Nikke Finke Is Back With New Website

Nikke Finke, who revolutionized entertainment reporting with her Deadline.com site is back with NikkiFinke.com around seven months after she left the site she founded in a dispute with its owner.

She has been kept on the sidelines due to a non-compete clause in her contract with Penske Media which had purchased Deadline from her.
Finke's new site launched with her trademark reporting including the box office breakdowns she used to do at Deadline.
The site, which just launched, even broke news reporting on the date DC Comics would release its long-rumored Justice League movie.
The tone of the new site seems a lot like her old one. Finke remains combative and details the ongoing issues she has with Penske.
She wrote on NikkiFinke.com about the dispute:
"Last night my lawyers received a nasty legal letter from Jay Penske (aka Little Lord Fauntleroy) trying to shut down my new website. He also doesn't want me exercising my right to free speech," she said.

"For those not in the know, Penske owns Deadline Hollywood which I founded and ran until our Fall 2013 dust-up. As you know, I dutifully sat out months because of the non-compete.

That ended on April 1st when Penske did not pay the 6-figure sum I was owed. So I was able to start work again on June 2nd."
