Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon made it clear Tuesday that he stood with the woman behind the often-viral Libs of TikTok account — and that he believed she would weather the storm brought on by a Washington Post article attacking her and revealing her identity.
The article was written by Taylor Lorenz — who, in an ironic twist, broke down during a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/straight-trash-twitter-explodes-as-washington-post-reveals-who-runs-libs-of-tiktok-account/">recent MSNBC interview</a> while complaining about threats and online bullying she claimed had targeted her. She argued that it was necessary to expose the woman behind <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/taylor-lorenz-criticized-for-her-plan-to-dox-anonymous-libs-of-tiktok-account/">Libs of TikTok</a>.
&#8220;@LibsofTikTok has become a powerful cross-platform social media influencer, spreading anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment and fueling the right wing media&#8217;s outrage machine. I wrote [about] the account, the woman behind it, and why it matters,&#8221; she tweeted.

But Dillon wasn&#8217;t buying <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/taylor-lorenz-criticized-for-her-plan-to-dox-anonymous-libs-of-tiktok-account/">Lorenz&#8217;s argument</a>, and he pushed back in a Twitter thread of his own.
&#8220;The exposure of @libsoftiktok isn&#8217;t journalism; it&#8217;s pure intimidation. They&#8217;re threatened by her effectiveness, so they hope to silence her by making her too afraid to continue,&#8221; Dillon began. &#8220;They want to raise the cost of doing her work so high that she has no choice but to quit.&#8221;
&#8220;But I think they&#8217;ll be surprised by her resolve,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;She&#8217;s afraid, as anyone would be in these circumstances, but she&#8217;s also determined to not be bullied, threatened, or harassed into silence. That takes remarkable courage that few people possess.&#8221;

Dillon went on to say that he expected to see a lot of people rallying to support her as well, adding that he had worked out a deal with her to make sure that she could continue her work.
&#8220;I think they&#8217;ll also be surprised by the support she receives. I want them to know that she won&#8217;t be canceled from her job because this *is* her job now. I&#8217;ve worked out a deal with her that will turn her heroic, high-risk work into a career,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;They may have exposed her, but they&#8217;ll never stop her. Long live @libsoftiktok,&#8221; he concluded.

&#8220;Breaking Points&#8221; co-host Saagar Enjeti <a href="https://twitter.com/esaagar/status/1516403971681832966">commented</a> on the situation as well, noting that there was a story surrounding Libs of TikTok — it just wasn&#8217;t the one that Lorenz had chosen to focus on.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a real story about how @libsoftiktok by simply posting videos became objectively one of the most important conservative activists in the entire country Taylor Lorenz refuses to engage with the actual content/why it resonates and chooses to try and destroy her instead,&#8221; he said.
The woman at the center of the storm appears to be weathering it as well as Dillon predicted, however.
She <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/holed-up-in-a-safe-location-libs-of-tiktok-creator-provides-update-on-her-safety-after-being-doxxed-by-washington-post/">posted a statement</a> saying that she was &#8220;holed up in a safe location.&#8221;
&#8220;Words cannot express how appreciative I am of the support I’m receiving right now. Thankfully I’m currently holed up in a safe location. I’m confident we will get through this and come out even stronger. Grateful for all the thoughts and prayers,&#8221; she said.
