Madison Square Garden reportedly kept an internal database of celebrities and VIPs that included labels for sexuality, racial identity and “risk” levels.
According to a new report by Wired, the New York City venue’s “talent” database included 39,539 entries, spanning musicians, actors, politicians, athletes, business figures and other high-profile guests.
The documents were reportedly published last month by the criminal hacker collective ShinyHunters, and Wired reports that 93 people in the database were marked as “LGBTQIA”, including Phoebe Bridgers, Ricky Martin and Geese guitarist Emily Green. The report also claims that some celebrities’ race and gender identity were noted in the database, although not consistently across entries.
Roughly 400 celebrities were also reportedly assigned a “risk” score. Freddie Gibbs, Lil Jon, DaBaby and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie were said to be among those labelled “high risk”, while Morgan Wallen, Lily Allen and Jadakiss were reportedly marked “medium risk”. Ice Spice, Selena Gomez and Benson Boone were among those said to be listed as “low risk”.
