Hollywood Unlocked Might Have Confused Queens Of The Stone ... (BuzzFeed News)

"People are asking why we posted without allowing the royal family or the palace to release a statement. Why? Because we break stories," Jason Lee, ...

Lee acknowledged that the reaction he received on the Queen story “has been different,” but he was not thinking about the gravity of the news when reporting it — he was just doing the job. On Wednesday, the Palace and a spokesperson from the prime minister’s office confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the Queen held her audience with Johnson that afternoon, local time. In his interview with BuzzFeed News before getting on a boat at an undisclosed location, Lee added that after he posted his original story, he got a call from another source familiar with the British military who told him that all the top generals had been summoned to Windsor Castle four hours before his exclusive went live. “I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and everything aligns with me feeling very confident, which is why I doubled down on it,” he went on. Lee, who grew up in Stockton, California, is known for being a bombastic personality in the hip-hop media world. The site doesn’t even have interns, Lee scoffed, expressing frustration that other media outlets had not bothered to check the authenticity of the Twitter account. It posted an update Tuesday night again claiming that the Queen had died and detailing the “London Bridge” protocols that would go into place to announce her death. Instagram blurred both posts marking them “false information.” The next day, a Twitter account pretending to be Hollywood Unlocked published a retraction, blaming the whole ordeal on an intern. The story and subsequent social media postings went viral, sparking confusion about the status of the monarchy, questions about Lee and his site, and memes. “I would never post something like this if the person that told me, I did not trust,” Lee said. News of Lanegan's death was shared on Why? Because we break stories," Jason Lee, the media company's CEO, told BuzzFeed News.
