    Linus was on location for some trade show or event a few years ago, and was in contact with a female creator to possibly do a collab. Linus had a very tight schedule and didn’t have time to travel anywhere, so someone at LMG asked if she would meet him at his hotel. No one thought about the implication of asking a woman to come to their hotel, and she indeed took it that way and was upset.

      No, this person was asked to meet Linus specifically at the hotel lobby. Meeting someone at a hotel lobby is normal and doesn’t imply anything. A hotel room would be very different. But the hotel lobby is a normal place for people to meet and chat.
