Taibbi's partner at the time posted a response to these allegations. https://exiledonline.com/about-those-exile-smears/ https://exiledonline.com/about-those-exile-smears/ A brief excerpt from Ames' piece: "How do you respond to something so blatantly dishonest? A number of media contacts have told me that Lally shopped this hit piece around to multiple publications, but it was rejected for this very reason." It's worth noting that the women who worked for the Exiled are still around, and when this came out they confirmed that the events depicted in the Exiled book were satirical. This was an attempt to hijack the #metoo movement without anyone actually making an accusation.
