Two weeks ago, I shared a copy of a letter I’d written to the editor of Los Angeles Magazine, with copies sent to other editors listed on the masthead. The lengthy profile of me that ran in LA Mag many years ago remains my number one search result on Google. It is devastating reading, and Heloise was shattered when she read it. As you may recall, I wrote the editor to ask him to consider one of two options: 1), take down the piece; 2) commission a new profile, focusing on what my life is like now.
I am very sympathetic to your situation (albeit without any power or clout to help in any meaningful way). But, I do think, writing for the public even in a limited substack, makes it a bit difficult to make the "no longer a public figure" argument.
