In June 2014, Tinder co-founder and former VP Marketing Whitney Wolfe filed suit against the company, detailing an extensive history of sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination. As well, in November 2013, Tinder CMO Justin Mateen and CEO Sean Rad removed Wolfe's co-founder title, saying that having a "girl founder" "devalues" Tinder and "makes the company seem like a joke". They appear to gone to considerable lengths to erase Wolfe's contributions and presence from the company.
