BuzzFeed News fired its White House correspondent following accusations of workplace sexual harassment.

Adrian Carrasquillo was let go on Wednesday after an internal investigation uncovered allegations that he'd made inappropriate comments to a colleague on at least one occasion, according to Business Insider.

'We take these issues extremely seriously,' the spokesperson told the outlet.

'We're committed to ensuring that BuzzFeed remains a place where everyone is treated respectfully by his or her peers.'

The decision to fire him came after a new complaint was filed that had evidence of inappropriate comments he sent to a coworker

BuzzFeed started looking into several staffers last month when their names popped up on the Google spreadsheet 'Sh***y Media Men' being passed around media circles.

The spreadsheet contains lists of unverified allegations against men in media or publishing.

Among those listed was Carrasquillo.

The decision to fire him came after a new complaint was filed that had evidence of inappropriate comments he sent to a coworker.

'In responding to a complaint filed last week by an employee, we learned that Adrian violated our Code of Conduct by sending inappropriate message to a colleague,' the spokesperson told Business Insider. It's not clear if he sent those 'inappropriate messages' over text, email or another form of messenger.

The spokesperson also said Carrasquillo had already been warned about 'inappropriate communications.'

A source who has known Carrasquillo socially and has been at multiple social media-related work events with him over the past decade told DailyMail.com that she is not surprised by the new allegations.

'Adrian Carasquillo has climbed the media ranks while using his accomplishments to try and charm women along the way,' the source explained.

'It comes as no surprise that he made it onto a list titled, Sh***y Media Men. Don't get me wrong, he never had to do very much with most women because they were impressed.

'But having a professional member of the media trying to sleep with colleagues is highly unprofessional.

'It is about time that men like Carasquillo are stopped and made to suffer consequences. Hopefully he still has a career he can revive after he learns some pretty serious lessons.'

The source also said that she has been a victim of his 'grossness,' and that he'd been 'gross around me with others.'

'In our culture, men acting that way is acceptable. So women have either fallen for it, or they roll their eyes at his type of behavior,' she said.

'I just told another colleague who knows him and none of us are surprised. Well, a little that it took this long.'

A spokesperson for Buzzfeed said Carrasquillo had already been warned about 'inappropriate communications' before the complaint was filed

The existence of the 'Sh***y Media Men' list was first reported by BuzzFeed - and came in the wake of a the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal, which opened the flood gates on accusations against men in power.

The list contains anonymous allegations of verbal, physical and sexual abuse that the author advised 'should be taken with a grain of salt.'

It also helped start the conversation about sexual harassment in the digital media industry, leading to the departure of staffers at several new media outlets.

The former editorial director at Vox, Lockhart Steele, was fired in October after he was accused of sexual harassment.

Several other Vox employees have also left the company due to similar allegations.

Glenn Thrush, the New York Times White House correspondent, was also accused of sexual harassment and inappropriate sexual conduct in the workplace. He still has his job.

Carrasquillo has not addressed losing his job and hasn't yet returned Business Insider's request for comment.

BuzzFeed still has Carrasquillo named in their list of reporters on the company website.
