<p>Former Miss America Erika Harold criticized recent media coverage of disgraced — and convicted — Theranos founder <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/theranos-fraudster-elizabeth-holmes-asked-to-remain-out-of-prison-while-appealing-her-conviction-a-judge-denied-her-request" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabeth Holmes</a>, arguing that a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/07/business/elizabeth-holmes-theranos-interview.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> profiling her &#8220;new image&#8221; was essentially rewarding her behavior.</p>
<p>Harold, who parlayed her 2003 pageant victory into a Harvard Law degree, critiqued the piece in a Sunday tweet. &#8220;We must stop rewarding bad behavior w/clout + clicks. Elizabeth Holmes isn’t being punished b/c she girl bossed &#8216;too close to the sun.&#8217; She intentionally misled people re a biotechnological device, impacting patients, investors + employees. She doesn’t deserve a phoenix narrative.&#8221;</p>

<p>&mdash; Erika Harold (@ErikaHarold) <a href="https://twitter.com/ErikaHarold/status/1655274330635288578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 7, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>She quoted a tweet sharing NYT <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/07/business/elizabeth-holmes-theranos-interview.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> — titled &#8220;Liz Holmes Wants You to Forget About Elizabeth&#8221; — along with the caption, &#8220;The black turtlenecks are gone. So is the voice. As the convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes awaits prison, she has adopted a new persona.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;new persona,&#8221; according to the article, is &#8220;devoted mother&#8221; of two young children with partner Billy Evans — and her reinvention comes just ahead of her imminent prison sentence for corporate fraud over Theranos, her blood-testing startup.</p>
<p>The interview, published on Sunday, was conducted at the San Diego Zoo — with Evans and the two children in tow — by the Times&#8217; former reporter-at-large Amy Chozick.</p>
<p>The implication that a transformation has taken place is reinforced by the fact that Holmes, when talking about her time with Theranos, claimed to have not been herself at all but rather a character that she had created.</p>
<p>Responding to Chozick, who told her that actress Jennifer Lawrence had backed out of playing her in a film, Holmes said simply, &#8220;They’re not playing me. They’re playing a character I created.&#8221;</p>
<p>As to why she believed she &#8220;created&#8221; that character, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elizabeth-holmes-disgraced-media-darling-behind-theranos-fraud-sentenced-to-11-years-in-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holmes</a> said, &#8220;I believed it would be how I would be good at business and taken seriously and not taken as a little girl or a girl who didn’t have good technical ideas. Maybe people picked up on that not being authentic, since it wasn’t.&#8221;</p>
