A planned relaunch of snarky news and gossip website Gawker is on hold indefinitely, The Post has learned.

Bustle Digital Group, which owns Gawker, laid off the website’s entire staff Tuesday and called off its planned September relaunch, the company has confirmed.

“We can confirm that we are postponing the Gawker launch,” a BDG spokesperson said. “For now, we are focusing company resources and efforts on our most recent acquisitions, Mic, The Outline, Nylon and Inverse.”

The site’s axed staff included editor-in-chief Dan Peres, editorial director Carson Griffith, writer Nate Hopper and sales exec Amanda Hale.

BDG chief executive Bryan Goldberg said he plans to relaunch the site at a later, unspecified date.

“It’s no secret that we have faced a number of challenges from the start,” Goldberg said. “We want to thank Dan Peres and the rest of the Gawker team who have worked tirelessly on this project. We’ve made a number of acquisitions over the last year and intend to focus our efforts on those brands.”

According to insiders, attracting talent has been difficult.

Earlier this year, Gawker’s only two reporters quit ahead of a planned January relaunch. The staffers complained that Griffith had made offensive comments in the office about everything from poor people to black writers to an acquaintance’s penis size.

A series of old tweets by Griffith were dug up by the media and showed the editor using gay slurs and racial stereotypes about Asians, among other things. The company launched an investigation, which cleared Griffith, but her continuing role at the company irked staffers, according to sources.

In June, Ben Barna, an editor from Interview, joined Gawker and left after only five months.

“Needless to say, I’m disappointed, but I understand that this is a business and sometimes difficult decisions need to be made,” Peres, former editor-in-chief of Details, who was recruited in March, told The Post. “I’m grateful to all of the writers, editors and designers who dove into this exciting challenge with me.”

A rep said Goldberg plans to circulate a memo to BDG employees Wednesday morning.

The gossip blog founded by Nick Denton fell into bankruptcy after parent company Gawker Media lost a legal battle against wrestler Hulk Hogan over its publication of a sex tape.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, sued the company for invasion of privacy in 2012 — and a Florida judge awarded him $140 million in 2016.

Goldberg picked up the beleaguered Gawker in a bankruptcy auction last June for $1.35 million — despite warnings that it was a toxic asset.
