Evidence

Murray the K, whose involvement with the project was not yet known, would later tell the Times that Warhol had “wanted to come in with his films, but I said, ‘My God I can’t have these movies of guys with whips and this whole fetish thing.’ So he [Warhol] took our idea and opened his own place”—which is roughly what happened. — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 834
