Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon announced a deal the popular Twitter account “Libs of Tik Tok” on Tuesday, after the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz exposed the identity of the account creator in an article.
Dillon announced the deal via a tweet thread, stating that the woman behind the “Libs of Tik Tok” account “won’t be cancelled from her job because this *is* her job now. I’ve worked out a deal with her that will turn her heroic, high-risk working into a career.” . . .
2/ But I think they'll be surprised by her resolve. She's afraid, as anyone would be in these circumstances, but she's also determined to not be bullied, threatened, or harassed into silence. That takes remarkable courage that few people possess.

Dillon’s announcement comes on the heels of a Washington Post article from Lorenz, focusing on the “Libs of Tik Tok” account. The article, published Tuesday, characterized “Libs of Tik Tok” as “anti-LGBT” and reportedly revealed the identity, career and city of the woman behind the account.
The “Libs of Tik Tok” account accused Lorenz of “harassing” her family members a day prior to the article’s publication. The account asked if which of her “relatives” Lorenz enjoyed “harassing the most at their homes.”
Hi @TaylorLorenz! Which of my relatives did you enjoy harassing the most at their homes yesterday? pic.twitter.com/QehkBSgcmG
