The chief executive officer and chairman of Home Box Office(HBO), Casey Bloys has admitted to tasking staff with creating a fake Twitter (now X)account to attack TV critics.
It comes after Rolling Stone reported that Casey Bloys created a “secret army” to hit back at negative coverage.
Mr Bloys, however, apologised to the TV critics who were targeted at a press event.
According to him, this was carried out when he was working from home and doing an ‘unhealthy’ surfing around Twitter (now X) which made him frustrated.
Speaking on Thursday at the HBO event, He said that six tweets over an 18-month period was “not very effective” but apologised to those targeted.
“I do apologise to the people who were mentioned in the leaked texts,” he said.
Mr Bloys further stated that he now sends direct messages to journalists to express his feedback.
