Education

Crokin grew up in Glenview, Illinois and graduated from New Trier High School. She attended the University of Iowa studying political science and journalism. While there, she was an organizer for Students for Bush, a large organization supporting the George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign. She later interned at the U.S. State Department during Bush's first term and for conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly's show The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News.[3]

Career

Crokin began work in 2002 for the Chicago Tribune, before moving to their RedEye daily tabloid writing a column called "Liz in the Loop" (previously "Eye Contact") which covered celebrity news in the Chicago area. In 2010, Crokin moved to Los Angeles and began working as a freelance entertainment reporter for National Enquirer, Star, In Touch Weekly, US Weekly where she focused on celebrity breakups. Crokin returned to Chicago in 2012 to work for Splash, a Chicago Sun-Times publication at the time, writing a column called "LA LA Liz".[3]

In September 2012, Crokin developed a viral form of meningitis which progressed into meningoencephalitis and caused daily migraines, vertigo, and photophobia resulting from brain damage. Her health problems resulted in a loss of work, including being laid off in 2013 by American Media Inc., parent company of Star and National Enquirer. Crokin and others had previously accused AMI content officer Dylan Howard of sexual harassment, and has suggested that the layoffs were done in retaliation.[4][3] Crokin's column in Splash ended in February 2014.[3]

Crokin was the central researcher in the conspiracy[5] documentary, OUT OF SHADOWS in 2020, seeing pedophilia in high places in Hollywood, the media, and DC.[6] In the film, Croken identified herself with the anonymous Twitter handle @Crux41507251.
