Troubled Defy Media, which owns the digital brands Smosh and Clever, said it is shutting down its Beverly Hills, Calif., production office and laying off 80 people by Jan. 2, 2019.

Calls to its New York headquarters were greeted with the recording, “The Google subscriber you are trying to reach is not available.”

The company has been shedding assets and laying off staff, which numbered 400 employees at its peak. Earlier this year, it sold its pop culture site Screen Junkies, which counted 8 million YouTube customers, to Fandom, owned by Wiki Inc. And Defy’s video gaming site Escapist was sold to Enthusiast Gaming.

News of the LA shutdown was first reported by the website Tubefilter.

Defy Media has also had legal problems. Prompted by a sexual harassment complaint, the company fired Screen Junkies founder Andy Signore in October 2017 for what the company said at the time was “egregious and intolerable behavior.”

Signore denied the claims of harassment leveled by a former intern and filed a lawsuit in August over “negligent infliction of emotional distress” and claimed that Defy terminated his participation in the partnership without giving him a chance to counter the allegations.

Defy Media CEO Matt Diamond did not return a message via LinkedIn seeking comment on Tuesday’s developments.
