GoKawiilWhite House press secretary Katie Zacharia worked as Beachbody affiliate marketer, WIRED finds
A WIRED review of deleted social media and professional profiles found that Katie Zacharia, now the White House press secretary, spent part of a 2013-2023 resume gap as an affiliate marketer for Beachbody, a fitness multilevel marketing company she herself described as 'sort of a pyramid scheme.' The finding comes amid broader scrutiny of her background, including reports that she never passed the California bar exam despite being repeatedly identified as an attorney on Fox News, and that tax filings show she was a fundraiser rather than general counsel for the nonprofit Fix California.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The disclosures add to mounting questions about the accuracy of credentials claimed by a senior administration spokesperson, which could affect her credibility in briefings. A watchdog group's bar complaint suggests the discrepancies may draw formal regulatory scrutiny beyond media reporting.
- WIRED found Zacharia was a Beachbody MLM affiliate during a previously unexplained 2013-2023 resume gap.
- She was repeatedly presented as an attorney on Fox News despite never passing the California bar, per WSJ and WIRED reporting.
- Tax filings show she was a fundraiser, not general counsel, for the nonprofit Fix California, contradicting her LinkedIn.
