Accused "crybully" Taylor Lorenz said she has suffered "severe PTSD" from being "a journalist" and broke down in an MSNBC interview on Friday.
Taylor Lorenz — “I can’t believe that the thing I do to other people makes people mad and want to also do it to me. Why can’t I try to ruin people without them ruining me. It’s like you make yourself a public figure but then you’re judged by the public. It’s just so unfair.”
The former New York Times tech reporter cried in the segment about mean tweets sent to her. The interview cites a study that says criticism about Lorenz's work from high-profile media personalities led to an uptick of backlash against her.
As Krystal & Saagar previously pointed out: Lorenz falsely accused Marc Andreessen of using the "R-word" on Clubhouse, without apologizing for 48 hours. Lorenz also went after YouTube personality MrBeast for saying "a bad word" when he was 19-years-old, and attacked an Instagram influencer because that person’s mother was a "prominent anti-Muslim activist."
Co-host Saagar Enjeti has said Lorenz uses her career to destroy opponents who she feels are beneath her. He said her tears come from Lorenz's inability to suss out what's legitimate criticism and harassment.
Lorenz's controversial career history has at times involved her using teenagers like Kellyanne Conway's daughter as the subject for stories.
