Not true at all. Pete is a POS but Oliver left because Pete refused to let him have the day off when his parents were visiting from the UK and then proceeded to berate him in front of the other staff just before they went live on a Dis Unplugged show. That night Oliver resigned.
Sorry the post above was in response to why Oliver left. Not Drake. As far as Drake, I'm certain Pete tried to buy him and when Drake didn't allow it like the others do Pete cancelles him because that's what Pete does. Pete likes to find young straight boys and take them on trips and buy them things and pretend like they are dating in his head. Drake probably didn't go for it. Good for him!
Here's the deal with Sean. Sean was someone Pete used to "hire". Then they started dating. Then Sean got back with his old BF and Pete wanted to fire him from the Dis but others stepped in and said that would open them up to a lawsuit and so they gave him a job with Dreams. That's why he was an agent
Jafar is 100% correct. Honestly, I created an account just for this thread and I’m keeping myself anonymous. So I probably won’t be answering many questions.
Although he likes to keep it a secret, I’ll put it into Craig Williams’ own words: Pete is a tragic human being.
Pete wants so badly to create connections yet he is his own worst enemy because he can’t be kind to anyone. He makes friends by buying things for them to make up for his atrocious personality. For all of you saying that you enjoy Pete’s attitude, know you are defending a legit abuser. He’s not only an abusive boss, he’s also an abusive friend, and lover. And Jafar put it kindly, Sean is a literal prostitute who Pete found on a website and pays to stick around. If the gifts and money stop? So does Sean.
On a regular basis I had discussions with many of the crew members saying they wanted to quit, hated Pete, were tired of pretending they were happy. It’s a sad place to be. Ryno has been saying for years he’s done but he sticks around because he can’t find anything else to do
And it doesn’t stop with Pete, many of the older guard are honestly not good people. Ryno, Craig, John, Kevin. They do this because this is their best option in life. I’ve seen them all talk
tit about fans or worse yet, try to use them for connections.
When Steve Porter was still with the company, Pete would tell me he was like a son to him… then moments later he would tell me how badly he wanted to have sexual relations with him. He’s a sick sick man.
i have so many horror stories of how people have been mistreated not just by Pete, but also by the rest of the crew when they realize their paycheck comes from this monster. Unfortunately, that’s what I feel comfortable sharing so I’ll end with this: Supporting The DIS means you’re supporting an abusive work environment.
