Consider that Bumble was started by Whitney Wolfe Herd, after she left the company she co-founded, Tinder. Tinder of course was acquired by Match Group, and went public in November of 2015.
The Tinder CEO at the time was, uh, unfamiliar with how quiet periods are supposed to work in IPOs, and, I want to say interviews in general. As such Match had to amend their S-1, filing a free-writing prospectus, to include this absolute dumpster fire of an interview given during the quiet period. If you're having a tough morning, at least remember that you're not responsible for the only instance of the word "sodomy" on the SEC website. [1]

I can't imagine why Whitney left Tinder lol.On that note, a big congrats to Whitney, huge step for a great company!
