We knew this was coming. . .
The Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz is pivoting toward victimhood status after she doxxed the woman behind the popular Libs of TikTok Twitter account:
“The amount of insane stuff that’s happened over the past 24hrs has been unbelievable. It’s eye opening to see how sophisticated & vicious these coordinated attacks have become. I’m grateful to work at a company that takes these issues seriously and is supportive. I’m doing great!”

But do you know who thhe real victim is here? It’s not just Chaya Raichik, the woman Lorenz doxxed. There’s another Chaya Raichik who calls herself “Just an LA girl 🇺🇸 living in London 🇬🇧 with my two 👩👧👦 asking you to laugh at my tiktoks” who is now getting death threats and such because of Lorenz’s article:
This poor Los Angeles mom on Instagram had the audacity to share the same name as @LibsofTiktok and now she and her family are receiving death threats. pic.twitter.com/LtxjEnHGMB

Take a bow, Taylor Lorenz. “This is on you”:
@taylorlorenz this is on you.

And we expect this would be a bigger story if it were conservatives sending the messages. Maybe Lorenz can do a follow-up?
The tolerant bunch threatening a woman and her family because she has the same name as the target of their rage https://t.co/BYEm05CgaJ

She *should* have done more to protect this woman with the same name:
Hey @TaylorLorenz here's a story lead for you! https://t.co/UYlOLPhxXN

Lorenz is currently playing catch up and just this morning warned her followers to not confuse the two accounts:
Just want to make clear that this Chaya Raichik on IG is NOT the Chaya behind Libs of TikTok! Chaya Musha is a common name, that’s why I worked so hard to confirm that I reported on the correct one. The Chaya behind Libs of TikTok does not have a personal IG or LinkedIn. pic.twitter.com/tonK2PXAS3

Too little, too late.
