Taylor Lopez is allegedly a journalist at the Washington Post, previously fired by the New York Times for falsified reporting.
Fake news is one of the biggest concerns in today’s scenario. However, the haphazard distribution of it is very difficult to control, considering the ecosystem of the digital arena.
It is at least not expected from bigger names and bigger news portals. Of course, verified sources are easy to point out for their carelessness while disseminating any kind of information. This is exactly what happened to a moderately famous journalist, Taylor Lopez. Let’s get into the details of her lawsuit and defamation case.
Why Was Taylor Lopez Fired From The New York?
Taylor Lopez is said to have gotten fired from ‘The New York’ for her false reporting. She got a defamation case from an influencer cum talent agent, Ariadna Jacob for giving out several incorrect information regarding her business.
Taylor’s article that was posted in August 2020 had a huge impact on Jacob’s sales. She lost almost $6.2 million and more than 85 clients because of what Lopez said.
Further, this cannot be the only reason for getting fired as the Times themselves released a statement calling the businesswoman spineless for not being able to take constructive criticisms for her work.
However, the recent Twitter posts are calling her out for leaking inappropriate images of people without consent as well.
Washington Post Hires Journalist Accused Of Harassment – Taylor Lopez
According to an Instagram DM, that is circulating all over Twitter, Taylor Lopez is given work by the Washington Post, despite the defamation case on her. It further states that she is a moderately popular journalist, Taylor Lorenz who happened to change her name into Taylor Lopez to get hired.
On the other hand, there are a group of people who are calling these Instagram DM’s out for circulating faulty information. The tweets say that it is just another route that has been used to put someone down and it has no truth to it whatsoever.
Washinton Post has not come to authenticate the gossip and it is still a mystery that Taylor Lopez is the very journalist who was fired by ‘The New York’ and sued by a businessperson.

If we believe the tweets on Twitter, Taylor Lopez is journalist Taylor Lorenz who is already featured on Wikipedia. However, as there is not enough proof to confirm the statement, we will have to wait for a validated source.
