I know "stealing content from social media willy nilly" is kind of how places like People magazine keep a flow of content, but the new drama is that the writer who does solely this (Ashley Vega) stole a story from a DV survivor on reddit who was asking for advice and published it as an "article" (she copy pasted the story and a few reddit comments)
When the DV victim asked her to please take it down, because she was afraid of her abusive ex finding her, Ashley Vega blocked her and deleted any comments about how the victim actually really wants the story taken down for her own safety.
idk the point of this, other than it feels so gross to me that people just stole some poor woman's trauma for money and don't even have the grace to take it down, especially since those "articles" aren't exactly hard or time consuming to write.
The story is still up btw. People's response was basically "Sucks to suck" Ashley Vega is an absolute scumbag and disgusting human being.
