Who is Alisha Grauso? Journalist gets ‘rape and death’ threats after her tweet goes viral

Since the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, people, especially women, have been feeling uneasy.

Some people still feel like they are being told what to do and what not to do, even though Independence Day is coming up soon. But when an entertainment journalist said she was unhappy with where the country was going, things took a strange turn.

Alisha Grauso, who works as a Features Editor for the very popular entertainment news website Screenrant, got a lot of flak for a Twitter thread in which she asked other Americans if they were ready to celebrate Independence Day this year. But after FOX News took her tweet and made it a big deal online and on TV, she soon got a lot of hateful comments. Even though it’s been 36 hours since FOX News posted her tweet, Grauso says she’s still being harassed because it was “figurative” and “not literal.”

Grauso said on Twitter that she has been getting “rape and death threats” because of what she said earlier. She also criticized FOX News for trying to stir up a “unstable base.” She wrote, “I’ve been harassed, raped, and threatened with death for the last 36 hours because Fox News took a tweet of mine that was obviously not meant literally and blew it up online and on TV to stir up an unstable base.”
But what did she say in her tweets before that? Let’s look at the whole situation.

What is her name? Threats to rape the editor of Screenrant for her “not literal” tweet

Alisha Grauso is a well-known writer in the entertainment industry who has written a lot about movies and TV shows. She went to school at Indiana University of Penn and got a Bachelor of Arts degree. Grauso, on the other hand, got her master’s degree in English literature from The University of Dallas. The journalist has been working since 2011, and even though she started out as a professor, she was soon writing for a number of different media outlets.

She has worked for Movie Pilot, the LGBT Foundation, Forbes, Marvel, Film School Rejects, and Atom Tickets over the years. She has been the Features Editor at Screenrant since December 2020.

As far as the controversy goes, it all started with a tweet in which she said she didn’t feel like celebrating Independence Day this year. On July 2, Grauso wrote, “Are there any other Americans who don’t feel like celebrating Independence Day this year? Right now, I don’t feel like cheering for this country.” But the second tweet in this thread was the one that really made some people, especially at FOX News, feel bad.

FOX News used Alisha’s tweet in a story about how Leftists don’t seem to want to celebrate Independence Day this year right after she sent it. The article said that the answer to Alisha’s own tweet was “much worse” than the one mentioned above.

Grauso said that FOX News used her tweet to please its core audience. The author also said that threats of “rape and death” haven’t stopped since the article went online. In her most recent tweets, Grauso criticized the news outlet for teaching its followers to “no longer recognize figurative, metaphorical, facetious, non-literal” things. She also said, “They’ve taught them to take everything literally, as it is, and to react to trigger words like bulls when they see a cape.”

The journalist ended by saying that FOX is “brainwashing” millions of people and that no one is doing anything about it. “We can see for ourselves how much Rupert Murdoch and FOX are hurting this country. We can see how many people have been fooled. And we did nothing. We didn’t do anything.

Grauso also posted screenshots of all the hateful comments and threats she’s gotten since she tweeted “burn this country.”
