They in no way reflect who I am today or my views towards women.Īnd he’s right to be embarrassed, the emails display the worst of the ‘bro’ mentality that continues to contribute to the marginalization of women in Silicon Valley.
I’m sorry I wrote them at the time and I was jerk to have written them. I’m obviously mortified and embarrassed that my idiotic emails during my fraternity days were made public. Spiegel has released this official statement to TechCrunch in response to the leak: Like Zuckerberg with his infamous IM leak, Spiegel was in college when he sent these emails, which describe peeing on women, doing blow, drinking underage, getting his friends laid by wasted “sororisluts”, and shooting lasers at “fat chicks.” The emails are disturbing, in content as well as spelling and grammar, and wear away what little hope is left for the younger generation. You can see the whole swath of leaked emails at ValleyWag, but I can summarize them all pretty easily for you with the above paragraph. Now, after reading emails sent by Evan Spiegel during his undergrad time at Stanford, I clearly understand what my instincts were telling me. And try as I might, I’ve had a hard time liking him. We have had more than half a dozen in-person conversations, far more phone calls, and even shared twenty minutes together on stage at Disrupt SF. I’ve known Evan Spiegel, Snapchat CEO and co-founder, for a while now.
