Well, Taylor Lorenz works at the New York Times, defending the interests of the ruling class by force. She defames people. One person is fighting back, however. Her name is Ariadna Jacob. She's recently filed a 6 million dollar defamation suit against Taylor Lorenz.
Ariadna Jacob is an entrepreneur and influencer marketing expert, founder of influences.com. She joins us to explain her lawsuit.
Thanks so much for joining us tonight. We appreciate it. So Taylor Lorenz stalks the landscape, hurting people, and if you say something about it, she claims you're attacking her because she's got all kinds of neuroses or whatever. You're the aggressor; you're the only person I've seen fight back. Tell us why you're doing this and what your claim against her is.
Thanks, Tucker. Uh, well, to give you some background, I dedicated my career to the influencer marketing industry for almost 20 years before "influencer" was even a term. And my company, influences.com, was disrupting the entertainment space as we discovered and developed some of the biggest internet stars in the world, including Charlie Demilio and Addison Rae. And it was devastating when Taylor Lorenz came along with the megaphone of the New York Times and decided to write a scathing article full of lies about us. And she had to know it was lies because we answered all her questions factually before she published the story. I lost my business, my personal reputation, and my income. In Spanish, we say "leyendas, but justicia," there's laws but no justice. And in this case, Tucker, I really pray for justice because Taylor Lorenz has a pattern of lying and destroying innocent people and manipulating young people, and she needs to be held accountable. I came to this country legally from Mexico when I was a little girl, and my father died, and it was my dream to build a company. And for a privileged bully like Taylor Lorenz to take it away from somebody like me is just wrong.
Yeah, but very common. You, you know her MO though. Even using her name in public will elicit some self-pitying stream on Twitter about how you're committing violence against her and endangering her. She can totally crush her life for the lives of kids, which she has done, but you're not allowed to fight back, are you? Are you ready for the further attacks on you?
Well, I am. I am ready, but I, I honestly, I'm here because I'm telling the truth, and and I don't care what attacks come from her. In fact, Taylor Lorenz had a conflict of interest when she came after me. She had a financial partnership with Hollywood giants, United Talent Agency, and UTA were also my direct business rivals. Um, Taylor wrote a glowing article about UTA in the New York Times without disclosing that they represented her, and soon after it was announced that UTA got Taylor Lorenz a book deal. It's no surprise that when Taylor's article left me blacklisted and penniless, that many of my clients ended up at UTA. And there's no recourse for someone like me, a non-celebrity, to get the truth out there. In fact, many primetime news anchors are represented also by UTA. Um, and so, but that's not all. Eight months after her defamatory article, she continued to attack me when she heard that I was raising capital for a new venture. She went behind the scenes, calling prominent people in the media, ranting that I'm a literal abuser who doesn't deserve positive press, I guess, to my career and silence me forever. Um, and this is an abusive power. The New York Times, even after I filed a lawsuit against them, which isn't easy, by the way, they continue to stand behind Taylor's disgusting and sinister behavior. How does Taylor Lorenz still have a job? Because she's intimidated people into silence. She's the bully, but she's calling you an abuser. I hope you end this. I, I really do.
Ariadna Jacob. Thank you. Thank you so much. All of us who've watched this with jaws open, how is this woman terrorizing the country and nobody has the stones to fight back? So thanks.
