The NikkiStink.com site may be down, but the newest Tinseltown parlor game is to get the skinny on whoodunnit?
The problem is there are too many suspects, as Tatiana Siegel of The Hollywood Reporter tweeted:
The same basic sentiment was tweeted anonymously by THE STUDIO EXEC. After claiming membership in The Committee for Decency in Journalism — the entity taking credit for NikkiStink.com — he declared: "WE ARE LEGION."
A more thoughtful insider made the distinction between professionally hurtful and personally hurtful. The takedown of Finke was clearly the latter, focusing, as it did, on her appearance.
"If someone wanted to hurt her professionally," the insider said, "they would have denigrated her sources and exposed inaccuracies in her reports."
Ironically, the person most recently at loggerheads with Finke — her former employer Jay Penske, who bought her Deadline Hollywood blog in 2009 — is least likely to be guilty.
Since he's in arbitration proceedings with Finke, any hint that Penske was behind the parody site or a part of its creation would blow his chances of obtaining a reasonable settlement.
As one source put it: "You know what's going to be the first question Finke's lawyer asks the next time they meet? Did you do this?"
Other Columbo wannabes surmised the trail leads to those with the most to gain from Finke's comeuppance.
By this criterion, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and The Wrap are the majors competing with NikkeFinke.com for readers and ad dollars all qualify.
Most out there of all, though, is the theory that Nikki Finke created NikkiStink.com.
After all — the theory goes — she's got a book coming out and the attendant book tour would have physically outed her anyway. So why not fire up the PR machinery a bit early?
Another clue comes courtesy of Kevin Beaumont, who tweeted: "If it's of any interest … NikkiStink.com had a single author — 'Nick.' "
Then, finally, there's the widely shared notion that NikkiStink.com achieved the impossible by making Nikki Finke a sympathetic character.
