As The Daily Wire\u2019s Charlotte Pence Bond <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hollywood-foreign-press-association-accused-of-ethical-violations-ahead-of-golden-globes\">reported<\/a> in late February, the HFPA faced allegations that it provided payments to its own members that could violate IRS guidelines. An investigation by The Los Angeles Times found \u201cthat the nonprofit HFPA regularly issues substantial payments to its own members in ways that some experts say could run afoul of Internal Revenue Service guidelines. HFPA members collected nearly $2 million in payments from the group in its fiscal year ending in June 2020 for serving on various committees and performing other tasks \u2014 more than double the level three years earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The HFPA denied the allegations, telling the Times, \u201cNone of these allegations has ever been proven in court or in any investigation, [and they] simply repeat old tropes about the HFPA and reflect unconscious bias against the HFPA\u2019s diverse membership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The main problem with the HFPA, however, has become the revelation that it didn\u2019t have even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/golden-globe-committee-under-fire-for-lack-of-diversity\">a single black member<\/a>. The Los Angeles Times\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/business\/story\/2021-02-27\/hfpa-fallout-black-golden-globes-voters-hollywood\">investigated<\/a>\u00a0the HFPA and published emails from members discussing the lack of diversity. Previously, HFPA President Theo Kingma\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/movies\/story\/2021-02-26\/golden-globes-diversity-times-up\">told<\/a>\u00a0the Times that the organization was working to change its voting body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is something that we should give a serious look at; times have changed, but sadly our bylaws don\u2019t change as quickly,\u201d he told the outlet Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>That interview irked some other HFPA members, including Dierk Sindermann, who represents Austria, Germany, and Switzerland in the committee. Sindermann wrote an email to Kingma decrying his interview, writing, \u201cMaybe I misunderstood you as the HFPA counsel but to my recollection you urged members not to comment publicly on internal affairs. Does this rule not apply any more?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his interview with the Times last week, Kingma said that the black woman who was denied a place in the HFPA in 2013, British-based Samantha Ofole-Prince, was denied a place because \u201cshe didn\u2019t fulfill the [bylaws] requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sindermann wrote in his email that Ofole-Prince was rejected by the HFPA because she didn\u2019t have \u201csufficient votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The controversy has led to significant fallout for the embattled organization. Last week Netflix announced that it would not work with the HFPA until it made \u201cmore meaningful changes,\u201d The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/netflix-tells-golden-globes-committee-it-wont-work-with-them-until-meaningful-changes-are-made\">reported<\/a>. On Monday, NBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nbc-wont-air-golden-globes-due-to-hfpas-diversity-and-ethical-reforms\">announced<\/a> it wouldn\u2019t air the awards ceremony until the organization fixed its problems.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
