Career

In 2011, Weaver joined Gawker,[1] [2] shortly after she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. With her irreverent write-ups on celebrity news and restaurant reviews, she became one of the site's most popular writers.[3] She won critical acclaim in September 2014 for writing a 6,000-word feature article, "My 14-Hour Search for the End of TGI Friday's Endless Appetizers", about a 14-hour all-you-can-eat mozzarella sticks binge at T.G.I. Friday's.[4] [5] In January 2015, she was promoted to senior editor at Gawker.

In October 2015, Weaver joined the staff of GQ,[6] writing about arts and entertainment for the publication. Her feature article about Kim Kardashian in 2016 brought GQ its "two biggest days of online traffic in the publication’s history — a million unique views when the story went live on June 16 and more than two million views over 36 hours."[7]

In 2016, Brooklyn Magazine named Weaver one of Brooklyn's "50 Funniest People".[8]

Weaver joined the Styles desk at the New York Times in March 2018.[9] She then joined the New York Times Magazine in February 2022.[10]

Personal life

Weaver lives in New Mexico.
