Wasn’t it originally in NYT? Yeah, don’t expect much from NYT nowadays.
Great reporting can come from unlikely sources. If you told anyone from 2013 that TMZ would be a semi-respected publication in 2026, you’d have been laughed out of the room.
Since when are they semi respected?
TMZ is and has always been a trash publication.
However, they have always been remarkably factual. They always verify everything they publish is true.
