The remark came in the wake of her essay, \u201cTrump is Gaslighting America\u201d for Teen Vogue, in which she criticized Trump for treating the CIA like \u201csome rogue blogger\u201d and his team\u2019s exaggeration of the scope of his election victory.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_18_0_4_1483933315243_2804\">Shkreli, a Trump supporter, apparently decided to troll Duca, first inviting her to be his date to the inauguration (\u201cI\u2019d rather eat my own organs,\u201d she responded), then changing his Twitter profile to say he had a crush on her, doctoring his profile picture to a Photoshopped photo of Duca and him, and then altered his banner to a bunch of pictures of Duca and the lyrics to the 1994 single, \u201cI Swear.\u201d Duca tweeted screenshots of Shkreli\u2019s machinations to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I would rather eat my own organs <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IgeCRZqk8w\">pic.twitter.com\/IgeCRZqk8w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/laurenduca\/status\/817040025078681600\">January 5, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p id=\"yui_3_18_0_4_1483933315243_2870\">Twitter rules prohibit targeted harassment. Shkreli can appeal the suspension.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_18_0_4_1483933315243_2862\">Before his account was suspended, Shkreli tweeted he didn\u2019t see his actions as harassment, but rather as \u201cunrequited love,\u201d and then accused the New York Daily News of harassing him by seeking a comment on the suspension.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll come out there and beat the s&#8212; out of you if you f&#8212;&#8212; keep harassing me,&#8221; he told the News Sunday in a call broadcast on Periscope.<\/p>\n<p>Shkreli first made headlines in 2015 when his Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price of the HIV drug Daraprin from $13.50 a pill to $750. He faces trial in June for securities fraud and conspiracy for allegedly deceiving investors about the hedge fund he managed.<\/p>\n<p>Harassing and abusive tweets have been receiving increased scrutiny. Last summer, Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulis\u2019 account was suspended after he was accused of launching an abuse campaign against \u201cGhostbusters\u201d actress and \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d comedian Leslie Jones.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin Shkreli, whose name became synonymous with greed in the pharmaceutical industry, was suspended temporarily from Twitter Sunday for harassing a free lance writer.
