studio signed an overall deal with BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors at some point in 2020," said a source familiar with the studio’s contract negotiations Friday.

"Deal expired at end of October 2022.

"The deal unfortunately did not result in any produced shows."

The multi-year agreement was to develop and produce original programming to include black stories across streaming, cable and broadcast platforms.

It encompassed animated and children’s content as well as scripted and unscripted series, according to Variety, which reported on the deal in October 2020.

The agreement was meant to draw on Cullors’ experience as a leader of the movement which started in the courtyard of her Los Angeles home in 2013, according to a statement from the studio at the time.

The value of the deal was not disclosed at the time, Variety reported.

A spokeswoman for Warner Bros, now part of Warner Bros. Discovery, declined comment Friday.

Cullors did not respond to requests for comment.

The end of her contract in October 2022 was in stark contrast to an interview she gave to The Hollywood Reporter in January of that year.

#2 She'll do OK. She has $90 million from the BLM charity to milk, plus the mansions.

Proof that a "sunset everything" policy is wise.

Gosh. Are you surprised, because I'm totally surprised. Just, shocked.

#6 I am suspicious that you never see Patrice Cullors and Magic Johnson in the same picture.

#8 But shame on Warner Bros. for hiring this slob in the first place.

Which was never the purpose to begin with. This was protection money, pure and simple. BLM learned well from the Mafia.

#11 Follow the money Only 33% of BLM’s $90M in donations helped charitable foundations while supporters, friends were enriched

#12 33% sounds bad, but there are big mainline charities out there that have been caught out doing worse in the past.

Doesn't change the fact that BLM is a straight-up grift.

#14 100% participation was important to our command so my chief coined the fundraising slogan, “Give a buck; don’t give an F…” For our division. He would then donate a tenner to cover all the dissenters and we won’t have to discuss the intimidating shakedown at morning quarters again for a year.

#15 Yeah, I worked at a place where it was "suggested" everyone support the United Way campaign. I was long gone by the time the Aramony scandal hit, but I smirked all the same wondering how management at my former employer was handling that, given it was a "news organization."
