2016: Pero Like and We Are Mitú
In early 2016, Jenny Lorenzo was one of the co-founders for BuzzFeed's Pero Like (originally called BuzzFeed Sol). Lorenzo and Brittany Ashley appeared in small roles for "Gente-fied", a mini-webseries produced by America Ferrera (which later became a Netflix original series in 2020). BuzzFeed Motion Pictures terminated both staff members for violating their contract on July 10, 2016. Even though both Lorenzo and Ashley worked on the Netflix series in their free time, they were not authorized to work with other companies without prior permission.

After Lorenzo's termination, it has sparked conversations on the need for BuzzFeed staff to unionize. It also sparked the trend of "Why I Left BuzzFeed" videos, where people explain why they decided to quit their job at BuzzFeed. Safiya Nygaard, The Try Guys (left BuzzFeed in 2018), and Michelle Khare are known for this. After this event, Lorenzo started producing videos for We Are Mitú.
