Martin Shkreli suspended from Twitter for alleged harassment of Lauren Duca
Source: The Guardian
Martin Shkreli, the “Pharma-bro” reviled for drastically raising the price of an HIV drug, has been suspended from Twitter for the alleged “targeted harassment” of a journalist.
The former pharmaceuticals head had direct-messaged Lauren Duca, a freelance writer, on Thursday to ask her to be his “+1” to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Duca rejected the offer, tweeting an image of the exchange on Sunday with the comment: “I would rather eat my own organs”.
Shkreli took offence, calling her a “cold you know what”, and changed his profile picture on Twitter to a doctored image appearing to show him sitting with Duca on a couch.
He also made his cover photo a collage of images of Duca with the caption, “For better or worse, ‘til death do us part, I love you with every single beat of my heart”, and changed his bio to refer to his “small crush on @laurenduca (hope she doesn’t find out)“.
Duca tweeted screenshots of Shkreli’s profile to Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s founder, asking “How is this allowed”.
