Seriously @annie_goldsmith? Your puff piece about Taylor Lorenz (where you oddly put a photo of me next to political public figures) has no mention of the lawsuit against Lorenz or WHY she was sued. It also mischaracterizes why people criticize her & her own attacks on women.🧵

I had to sign up for @theinformation and pay $39 to a publication I’ll never read just to see why my photo was associated to Taylor Lorenz in your article. And to my surprise- no mention of me, the claims in the lawsuit or why I went on Tucker Carlson. 🧵 Let me help you out…

“She [Taylor Lorenz] just keeps putting out bangers.” @oneunderscore__ Ben Collins NBC.

Ben - Did you know she wrote a “banger” about me full of lies basically inferring that I spied on kids, stole from them and leaked their nudes? All FALSE ideas that can be proven in court?

Is she really a “scoop machine” @malitzd - or does she have powerful friends in elite circles?

She “broke” the story that launched Charli D’Amelio into super stardom & then D’Amelio signed to the same talent agency as Lorenz, UTA. Lorenz then wrote a separate puff piece on UTA.

Is Taylor Lorenz a “scoop machine” or did she encourage teenagers to obtain potentially illegally recorded conversations with the White House and TikTokers for her story that SNL mocked?

Is Taylor Lorenz a “scoop machine” or is she just “buddies” with @wiczipedia? Nina was a Biden appointed govn’t board leader (a powerful position) who has supported Lorenz publicly even when Lorenz was caught lying about Clubhouse investor Marc Andreesen. 🧵

Really @annie_goldsmith? Since you failed to mention even one 💩 storm Taylor Lorenz created for herself, let me refresh your reader’s memory:

Oh @annie_goldsmith - I bet you were so interested in your subject Taylor Lorenz that you watched all 78 minutes of this well-researched video pointing out all of Lorenz’s lies (produced btw by a liberal leaning journalist) @BostWiki -

So @annie_goldsmith @theinformation - you cover all the press Taylor Lorenz did in @VanityFair @thehill @NYMag - but you don’t mention her press tour came AFTER she was sued for libel - exposing the NYT to a serious problem.

Did you ever consider that maybe NYT told her to STFU?

Taylor Lorenz tells @VanityFair that she “kind of hit a ceiling” at NYT & hoped the paper would “hopefully, you know, evolve in their ways.”

🧐 I would assume 4 a journalist - getting sued for LIBEL by a non-political minority woman would be a career LOW. Great spin though.

Here’s the part that really gets me @annie_goldsmith … You bring up Taylor Lorenz’s conservative critics - but you don’t point out her powerful allies: @VanityFair @BusinessInsider @wiczipedia @kattenbarge @brianstelter @sarahfrier @unitedtalent @TheAtlantic @thedailybeast

Putting me next to Taylor Lorenz critics like Tucker Carlson @annie_goldsmith - did u consider how many Lorenz lovers like u disregarded my story? Did u consider my career that was demolished by lies? Or did you want to paint me as a right wing nut who attacks an innocent journo?

Let me be clear: MY CASE IS NOT POLITICAL. Taylor Lorenz lied & wrote a hit piece that killed my American dream presumably for click bait & to maliciously please her talent agency who wanted my clients & likely wanted my reputation destroyed. I went on Tucker so I could be heard.

If people care abt #JusticeForJohnnyDepp after watching how lies can destroy a person’s CHARACTER & the life shattering mess that ensues - I hope they consider what Taylor Lorenz did to me. She has been called the Amber Heard of journalism. See 4 yourself bit.ly/3NIxJuc

The founding editor of Gawker (a media co. forced shut down after losing a defamation lawsuit funded by tech VC @peterthiel) tells @annie_goldsmith that she thinks Taylor Lorenz is a vulnerable target of @pmarca & @balajis bc she’s a woman. No - Lorenz literally got caught lying.

Here’s the scariest part of @annie_goldsmith’s hagiography of Taylor Lorenz - she mentions all the young journos who dream of becoming just like Taylor. Imagine if all little girls with acting ambitions wanted to be Amber Heard. Are we creating a culture for professional victims?

Think: If 86% of young Americans aspire to be influencers - and if Taylor Lorenz holds the key to make or break their careers - she doesn’t just have power thru her MSM allies but she’s also grooming influencers w hundreds of millions of followers to follow her narrative or else.

Taylor Lorenz’s lack of accuracy & ethics caused the public vitriol towards her.

While mean tweets suck, I promise it sucks much worse to have an empty bank account and a legacy tarnished by Lorenz’s lies.

I barely survived. I won’t be silenced. #JusticeForTaylorLorenzVictims

The end. 🧵

BTW this isn’t just some obscure piece praising Taylor Lorenz by @theinformation @annie_goldsmith - it gets amplified by @washingtonpost with its own link: washingtonpost.com/pr/2022/05/27/…
