In their current Editor's Note, The Washington Post claims that they reached out to LegalBytes via Instagram prior to the story's publication. Ironically, this comes as Lorenz has pumped out irate tweets in support of Heard who earlier this week was found guilty of defamation. In her original story, Lorenz falsely claimed she had reached out and both and they “did not respond to requests for comment” (included below). After the story was published, The Post continued to seek comment from Mazeika via social media and queried ThatUmbrellaGuy for the first time. The story has been updated to note that Mazeika declined to comment for this story and ThatUmbrellaGuy could not be reached for comment.
