Never once did they do that profile that I always thought would be coming, like, look at what she built, look at what she did. But now, Rebecca Keegan at The Hollywood Reporter wanted to talk to me, so I knew what it was. Obviously, it was going to be a hit piece, and so I felt absolute terror. And and I said, are you going to write it anyway? And she said, yes.

And I said, OK, well, I'll talk to you. And I did. I talked to her for like two hours. Stupidly, Megan, stupidly. I need to learn how to not, you know, like not be so forthcoming because I said things I really wish I had said.

Yeah, but I'm just killing myself. Like, why did you say that? Why? Just give her what she needs to know. But I thought, I'm going to tell her my story, and she's going to understand it, and she's going to get it. But what I forgot was that if you're someone who wakes up with NPR, goes to sleep with NBC News and CNN and Rachel Maddow, there's no getting it. There's no way.

It's like trying to explain witchcraft, and that there's no witchcraft in Salem. Like, they are so... And so anyway, yes, it... And then I was terrified and horrified and I told my staff and they quit the site that day because they had to. They have to make a living. Oh, no. So they all immediately set up another site. That got into the story, too, because they told her.

And it sounded like they were all jumping ship and that they were abandoning me. And she made it sound like all of this was happening because of the tweet. But it was actually her story that was causing the fear. And so that's where things really got bad for me in ways that I could have never guessed. These are people that I knew. They were my friends, I thought.

Um, I have never felt, and I know you felt it, I know, but, um, I've never felt that way. It was like a punch in the stomach. It was, it made me sick and I was horrified. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. I kept thinking, this isn't really happening, is it? But it was, um,

So Apple pulled their ads that day, and usually when Oscar season is revving up, all the studios write me and they say, you know, could we buy inventory? And I sell out my inventory every year, which I couldn't believe anyway, by the way. Never. I could never believe that I made money doing this crazy thing. But that was it. Only one studio decided somehow... To advertise.
