| 15 | Lana | Bourdain | f | Ashley was a full-time content creator for BuzzFeed. She was widely recognized for creating lesbian content. She frequently collaborated with BuzzFeed staffer, Chris Reinacher. While at BuzzFeed, Ashley also wrote the web series You Do You which aired on BuzzFeed Violet and was later sold to iTunes. The series hit the number 1 slot on Apple's top chart after its release meaning it beat out HBO's “Silicon Valley” season 2, TBS's “Angie Tribeca” season 1 and CBS's “The Big Bang Theory” season 9. The series follows four women who go through a series of changes (sort of like a queer sitcom). During her career at BuzzFeed, Ashley created numerous videos that went viral. After Ashley and Jenny Lorenzo appeared in small roles on “Gente-Fied,” a web series produced by America Ferrera, Buzzfeed terminated both staff members for violating their contract on July 10, 2016. Specifically, even though both Ashley and Lorenzo worked on the "Gente-Fied" series in their free time, they were not authorized to work with other companies without prior permission (i.e. non-compete clause). Due, in part, to Ashley's large fanbase, her dismissal from BuzzFeed also surfaced a number of critiques of the organization and the way it takes advantage of young artists by owning all the creative rights to their work. BuzzFeed pays their employees a standard rate and as such, writers, actors and performers do not receive residual payments when their work is viewed/goes viral. The incident with the firing of Ashley and coworker Jenny Lorenzo has sparked conversations on the need for BuzzFeed staff to unionize. Since Reinacher also left BuzzFeed, he and Ashley continue to collaborate on their own individual channels. | Ashley resides in California.
