(Many of her tweets have been deleted, but there's plenty of screencaps. According to the video at the bottom of this OP, she deletes her tweets every 90 days).
Taylor Lorenz (born Oct. 21, 1984?) is a WaPo technology columnist with a history of sticking her nose in the lives of private citizens (and other places it doesn't belong), then crying foul and doubling down whenever someone pushes back.
Born in New York, raised in Old Greenwich, CT, and a graduate of posh Swiss boarding schools, Lorenz claims she spends "all day, every day" on the internet. Her terminal onlined-ness started by using Tumblr. She has written for the New York Times, the Atlantic, the Daily Beast, and the Hill.
She once complained about $22 avocado toast that came to her smashed:
Taylor loves to barge into the personal lives of underage kids on the internet. She said so in an interview with Digiday:
In 2018, Lorenz wrote a screed against the children of "Islamophobe" Pamela Geller, a survivor of an ISIS-inspired attack in Garland, TX, because they refuse to sufficiently denounce their mother.
In a now-deleted tweet, Lorenz tried to instigate a family feud by sharing a TikTok from Claudia Conway, the then-15-year-old daughter of George and Kellyanne Conway. She then tried to justify bringing the children of public officials into her clout-chasing because she and Claudia are "mutuals".
Clubhouse: False accusations and "Stop blocking me REEEEEEE"
Taylor claimed to have quit a new platform called Clubhouse, which allows for invite-only chat, citing "not enough protection". In reality, she admitted to using a burner account so she could eavesdrop on chat rooms, something NYT prohibits its journalists from doing:
Who is "pmarca"? It's tech investor Marc Andreessen, whom Taylor had been A-logging for some time. Turns out Taylor, and numerous other NYT hall monitors, were getting blocked by various Clubhouse users for intruding.
She planned this for months, all so she could nab something out-of-context and lie about Andreessen:
What really happened was that Andreessen was quoting r/WallStreetBets, and how they call themselves "retards" and "autists". Taylor offered this non-apology:
Because of this, Taylor proceeded to write a kvetchpiece in NYT about how Clubhouse allows people to have conversations without her consent:
...and even claims it has "destroyed her life".
Defamation lolsuit
In August 2020, Lorenz published the article: Trying to make it big online? Getting signed isn't everything".
The next year, Ariadna Jacob, a former agent who represented TikTok stars and other online influencers, filed a $6.2 million lawsuit against Lorenz and NYT, citing harm to her business:
"Help! My own tactics are being used against me!"
Taylor loves to cry out in pain as she strikes you, playing the victim as a poor, persecuted journalist whenever she gets caught lying and defaming innocent people.
In March 2022, Taylor went on MSNBC and broke down crying, saying she had "severe PTSD" and that she "contemplated suicide".... because of mean tweets and being told she's full of shit:
She was apparently not happy with MSNBC for showing what a histrionic harpie she is:
Doxing Libs of TikTok
Only a few weeks later, she decided it was her place to write an "exposé" (read: dox) the woman who runs the Twitter account Libs of TikTok, who reposts the weird, perverted, and looney videos of liberals without comment:
(Archive of the Washington Shitpost)
Taylor, in her infinite brilliance, decided it was a good idea to tip off Ron DeSantis' press secretary Christina Pushaw before the article published.
And oh, how Republicans POUNCED:
Taylor, never one to let facts or the reaction to her bullshit get in the way of her ego, doubled down on barging into the life of a private citizen:
...and then she threatened to lie about Pushaw's "relationship" with LoTT.
Lo and behold, Taylor has been showing up at the homes of Libs of Tik Tok's family members:
She defended this intrusive behavior with her usual "BUT IT'S MUH JERNALIZUMMMM!" song-and-dance. But she got upset when other people started doing some shoe-leather journalism of her own family:
By the way, thanks to Taylor and WaPo, Libs of Tiktok started receiving death threats:
Which Twitter thought was a-okay:
And then, Taylor threatened a random, unrelated person with a similar name, that they would be "implicated in a hate campaign" if they didn't respond to her demands:
Naturally, the simps at the Bezos Baizuo Blogspot rushed to m'lady's defense, outright lying that Taylor didn't post LoTT's nonpublic personal information:
In short, when Inquisitress Taylor finds you, she decides you are guilty first, and finds (or just makes up) the charges later. Tell her to fuck off, and she will cry to Daddy Bezos that "WAAAAAAHHH I'M BEING PERSECUTED FOR MUH JOURNALISMMM!!"
