Ryan Lizza is out at the New Yorker because a slut accused him of doing something bad!
The New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza has just been fired for sexual misconduct. Lizza was the reporter who scored the interview that led to Anthony Scaramucci getting fired from the White House.
The New Yorker has let go of its star reporter Ryan Lizza amid allegations of sexual misconduct, the magazine confirmed Monday.
“The New Yorker recently learned that Ryan Lizza engaged in what we believe was improper sexual conduct. We have reviewed the matter and, as a result, have severed ties with Lizza,” a spokesperson for the magazine said. “Due to a request for privacy, we are not commenting further.”
In a separate statement, Lizza disputed the magazine’s description of his firing: “I am dismayed that The New Yorker has decided to characterize a respectful relationship with a woman I dated as somehow inappropriate. The New Yorker was unable to cite a company policy that was violated.”
He continued: “I am sorry to my friends, workplace colleagues, and loved ones for any embarrassment this episode may have caused. I love The New Yorker, my home for the last decade, and I have the highest regard for the people who work there. But this decision, which was made hastily and without a full investigation of the relevant facts, was a terrible mistake.”
Lizza is perhaps best known for inadvertently ending the short-lived White House career of Anthony Scaramucci. When the notoriously chatty then-White House comms director called up Lizza in July 2017, he went on an unhinged rant against Trump administration colleagues—calling Reince Priebus a “fucking paranoid schizophrenic” and derisively referring to Steve Bannon’s media-hungry ways as “trying to suck [his] own cock.”
Despite Scaramucci’s unspoken assumption the chat was off-record, it was not. He was fired ten days into the White House gig.
In the age of #MeToo your career accomplishments mean nothing if a slut or a group of sluts accuse you of wrongdoing. That’s just the way it is and hopefully it continues until the entire establishment is burnt down.
Who would have ever thought that feminism and skankery could be such a useful weapon!
