Comedian Hasan Minhaj has responded to a New Yorker profile that portrayed him in a negative light. The profile, written by Lizzie Widdicombe, was published on November 1, 2022, and described Minhaj as a lying psycho. Minhaj took to Instagram to share a 10-minute video addressing the article, stating that he was misrepresented and that the article was a character assassination. He also pointed out that the article was based on a single day of observation and did not accurately reflect his character or work ethic.

The New Yorker article described Minhaj as someone who was constantly late, had a tendency to exaggerate, and was difficult to work with. Minhaj refuted these claims in his video, stating that he was not late to the interview and that he did not exaggerate his stories. He also stated that he was not difficult to work with, and that he was dedicated to his craft.

The New Yorker has not yet responded to Minhaj's video. However, the article has sparked a debate about the ethics of journalism and the responsibility of journalists to accurately portray their subjects. This incident has also raised questions about the potential for bias in journalism, and the impact that such bias can have on the subjects of articles.
