Career

Weaver joined the Styles desk at the New York Times in March 2018[1].

In October 2015, Weaver joined the staff of GQ[2], writing about arts and entertainment for the publication. Her feature article about Kim Kardashian in 2016 brought GQ its "two biggest days of online traffic in the publication’s history — a million unique views when the story went live on June 16 and more than two million views over 36 hours."[3]

In 2011, Weaver joined Gawker[4]. With her irreverent write-ups on celebrity news and restaurant reviews, she became one of the site's most popular writers.[5] She won critical acclaim for writing a 6,000-word feature about a 14-hour all you can eat T.G.I. Friday's mozzarella sticks binge.[6] In January 2015, she was promoted to senior editor.[7]

In 2016, Brooklyn Magazine named Weaver one of the 50 Funniest People In Brooklyn.[8]
