    Some of you may remember an anonymous twitter account from 2017 that allegedly belonged to an RTE employee who was dishing the dirt on the organisation from the inside. Made for a fascinating read. Many of us always suspected that RTE was a sh!tshow rife with nepotism and incompetence but it was still a shock to see it explicitly confirmed.


    The account is now deleted. What happened? Did the poster compromise their anonymity or did they say something they shouldn't have?

    Nearly as good as The Gym Whisperer, who was dishing the dirt on the irish 'fit fam'.

    People realised they were just regurgitating things that everyone who gave a damn already knew?

    Was this an actual account? Most have been tons of skeletons in those closets!

    Secret Blogger was another, they did some great work.

    It was an instagram account but I think someone regged as that username here. Can't remember if they posted anything on boards.

    You are not big in the irish fitness scene unless who know who 'they' really were.

    Good question OP, the last I had heard was that RTE management were scrambling to find out who it was. By that I took it to mean there was a private investigator put to work. Not sure if he was ever caught or just gave up as the heat was too much for him. He definitely gave some good insight into RTE and much of what he said tallied with things I know from other employees in there.
