Richard Spencer says August 29, 2018 on JF Gariepy’s show: “Greg Conte’s not the person spreading this rumor. The origin of this whole thing is a basic misunderstanding and Greg and my growing apart the past three months.”
I believe that Richard and Greg had been fighting for months. They were staying together for a few weeks. On the night in question, Richard’s GF and Greg’s GF were drunk in their room. Richard brought them water. He was holding his GF’s head when Greg walked in and had a “Why the fuck are you in here alone with the girls?” moment. There was no threesome. This moment was just an excuse for Greg to completely distance himself from Richard and to damage Richard in the most severe way possible by destroying his credibility and honorable reputation.
I’m told by a knowledgeable source: “No hotel room. AirBnB entire house. And the fallout didn’t begin there, it simply ended there. Richard was in the process of leaving Alexandria, so…at Greg’s a lot. They fought nonstop. Their stupid fights over food and editing are much more humiliating. That night at the AirBnB was just the final fight, really. I think they’d been in too close of quarters for too long. The movement had a lot of blurry lines between ‘friend’ and ’employee.’ It made it so difficult to outline responsibilities and roles. Often when Greg wanted support as a friend Richard was in need of support from an employee. It was like a family business. Same complications. Richard is a dreadful manager. I don’t think he knows what goes into cultivating a work environment or ideal employee. He hates minutiae. But so did everyone around him. Everyone wanted to be a thought leader or podcaster. Nobody wanted to balance that checkbook… Most of the fights had all those issues orbiting around. I can see why Greg wanted an out and took it. It was endless… Meanwhile, this is what Richard gets for being the waterboy.”
According to the same people who claimed Richard was sleeping with the girlfriends of his followers, Richard sleeps with many of young female journalists covering him including lady journalists at Buzzfeed, The Daily Beast, The Atlantic and one Alt Lite lady streamer the night of the Charlottesville debacle (from Matt Forney’s description this week, it sounds like Faith Goldy).
In various selfies posted online, Richard appeared chummy with female journos such as Julia Ioffe and Rosa Gray. I do not know about the extent of their relationships.
