A mystery smear site popped up on Wednesday, targeting TKO CEO and WME chairman Ari Emanuel. A group dubbed the Hollywood Anti-Genocide Movement launched NoMoreGenocide[.com], which refers to Emanuel as “the censor” and casts the 65-year-old puppet master as overseeing a vast global conspiracy involving Donald Trump, Mohammed bin Salman, Live Nation and TMZ.
Sources tell Page Six Hollywood that the shadowy benefactor behind the site is no random outsider but someone with a long showbiz resume. The person is a passionate proponent of the Palestinian cause and is also Jewish. Emanuel, of course, has more than a few enemies. Embattled mogul Casey Wasserman and high-stakes gambler R.J. Cipriani both come to mind. But neither fits the profile sketched out by our sources.

Zuffa LLC According to the website, the Hollywood Anti-Genocide Movement is composed of “writers, directors, actors, musicians, crew members and audiences who believe that they are bearing witness to the defining moral crisis of our time,” although no one is named.
Earlier this week P6H caught wind of an effort to disrupt a live recording of the “Rushmore Podcast,” which featured Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David in conversation with Emanuel and was part of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest held at the Saban Theater. Sources present at the event tell us they didn’t see much out of the ordinary, but this newly launched website seems to be a continuation of that effort.

One source says the backer is incensed about the way in which Kanye West was cancelled. (In a 2022 Financial Times op-ed Emanuel urged companies to cut ties with the rapper following a series of remarks deemed antisemitic.)

That site took aim at Gamma co-founder and CEO Larry Jackson and also references West. (A source familiar with the investigation into the origins of that website believes Jackson was targeted for his support of West.) It is unclear if NoMoreGenocide[.com] and LarryJacksonExposed[.com] are connected in any way.
A source close to Emanuel says the site is “riddled with inaccuracies.” We did catch one typo: “No Mire Genocide.”
