![]() The ongoing flurry of suits and countersuits surrounding the popular dating app company, which has its headquarters in West Hollywood, began in 2018, when Rad and a number of former Tinder executives sued IAC for $2 billion in damages, alleging that the company and Match Group (which also owns Hinge and OkCupid) purposely undervalued the company in an effort to avoid paying out billions in stock options to the original Tinder team. "Sean and his Tinder colleagues will not be bullied or silenced." "IAC and (dating app subsidiary) Match are showing the world the cost of suing them-they will rummage through your personal emails, make up lies, file frivolous lawsuits and do everything else they can to distract from the actual facts," Orin Snyder, the lawyer representing Rad and his co-defendants, said in a statement. ![]() Rad's lawyers also argued that the underlying premise of the countersuit-that IAC can sue for damages equal to how much stock compensation Rad received from the date that he began recording people, because IAC would have fired him had it known what he was doing-is flawed, and that the countersuit amounts to retaliation. "These recordings involve a shocking invasion of privacy and a fundamental lack of honestly and business ethics," IAC's attorneys wrote in Thursday's filing.Īttorneys for Rad responded with a motion to dismiss the amended claim, arguing that the recordings and file transfers did not violate the terms of his employment, though some may have violated California law.
