Maybe the reporter was right, CNN could stand outside of this poor man's house. They want that exclusive.
Technically the Guardian said they would never dox them. They want their exclusive as well. Putting pressure or manipulating a bit to get your way is messed up but probably nothing out of the ordinary for gossip/paparazzi focused journalists. Especially in the uk. This story she spread is news worldwide and therefore journalists have the right to investigate to find out the truth. They can contact everybody and their mama and it's not considered harassment or threatening because in journalism people believe everyone should have the right to know what's going on.
Nicki shared way too much info and now there's a manhunt to get to the bottom of this.
I am not surprised she doesn't see she started this.
