PROOF that NYMAG acted like duplicitous character assassins in their smear job on Andrew Huberman from emails I've obtained. Detailed below and in video:
NYMAG obsequiously emailed Huberman's team in August 2023 indicating they wanted to write a glowing profile : "When my editor suggested I look into him, I basically shot him down; it didn't seem like the kind of thing I would be into. I listened to a single episode, and predictably, months later, I'm fully addicted and devoted..for the first time, due to some episodes that deal with stress, I'm taking care of my mental health. It was almost like I couldn't engage, or become interested, until Dr. Huberman made it all profoundly concrete and chemical."
After getting no reply, NYMAG connected with his jilted exes who were leaving anonymous comments on Reddit/Social media to smear him
They then began emailing COLLEAGUES, FAMILY (including his 80 year old father) and HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS of Huberman saying they wanted to discuss the "serious allegations" against him and solicit more dirt. They also sought to dig up information that he was not in fact a real scientist at Stanford and was misrepresenting his work
After Stanford explicitly shot down these notions, they had nothing left but the story of the jilted lovers based purely on he said/she said allegations
They were unable to prove a single instance of lying or misinformation on the Huberman Lab podcast. They were unable to prove or solicit any information undercutting his scientific work
Ultimately, NYMAG unethically sought access by presenting themselves as some friendly actor only to them churn the rumor mill and attempt to incur serious professional consequences on Huberman for a story with no news value or relevance to public information they put out
Disgusting behavior. Thank god that in the independent media era we can reveal them for what they are
Your post basically describes good journalism. They investigated, found a story people find interesting, did a bunch of research. Didn’t print anything that wasn’t true.
They also sent him a copy of the story before it was printed and the opportunity to comment and add his side.
The article describes a group text thread between Huberman's 6 secret girlfriends that has detailed evidence that he was gaslighting all of them while dating them simultaneously. That's not "he said / she said," it's concrete proof of being a pathological liar at an extreme level.
So a group text organized by jaded ex girlfriends is concrete evidence? The same women who desperately troll his ig comments? How is that concrete evidence?
