Tucker Max
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tucker Tibor Max (born 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American fratire writer known for chronicling his hedonistic lifestyle and drunken escapades. Along with creating Tuckermax.com and its heavily-moderated forum, he is also writing a sitcom pilot script for Comedy Central[1] Max received a bachelor's degree from University of Chicago and a J.D. from Duke University School of Law. [2] At Duke, he posted an online "date application" that he transferred to Tuckermax.com, leading to a June 2003 appearance in "Sex2K", an episode of MTV's True Life[3]. Later that year, a judge ordered Max to remove from his site a story[4] about an ex-girlfriend who filed an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit,[5] but the case eventually was dismissed after legal fights including the ACLU stepping in on his behalf for First Amendment rights violation.[6] In 2006, radio hosts Opie and Anthony interviewed Max, cast doubt on his stories and later compared him to James Frey.[7]. At the March 2007 SXSW conference, Max said he used numerous e-mail addresses to spam other websites with links to his material in order to increase book sales.[8]
