Tina Dupuy is a nationally syndicated op-ed columnist, freelance investigative journalist, comedian and on-air commentator. Dupuy is the former managing editor for the blog Crooks and Liars.

She freelances for Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, Fast Company, LA Weekly, Newsday, Mother Jones (magazine), and Skeptic (U.S. magazine). Her weekly op-ed column is nationally syndicated through Daryl Cagle's website Cagle Cartooons. Dupuy's writing has also been published in books including a collection of short stories called What Was I Thinking? (St. Martin's Press, 2009) and the English text book Exploring Language 13th Edition (Longman, 2011).

After The Tampa Tribune used an article of Dupuy's without paying for it in 2009, she created a YouTube video to shame the paper into paying $75 for the piece.[1][2][3]

Tina has spoken openly about being born in the cult The Children of God and subsequently being raised in foster care in California.[4]

She has been a poster child for Alcoholics Anonymous. In a spoken-interview released by This American Life, she discussed her childhood and reevaluated her self-identification as an alcoholic.[5]
