Nik Richie
Nik Lamas-Richie (born Hooman Abedi Karamian; February 12, 1979) is an American Internet personality most prominent in the late 2000s and 2010s. Richie is best known as the founder of controversial gossip website TheDirty.com.
Richie was born in Hackensack, New Jersey as Hooman Abedi Karamian to Armenian parents from Iran. Prior to his Internet career, he worked as a credit card processor.
Richie founded the gossip website TheDirty.com in March 2007 as DirtyScottsdale.com while living in Scottsdale, Arizona and started using the pseudonym Nik Richie, as he preferred to stay anonymous. The content on Dirtyscottsdale.com initially focused on derision of Scottsdale's club scene.

Co-founded by Ari Golden, the later and more widely known version, TheDirty.com, allows users to anonymously upload their own "dirt" including news, gossip, accusations, photos, videos, or text, and comment on posts submitted by others.
Richie operated TheDirty.com anonymously until September 4, 2008, when he was arrested for DUI and reckless driving in Scottsdale. Once news of his arrest surfaced, Richie publicly admitted his real identity.
In a March 2019 Instagram post, Richie stated he was no longer associated with TheDirty.com, having 'retired' from the site in April 2018.
In May 2010, Richie's website TheDirty published web posts:
