"Martin Shkreli, the former Turing Pharmaceuticals executive who became known as ‘‘Pharma Bro’’ after he dramatically hiked the price of a drug, was suspended from Twitter on Sunday afternoon. A person at Twitter who is familiar with the matter but declined to be quoted directly confirmed that Shkreli’s suspension was related to his harassment of journalist Lauren Duca.
Duca, a freelance journalist, recently wrote a viral op-ed for Teen Vogue titled ‘‘Donald Trump is gaslighting America.’’ During a combative appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show just before Christmas, Carlson told Duca that she should stick to writing about ‘‘thigh-high boots,’’ and Duca told Carlson that he was ‘‘unprofessional’’ and a ‘‘partisan hack.’’ The exchange resulted in her receiving thousands of angry messages, including a rape threat on Christmas Day.”*
