Harold argued that a New York Times article profiling Holmes&#8217; &#8220;new image&#8221; was essentially rewarding her behavior.<\/p>\n<h3>Stop Rewarding Bad Behavior<\/h3>\n<p>Harold&#8217;s tweet read, &#8220;We must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nikki-haley-at-rjc-biden-admin-cant-be-trusted-to-stop-iran-nuclear-threat\/\" title=\"Nikki Haley at RJC: Biden Admin Can\u2019t Be Trusted to Stop Iran Nuclear Threat\">stop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-concerning-foreign-policy\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Concerning Foreign Policy\">rewarding bad behavior<\/a><\/a> w\/clout + clicks. Elizabeth Holmes isn&#8217;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&#8217;t deserve a phoenix narrative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She quoted a tweet sharing the NYT article titled &#8220;Liz Holmes Wants You to Forget About Elizabeth,&#8221; which describes Holmes&#8217; new persona as a &#8220;devoted mother&#8221; of two young children with partner Billy Evans. This reinvention comes just ahead of her imminent prison sentence for corporate fraud over Theranos, her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elizabeth-holmes-found-guilty-on-four-counts-of-defrauding-theranos-investors\/\" title=\"Elizabeth Holmes Found Guilty On Four Counts Of Defrauding Theranos Investors\">blood-testing startup<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>A Transformation Reinforced by the Interview<\/h3>\n<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. 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>\n<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&#8217;re not playing me. They&#8217;re playing a character I created.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As to why she believed she &#8220;created&#8221; that character, Holmes 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&#8217;t have good technical ideas. Maybe people picked up on that not being authentic, since it wasn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Harold&#8217;s criticism of the media&#8217;s coverage of Holmes is a reminder that we should not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-builds-back-obamas-middle-east\/\" title=\"Biden Builds Back Obama\u2019s Middle East\">reward bad behavior<\/a>. It is important to hold individuals accountable for their actions, especially when they have intentionally misled people and impacted patients, investors, and employees. Let&#8217;s hope that the media takes note and starts reporting on the facts rather than rewarding bad behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Miss America Erika Harold criticized recent media coverage of disgraced \u2014 and convicted \u2014 Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, arguing that a New York Times article profiling her \u201cnew image\u201d was essentially rewarding her behavior.
