The group, which calls itself the Committee for Decency in Journalism, posted purported video and pictures of the blogger on nikkistinks.com under the headline “GOTJA!” — riffing on Finke’s “TOLDJA!” catchphrase.
“For years, you have threatened and bullied the Hollywood community into providing you information so that you could use it to ridicule, abuse and destroy people,” the group writes in an “Open Letter” posted on the site.
“You had an opportunity to be a decent person but instead chose to publicly attack industry people, co-workers and other individuals you did not even know without any regard for their personal lives and careers,” it continues.
The group goes on to list a number of people Finke has taken to task during her days at Deadline Hollywood and more recently NikkiFinke.com, the site she started after falling out with Deadline owner Penske Media.
“You have personally attacked actors and comedians including the late, great Robin Williams of whom you had the audacity to say, ‘Someone get him back on drugs or alcohol or both’,” the group wrote.
There is long list of other Finke zingers directed at everyone from “Girls” creator Lena Dunham (“Are we positive she doesn’t have a Y chromosome”) to former talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey (“the most insufferable hypocrite in Hollywood – and that’s saying a LOT”).
There is also a mocking video of Finke shown leaving her apartment building set to Toni Basil’s 1980s hit “Mickey.”
The group threatened to post more unflattering footage of Finke unless she agrees to mend her ways.
“There is much more to be posted here in the next many months,” the groups warns. “However, what is posted and how much will be determined by your decision on whether or not you continue to hurt people.”
The group also goes to pains to prove that the photos and video are indeed Finke, who hasn’t been caught on film in more than a decade.
As evidence, they include a much earlier headshot of Finke for comparison purposes along with documents — apparently culled from her contract dispute with Penske — showing her current West Hollywood address.
“Right now you are thinking of a thousand ways to deny this is you. But really Nikki…it’s time to come clean,” the group writes. “Like we said, we have been watching you for months. While you were difficult to pin down (in more ways than you can imagine) we did come across some clues that lead us right to you.”
