Talia has also confidently maintained on Twitter that she was told she was fired for the letter, even though Yelp's CEO wrote that her dismissal was unrelated to it. I'm personally more inclined to believe her. It would be far too coincidental that she was let go immediately after the letter but the letter was not involved in any way. Once you've established that part of the CEO's response was fabricated, the rest of it doesn't seem trustworthy either.
