On 12 January 2018 The Daily Beast published an article by Crocker entitled “How Katie Roiphe Became Feminism’s Nemesis-In Chief”. In a series of tweets on 14 January 2018, New York Times Magazine contributing writer Thomas Chatterton Williams revealed that entire passages of Crocker’s article had been lifted verbatim from a Weekly Standard article, “Katie Roiphe, Moira Donegan, and What We Can Learn From Twitter Mob Mentality,” written by Alice B. Lloyd and published on 11 January 2018, a day earlier than Crocker’s piece. Following the public exposure of her plagiarism, The Daily Beast removed Crocker’s article from its website and Crocker tendered her resignation the same day.
