Johnson told Blogebrity on Tuesday that despite having a “lot of fun” in his most recent stint at Gawker, in the end he and the company “didn’t see eye to eye about [his] role,” but declined to go into further detail. He did, however, promise an announcement about his future plans/personal projects he’s working on an announcement “in the next couple of weeks.”
