Gawker Media was a communication group that focused a large part of its activity on publish gossip and intimacies of celebrities, in addition to managing websites such as Kotaku, Gizmodo or Deadspin. The beginning of the end for Gawker Media began when he leaked a video of Hulk Hogan having sex with a friend's wife.
Hul Hogan sued this medium and was sentenced to pay more than 120 million dollars, which forced the media to declare bankruptcy and sell the websites they managed to be able to face the payment. At the beginning of the year, some rumors suggested that Apple might be interested in creating a series about this company.
However, as we can read in AppleInsider, as soon as the idea came out, Tim Cook flatly dismissed it. As I have said, Gawker Media is dedicated to publishing celebrities' intimacies. Years before Cook announced his sexual orientation, this outlet repeatedly suggested that Apple's chief executive was gay.
Also, if you know the trajectory of the iPhone, you will remember as the medium Gizmodo got hold of an iPhone 4 test unit, a unit that a Cupertino employee had left in a bar forcing Steve Jobs himself to request that the publisher who owned it return it to the company.
With all this history, it's no wonder Tim Cook has steadfastly refused to create a series about this media group that ended up being sold to various media. Both Gizmodo and Kotaku were bought by Univision in 2016.
However, it seems that it won't be the end of the projectSince the project to bring the short life of Gawker media to the small screen is on the market, so it is likely that in the future it will arrive in series format, although not through Apple TV +.
