‘You Sick Fraud’: Magazine Editor Called Out for Hypocrisy After Accusing Others of Sexism
The editor-in-chief of women’s magazine Marie Claire bit off more than she could chew Monday when she attacked a conservative blogger for “shaming women,” only to be barraged with examples of much worse shaming on her part.
It all began when Stephen Miller, tweeted out a joke about pop star Madonna.

For the uninitiated, that’s a reference to a recent Game of Thrones episode that revealed that a beautiful, character has maintained her youthful beauty by wearing a magical necklace. The second image is what she looks like without the necklace, the first image is obviously Madonna. So the joke in essence is that Madonna should not be that beautiful for a 57-year-old woman.
That tweet prompted a rather out-of-the-blue chewing out of Miller from Marie Claire‘s Lea Goldman.
This is what men do to women with power. Shame them. About their bodies and their ages. I see you. https://t.co/5SFndkSiua

But that got turned on its head when Miller and his supporters began digging up examples of Goldman attacking women for their appearance. Just the day before, Goldman mocked the appearance of another female Game of Thrones character.

And then there was the time she attacked actress Sarah Hyland for showing too much cleavage on the red carpet.

But the worst instance when Goldman apparently took a picture of a random obese woman to mock on Twitter.

.@lea Things I’ve never done: Taken pictures of strangers and posted them online to shame them to my Twitter followers.
You sick fraud.

Feminism is powerful magazine editors shaming random people on the street without any power behind their back. https://t.co/So7edFbK0P

She took a picture of a stranger to humiliate them but is totally mad about a crack at Madonna. https://t.co/sTidMVPXhf

@lea @redsteeze tbh seems much crueler to take photos of unsuspecting nobodies so that you shame them on Twitter. https://t.co/Qzu0i0B3bc

In response to the tweets pointing out her own body-shaming, Goldman saw the error of her ways and apologized and ha ha of course she didn’t, she doubled down and played the victim.
@RobProvince here come the band of trolls, right on cue.
