LOS ANGELES TIMES - Oct 3 - In August, Rosette Pambakian, a former VP at Tinder, filed a lawsuit alleging that Greg Blatt, the onetime CEO of Tinder and its parent companies Match Group and IAC, sexually harassed and assaulted her at a company Christmas party in 2016. On Thursday, Blatt filed a defamation suit against her, and against Tinder's co-founder and former CEO Sean Rad, alleging that the sexual battery accusations are part of a smear campaign designed to give Rad and Pambakian leverage in a separate multibillion-dollar legal battle over the value of Tinder stock. A spokeswoman for Match Group said neither the company nor its parent is a party to Blatt's suit.
