Tracy Schorn is an American cartoonist, former journalist, book author, blogger known as "Chump Lady", and founder of the online community known as "Chump Nation", made up of survivors of infidelity.[1]
Career
Schorn was the state news editor at the AARP Bulletin and has written for AARP[2], Smithsonian magazine, and Readers Digest. Her criticism of the term "conscious uncoupling" was noted by The New York Times.[3]
Schorn uses straight talk, snarky cartoons and humorous terms like "schmoopie" and "spackling" to affirm her motto "Leave a cheater, gain a life". Her own experience as a "chump" inspired her choice to focus on infidelity and the "reconciliation industrial complex" as her subject matter.[1]
Schorn advises cheated-on parents to remain respectful of their child's love for the cheating parent.[4]
Schorn's podcast with Sarah Gorrell is called "Tell Me How You're Mighty".[1]
Criticism
An article in The New Yorker described Schorn's philosophy as "a mission to reframe cheating as abuse".[5] The Cut suggested that Schorn promotes unquestioning validation of women's assertions.[1]
