Having access likely helps get a lot of the off the record, denied but likely accurate, “leaks” from…

2. The person who was going to be identified was “a creator” and “one of the people behind it” (which is how the person is carefully described in the statement) but not “the [original] creator;” Roiphe and her fact-checker know the true identity of one person who at some point became a principal in the creation of the…
