Gurbaksh Chahal, CEO and founder of RadiumOne, with two V2 vodka girls at bachelor party.
Condé Nast, whose British division signed a deal to use RadiumOne's programmatic advertising services earlier this month, now says it is reviewing its association with the company.
Here's Condé Nast's complete response to an e-mail we sent asking about the status of its relationship with RadiumOne:
"Condé Nast is not and has never been an investor in or partner of RadiumOne. Our Britain division has a vendor relationship for sales software with the company, as do many other UK-based media companies. We do not condone abusive behavior and the UK company is reviewing its association."
According to a story from The Examiner's Mike Aldax published in August, security camera footage caught Chahal hitting and kicking his girlfriend 117 times over a half-hour period.
The complaint against Chahal filed last August, obtained by Business Insider, listed 45 felony counts and two misdemeanors that accused Chahal of the following actions:
- Hitting Kakish repeatedly in the head
- Assaulting her with a pillow
- Dragging her from the bed to the floor
- Covering her mouth with his hand to obstruct her breathing
- Hitting her in the lower body approximately 15 times
- Hitting her in the head while holding his other hand over her mouth
- Threatening to kill her
- Confining her to a bed by force and fear
Chalal denied the allegations Thursday night in a series of tweets that have since been deleted.
"For the last 10 months there were overblown allegations against me because of my alleged high-profile status," he wrote. "I got cornered to accept a misdemeanor plea with a $500 fine to resolve the matter and move on with my life."
We have reached out to Chalal and RadiumOne for comment, and are awaiting their response.
