Brittany Ashley

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Brittany Ashley is an American actor, writer and a comedian.[1][2] She is known for creating lesbian online content and has been identified as a internet celebrity.[3][4][5]

Career[edit]

BuzzFeed Motion Pictures[edit]

Ashley was a full time content creator for BuzzFeed. She was widely recognized for creating lesbian content.[6] She frequently collaborated with BuzzFeed staffer, Chris Reinacher.[7]

While at BuzzFeed, Ashley also wrote the web series You Do You which aired on BuzzFeed Violet and was later sold to iTunes.[8]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.[9] The series follows four women who go through a series of changes (sort of like a queer sitcom).[10][11]

During her career at BuzzFeed, Ashley created numerous videos that went viral.[which?]

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.[12] Specifically, even though both Ashley and Lorenzo worked on the "Gente-Fied" series in their free time,[13] they were not authorized to work with other companies without prior permission (i.e. non-compete clause).[14][15]

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.[16][17][18] 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.[19][20][21] The incident with the firing of Ashley and coworker Jenny Lorenzo has sparked conversations on the need for BuzzFeed staff to unionize.[22]

Freelancing[edit]

Since Reinacher also left BuzzFeed, he and Ashley continue to collaborate on their own individual channels.[7][23] Ashley additionally works side jobs to sustain her career.[24]
