Pathological Liar? Lorenz Says Drudge Harassment Claims Just a ‘Joke’

It would be funny if it wasn’t so harmful. This week was earlier. Washington Post hypocritical malefactor and tech reporter Taylor Lorenz proved herself to be a pathological liar after erroneously claiming an editor of the Drudge Report was “relentlessly” harassing her. She later deleted the tweets and bizarrely claimed the caller was lying about his identity before later insisting it was all a “joke” (you know, the thing you claim when you get caught making a fool out of yourself).

In a now-deleted tweet, Lorenz claimed “the Drudge Report editor” had been “calling and texting me relentlessly for the past couple of weeks.” She added that he got a hold of her “personal cellphone number” and “yelled at me when I asked him to leave me alone and said he would ‘blast my name all over Drudge Report until it ruins my career.’”

Matt Drudge, a media professional with their names on it, tried to find out what Drudge was saying.

According to reporting from CNN’s Oliver Darcy in the Reliable Sources newsletterDrudge then reached out to Lorenz. Darcy reported that since it was such a “serious allegation” he “checked in with Drudge who told me that he had ‘never contacted her, nor has anyone associated with the DRUDGE REPORT.’”

Adding: “Drudge, who made clear to me he was not pleased with the allegations against his site, forwarded me an email he had sent Lorenz asking for a correction.”

So what did she mean by that correction? At first, she suggested it was someone acting as Drudge editors. A screenshot taken by the U.K.-based Twitter account of an now-deleted Tweet Daily Mail, Lorenz wrote:

Anybody who saw my post on this man, claiming to come from Drudge, is now calling me non stop [sic], good news: I heard from Matt Drudge & this man has zero power over Drudge! He’s claiming to be an editor all over the internet but he’s not. I’m sorry, Drudge is not from the United States.[.]

But according to Darcy’s reporting, Lorenz’s “initial tweets” claiming she was harassed by a Drudge Report editor were just a “joke”:

Lorenz told me that her initial tweets were a “joke” And that was because she thought it was hilarious to think someone could endanger her career by Drudge Report. Lorenz stated that she was laughing “very hard at the idea” but was simply having fun online.

Darcy was told by her that she’d been there. “no drama with Drudge Report.”

As she began to lash out at Drudge Report, it was clear that this too was a fabrication. “I’m all good. It’s just hilarious because like… I didn’t know Drudge Report was even still around,” she said in one tweet that hasn’t yet been deleted. “It’s fine I just got a good laugh over the idea Drudge Report would have any impact whatsoever on my career lol,” in another.

Adding: “Lol I didn’t even know Drudge Report was even still around. To me, the Drudge Report’s claim that they would ruin my career is still objectively funny! I know you’re thirsty for media news, maybe u can report on someone claiming to destroy me on Geocities next[.]”

Her publisher sent her the following: Washington PostCNN: “Taylor was repeatedly contacted by someone who claimed to be a Drudge editor. As soon as she learned the person had no connection to the Drudge Report, she deleted the original tweet and wrote a tweet apologizing for her comment…”

So was it a “joke” or an actual occurrence? It is hard to say. We don’t know who the subject may be. The Washington PostLibsofTiktok, a Twitter user who didxxed him, was lying.
