Director Lexi Alexander outs herself as Shitty Men In Media List Creator

The list first began circulating last fall not long after the New York Times published its exposé on Harvey Weinstein on October 5, the Shitty Men in Media list spotlighted men in Big Apple circles. Naming names, allegations on the list went from “inappropriate communication” to rape. In a tone of transparency, the list also noted that some of the details it contained were “rumors” and should be taken as such.

The announcement came after revelations that writer Katie Roiphe had been researching the originator of the list for a piece planned for Harper’s March issue. The move was widely criticized with many writers and editors encouraging writers to pull their pieces from Harper’s in order to protest the piece and protect the name of the creator.  

UPDATE: Lexi is not the originator of the piece but is one of many women claiming credit in order to protect the true identity of the originator. 

The ”No, I’M Spartacus” approach?

That’s a bold and risky move, and I offer all respect to the women involved.
