Careercow Taylor Lorenz - Crybully "journalist", self-appointed Internet Hall Monitor, professional victim, stalks teenagers for e-clout

Taylor's always known Biden sucks:
Gonna be fair with Tay here: leftists have always disliked Biden since he was announced as Dem candidate in 2020. They wanted Bernie and they felt Biden was too much to the right for them. They were just coping and wishing him to do what they really wanted Bernie to do.

Fortunately, no one is really forced to take a 9 hour plane trip, so the hazards of the whole thing are easily avoided. Anyway, she's one step closer to hiding in her apartment and never coming out again, I see this as a positive development. Just wear an environmental spacesuit with it's own air supply. A Chemturion suit, for example.
Even if she locks herself up in her apartment, she will still be online.

There's a simpler option she could go for:

She can also kill two birds with one stone and ward off the accusations of antisemitism by telling everyone she was inspired by the example of the venerable Kohen here.

That Kim person is absolutely vile, she went ballistic on me once and posted an entire thread of completely unhinged right wing conspiracies about me! She is delusional and no one should engage with her, she does not give a fuck about solidarity or actual accountability
🤔
Sounds interesting. Let's check out this Kim person who supposedly posted rightwing conspiracies about TayTay!
bluesky.png mastodon.png
Kim Crawley is an autistic woman with an interest in cybersecurity. A casual scan of her Bluesky/Mastodon accounts shows that she's some kind of far-leftist. She also proudly calls herself a "Certified zero COVID zealot", so Kim is clearly pretty similar to TayTay herself! :story:

Googling Kim Crawley and Taylor Lorenz brings up this blogpost:

Stop lying, Taylor Lorenz​


Taylor Lorenz is a compulsive liar. She’s a worst liar than most. A clever liar will maintain a consistent story within the same conversation. But Taylor Lorenz will literally contradict herself within moments.

Why am I exposing Taylor? Remember what Malcolm X said:
“The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the smiling fox.”
Taylor Lorenz has a history of legitimizing far right fascist bigots in the mainstream media. She’s a regular Washington Post columnist. The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, who in recent times is the second wealthiest person on Earth, second only to Elon Musk. I don’t think Lorenz is a billionaire, but internet research reveals that she was likely born into a multimillionaire family and she tries to hide it. That makes sense, because anyone who has ever worked in journalism knows that you cannot survive financially as a journalist unless you come from inherited wealth. “Trust Fund Baby with a Washington Post/New York Times/Globe and Mail column” is a real life trope. Very few of those people started from the bottom.

Taylor Lorenz has used her enviable media soapbox to provide free advertising to “Libs of TikTok”’s Chaya Raichik. And my trans friends tell me that Taylor’s recent interview of Chaya has endangered trans people even further. Chaya Raichik likely wouldn’t be famous if it weren’t for Taylor’s “reporting.”

So Taylor Lorenz is a worthy target of an exposé, and I am definitely punching up.

Taylor fancies herself an expert on internet culture. So I will expose her in that style, with tons of social media screenshots as evidence.

In the first section, I will expose where she has contradicted herself within mere moments! Like, if you’re going to be a compulsive liar with no real morals, values, or worldview, at least be clever about it?

In the second section, I will expose some of Taylor’s happy smiling photos with far right charlatans. I personally would never smile in a photo with any of those scumbags. Nor would I interview them. I would punch them hard in the face and get arrested with assault charges. Which I why would never attend an event where any of those fuckers are present.

In the third section, I will show screenshots of wisdom from academics (including people of colour and other marginalized groups) and thoughtful people who explain why interviewing a fascist only strengthens fascism.

I must thank people on Bluesky for helping me with my research. So, let’s get started!

Taylor Lorenz is one of the worst liars in the world​

This is just a really pathetic self-contradiction.

I’m part of the Covid cautious community. I’m legitimately Covid cautious. (Ask some of us, there are lots of fake Covid cautious people who don’t take it seriously.) I wear my respirator at all times in public. Not to “virtue signal.” Because I know Covid causes brain damage and permanent immune damage. I know if I breathe any unfiltered air in public, I could be infected. I have completely avoided Covid, unlike 99% of the population. Because I genuinely stay home as much as possible and I genuinely wear my respirator every single second I’m away from home. I don’t want to go down in the plague like the majority of people have decided to accept.

(I keep a huge collection of medical studies and scientific research as PDFs in my pubic Google Drive if you question me about any of this. Check it out: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1h1GWOB9Uz_tpikuP45IqiCriYc3azUF7?usp=sharing )

I used to believe Taylor was Covid cautious. She has done a few red carpets in a mask. But when I saw this last November, Taylor lost my support. I can’t stand hypocrisy.

My respirator wearing is primarily because I don’t want to suffer the permanent consequences of inhaling a level three biohazard. But secondarily, those of us who wear respirators in public are subject to abuse, simply because we don’t want to succumb to the plague like most of you fools. We would be safer if more mask wearers were in public. And more people would mask if they didn’t think they’d look like outcasts. (Why you would prioritize avoiding peer pressure over avoiding brain damage and heart attacks is beyond me.)

Taylor has a lot of power in the media and if she wore a goddamn respirator for her big indoor book parties, she would be protecting her health and setting a good example for other people to protect their health.

But nothing is serious to her. She’s a Trust Fund Baby, she’s never had to deal with real problems or fight for survival.

“Let’s just completely change my worldview according to who I’m speaking to at the time!”

Even Taylor’s age is a bit controversial on her Wikipedia entry, because she has a history of lying about it. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Lorenz#cite_note-Birthday-1 )

Taylor Lorenz isn’t a hard hitting journalist exposing fascists. She’s friends with them!​


Donald Trump is proof why giving fascists media attention only makes them more powerful​


Here are some more citations. Because the truth is that by platforming fascists, you make them more popular.

Why ‘no platform’ still matters

Oh, but you know what Taylor did do? She named and identified a 17 year old transgender kid. Who will now face violence because Taylor named them in a mass media outlet.

Please share this post!

P.S.

Matthew Francis just published his own take on how Taylor Lorenz empowers transphobes:

What Do Journalists Owe Our Communities

https://buttondown.email/BowlerHatScience/archive/what-do-journalists-owe-our-communities/

It’s good to see I’m not the only cis person who’s allying with trans people.
It basically goes over TayTay's privilege, a few times where she lied or was hypocritical, and her problematic platforming/signal-boosting of "fascists" like LibsOfTikTok. :lol:
I guess any kind of criticism directed towards TayTay will get you labelled as a "rightwing conspiracy theorist", even if that makes no sense... 🙄

Anyway, let's see if there's anything else. Here are some mentions of "Taylor Lorenz" by Kim Crawley on Bluesky:

For people without a Mastodon account, I'm posting Simone's thread here. TLDR: - While working for the New York Times, Taylor Lorenz exploited musicians for her "journalism." - She pissed off a Warner music exec, who got Taylor fired from the NYT.

So. Since @taylorlorenz is now out here attacking, misquoting, deadnaming and dishonoring dead transchildren on her next clout chase to fame, it’s time to get into the predatory and delusional behavior across Clubhouse and Twitter that got her FIRED from NYT. I was there. I saw it first hand. She tried it with me. It failed. So now it’s time to tell the story.

Because what you WONT do is attack and disrespect #nexbenedict and not have me stand on business with this btch.
This woman became well-known and was called out several times for invading popular spaces, rooms and threads that have nothing to do with her, leeching content from talented people, and asking people if they want to be interviewed for NYT. Misleading them on what her intentions were.

She would specifically target and talk with OTHER clout chasing individuals who would give her background and context on things she clearly didn’t know, then promise them nice write ups with their names attached. +
Taylor would then deliberately misquote statements, or only use LITERALLY 2 to 5 words from their 30 to 45 minute conversation, then write a whole article AROUND *HER* thoughts on their conversation, and then leave their names out of the article completely, citing “anonymity.” This is a lie.

In its heyday, before it was invaded by frauds like Taylor, I ran large, successful music spaces on clubhouse that focused on informing musicians and artists on best business to get their music heard. +
One day, she invaded my space, and IMMEDIATELY attempted to colonize it. She sent me a DM that said “Hey. I’m Taylor. I don’t know anything about music but you should let me up on your stage. I can bring your room more attention.” This, by itself, was completely narcissistic and clear red flag scammers on clubhouse.

I ignored the dm, and did not allow her up. If you were not certified in the music industry, you could not sit with us. This was done to protect musicians from fakes and frauds. +
I contacted her after and let her know very frankly that I am not here to pack the stage with people with huge numbers, and I’m not for clout chasing in my spaces. I told her you have to be a musician or in the music business with credentials I could verify to sit with us.

She politely apologized and then asked me if I wanted to sit with her for an in-depth interview as one of the most popular users on Clubhouse (at its peak, I was rounding 65k follows. Most were probably bots, however).
I flat out declined, since at that point, over 20+ people had been misquoted by her, AND…. just the week before, there was a room of 700+ people who confronted this woman on her behavior. She was delusional the whole time, saying “these misquotes are a misunderstanding.”

I also told her that was the exact reason for the decline. “I was in that room. I am sorry, but I do not trust that you will represent our conversation in a proper way.” The fake white girl niceness immediately disappeared. +
She then INTENTIONALLY AND DELIBERATELY targeted an associate who used to host the rooms with me for an interview, who was NOT aware of their behavior. They agreed, and within 2 weeks, came to me with the complaint everyone had: “This wench stole my entire convo, repositioned and presented it as her own ‘discovery,’ AND then spelled her name wrong. Probably on purpose.”

What Taylor didn’t know, is that the woman in question was the head of Warner Music Creative… & had time to handle that bitch.
I told her that’s what she’s known for doing. So, head of Warner Creative invites me to meet her at Soho warehouse the next day, and told me to bring the recorded receipts of the Clubhouse room exposing Taylor as a sociopath to lunch. I can see my girls vision AHEAD of time, so I came with everything I could find.

When I got there… I see my girl sitting there, in full professional mode, VERY angry…. with her LAWYER sitting right next to her. This is when I knew SHIT WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN. 🤣
Once we were all settled, this goddess of a woman calls up NYT directly, and because of her status in the industry, was IMMEDIATELY connected to Taylor’s supervisor/head editor. I mean POWERFUL moves I could never make (at least not yet).

We then proceed to have a HOUR LONG conversation exposing Taylor Lorenz as the absolute sociopath she is, focusing on her misquote of the goddess, and including recorded rooms from clubhouse exposing her bad actor behavior, and general narcissistic delusions.
Of course, NYT being the absolute shtshow that its always been (it was over for some of us after the whole “Mike Brown was ‘no Angel’ article over here), editors “claim” they had no idea that this is what this woman was doing, completely distancing and disavowing any real connection to her behavior, especially when the lawyer stepped in the conversation.

They end the conversation with apologies to all of us, and say “the issue will be resolved within 24 hours.” We knew EXACTLY what that meant.

So, the lawyer and I sit and causally watch her social platforms, waiting for what we knew was coming. And sure enough… 72 hours later, Taylor had removed the NYT connection from her bio, and unpinned her NYT byline from her Twitter page.

We know what that means. We got that bitch not just fired, but WIPED from her “internet reporter” job at the paper. City Girls ARE UP BY 10,000 (hip hop colloquialism).

We aren’t the only ones who noticed the changes. Within a few days people start asking…

“Hey Taylor. Are you at NYT anymore? They removed your profile from their journalist page.” (LOL raggedy bitch.)

She replies, in full white cis woman delusion, “Yeah so I left NYT to position myself for a better role.”

Okay bitch. You were fired. Because you are an incompetent journalist and human behind to attempted to misquote one of the most powerful women in MUSIC INDUSTRY HISTORY. She refused ANY accountability for her behavior and actions, knowing EXACTLY what she did. It is INSANE.

We think the situation is handled, and get back to music and minding our business. Nevertheless, this woman weaponizes her whiteness (and whatever else she has), and within 3 weeks, is bragging on the “journalism position she just accepted.” Our jaws drop. “Who is hiring this dumpster fire of a wench for any job?” Goddess of Warner texts me.

Sure enough… it’s the dumpster fire known as Washington Post. Of course a Jeff Bezos-type bitch would let this white woman continue her abuse for profit.

So there it is. Why that bitch was fired from NYT, and I’m sure it’s just one of many reasons. I know for a fact that wasn’t the first complaint NYT editors got on Taylor. That was just the only one from a notable person with the legal resources at her disposal to drop that bitch. And in the end, it STILL wasn’t enough.

Once again. Black women tried to tell you. Black women tried to protect you. Black women moved to the benefit of everyone, just to be overridden by white capitalist sociopaths.

Thank you for joining me on this episode of Ericka’s True Hollywood/Inglewood stories. Now. Spread word on what this bitch did, is doing, and has always done. I’m gonna go fix dinner and watch #ghostwriter.

Above all else. PROTECT TRANS CHILDREN. TRANSPEOPLE.

AND PROTECT BLACK WOMEN.

REST PEACEFULLY #NEXBENEDICT. WE GOT YOU BOO.

Ah yes, a woman who was raised on a Christmas tree farm her father had purchased truly was born into a privileged life. Also it was her mother that had helped her get a record deal when they found a talent manger, something anyone can do. I wish Elon didn't buy Twitter as all it did was make more shitty social media sites to appear for crazies to post on. Creation of such things should be highly regulated.
 
From a different lolcow thread:
There’s an extremely cringe hashtag #y’allmasking where all the covidiots post pics of themselves in masks. Ana Victoria is all in, of course.

I had a hunch, and sure enough...

TayTay jumped in on this y'all masking? trend too. :lol:
Just for fun, let's take a look at some of her fellow covidiots:
https://x.com/search?q=y'all+masking&src=typed_query
1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png
TayTay is in good company.🤡
 
Those pictures led me to a hypothesis: if we shake out the schizo libertarianish men who always believed they were being poisoned by the government and stuff, I wonder what the crossover between people posting masked selfies in mid-2024 and former Jezebel commenters (including good guy "ally" men ala Joss Whedon) is. Another reason we need Kiwi Research Grants.
 
True, but she should wear the spacesuit there, too, you can't be too careful. Do you think she masks at home, alone? Wouldn't shock me any.
Tay-Tay just needs to go full-on Howard Hughes in the totally sterile penthouse, letting her hair and beard and nails grow really long and unmanageable, and moving from place to place. If for no other reason than our amusement (which is reason enough).
 
Kim Crawley is an autistic woman with an interest in cybersecurity. A casual scan of her Bluesky/Mastodon accounts shows that she's some kind of far-leftist. She also proudly calls herself a "Certified zero COVID zealot", so Kim is clearly pretty similar to TayTay herself! :story:
That's a name I haven't heard in years. She got a small taste internet fame during gamergate by posting an anti-GG article on her employer's blog that was so bad they scrubbed it and fired her over it. She tried and failed at the "victim of gamergate" grift and had a deranged social media spat with Liana K. before fading back into obscurity. Searching her name with gamergate using Brave is hilarious because the Brave Search AI summary just mercilessly dunks on her:
Key Takeaways

  • Kim Crawley wrote an inaccurate article about GamerGate for the Infosec Institute, which was heavily criticized and eventually pulled.
  • Crawley claimed to be a victim of GamerGate harassment and bullying, but evidence suggests that her article was poorly researched and that her employer was grateful to have it removed.
  • Crawley has continued to write about cybersecurity topics and has been involved in other projects, but her reputation has been damaged by the controversy surrounding her article and her claims of harassment.

Tay-Tay is having a weird victory lap on Twitter because Violet Affleck demands mask updates. The funny thing is that only zero covid nutters belief that Violet did a good job. To anyone else she came off unhinged. Taylor has been retweeting anyone and everyone who mentions the speech in a positive light.

“To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC lights in government facilities, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical facilities,” the teen added.

“We must expand the availability of free tests and treatment and, most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason.”

“They do not keep us safer, they make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together. Thank you.”

Violet also wore a mask during Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin’s Hamptons party last year, where she was snapped with her dad and stepmom Jennifer Lopez.

The teen often opts to wear a face mask while out and about running errands.

Holy damn, I've become a fan of Kim Crawley, i hope she keeps destroying Taylor.

Why do do companies keep hiring her?
