editIn 2011, Weaver joined Gawker,[1][2] shortly after she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.[2] With her irreverent write-ups on celebrity news and restaurant reviews, she became one of the site's most popular writers.[3] She won critical acclaim in September 2014 for writing a 6,000-word feature article, "My 14-Hour Search for the End of TGI Friday's Endless Appetizers", about a 14-hour all-you-can-eat mozzarella sticks binge at T.G.I. Friday's.[4][5] In January 2015, she was promoted to senior editor at Gawker.[2]
In October 2015, Weaver joined the staff of GQ,[6] writing about arts and entertainment for the publication. Her feature article about Kim Kardashian in 2016 brought GQ its "two biggest days of online traffic in the publication’s history — a million unique views when the story went live on June 16 and more than two million views over 36 hours."[7]
In 2016, Brooklyn Magazine named Weaver one of Brooklyn's "50 Funniest People".[8]
