Duhhhhhhhhhh. How long before this was going to get out? If you're doing crazy stuff, like RPF'ing people, the world loves to hear about it.
If you're stalking people that want to leave or write an article about you, the world loves to hear about it.
If you're bilking customers out of great sums of money, the world loves to hear about it.
If your belief system involves aliens, the world is enthralled by it.

I have to wonder what pressures the New Yorker was subjected to prior to the printing of the article.
