"It can be hard to maintain friendships as an adult. People move to new cities, start families, and experience all sorts of other life events that make it difficult to keep in touch. Sometimes, you end up losing all of your friends because you can't stop writing pro-genocide propaganda for Bari Weiss's stupid website. That last circumstance is the one in which Free Press reporter Olivia Reingold currently finds herself, which we know because she won't stop tweeting about it."
"Shortly after having her name attached to one of the most evil pieces of journalism ever produced, Reingold started losing friends. 'Over the past few days, I've received thousands of hate comments, death threats, oh and my childhood best friend broke up with me due to my 'morals',' Reingold wrote in a tweet published on Aug. 20. Less than a month later, Reingold was back with another update: A different childhood best friend had just disinvited Reingold from her wedding:"
Maintaining adult friendships becomes difficult as people move, start families, and undergo life changes. Olivia Reingold joined The Free Press in 2022 and published an investigation that downplayed Gaza children's starvation by noting other ailments. Following publication, she received thousands of hate comments and death threats. Several childhood friends ended relationships with her, including breakups and a wedding disinvitation. Reingold publicly tweeted updates about these losses and reported that she now has only three or four friends remaining from before 2022 despite expressing shared views like support for a two-state solution.
