Chill EB's first tweet on this particular subject, screenshot above, expressly states:Wait, is the claim that he was fired because he lied or that he lied ABOUT being fired? Or both?
That statement is clear and unambiguous."The guy is not someone to be considered a reliable source. He was fired as an editor for being a bonafide liar."@Chill_EB on @TonyOrtega94
I really want to stress again that this was NOT anywhere near Chill EB's original factual allegation. Again, Chill EB's first tweet on this particular subject, screenshot above, expressly states:I think it's really hard to read into the story of Ortega leaving the VV. Co$ has muddied the water so much with pushing a story of him getting fired for being a bigot. That said, I have read that he was "pushed out" of the VV because he was spending too much time on Co$ and not enough time on his editorial responsibilities.
That statement is clear and unambiguous. That is NOT an allegation that Tony lied about being fired. It is instead an allegation that Tony "was fired as an editor for being a bonafide liar." Those are two very different things."The guy is not someone to be considered a reliable source. He was fired as an editor for being a bonafide liar."@Chill_EB on @TonyOrtega94

I also read the VV's parent company brought in some higher ups that he did not get along with:

There's also this:
"Are you an editor in chief in need of a publication? Well, The Village Voice is hiring. The Voice needs to replace Tony Ortega, who jumped ship/got pushed out of the alt weekly last week and is now focusing on Scientology-related pursuits...Not stated in the description: no more than one post on Scientology per week."

But, as far as Chill.E.B. is concerned, he committed libel by publishing in social media, a falsehood that could hurt Tony's professional reputation.

Ya after reading Chilli Beans tweets you guys are right, it was over the line.
I doubt Tony will really care though, this guy is a pretty worthless hack with very little reach. Anyone who doesn't already have a Co$ brainslug latched on doesn't even know who this guy is.
Anyone know if his rap ? or ? is any good?
What are the chances he was on an amends project, he was never going to read anything T. Ortega wrote until instructed to put his priorities on the line.
If you like this crap
then you like Chill E B rap
It's got no street cred
and only thing gettin' arrested
is the element,
Chill E B's development.
Twitter says: "Sorry, this page doesn't exist."
