New York Times Reporter Agrees That Paper 'Quietly Outed' James Franco

Gawker's J.K. Trotter noticed Wednesday that a recent article in the New York Times subtly mentioned that James Franco is sharing a Brooklyn apartment with a close friend, prompting some to wonder if the newspaper had indirectly outed the Academy Award nominated actor.

At least one other Times reporter thinks that's exactly what went down.

After Trotter's piece was published, the Times' Liam Stack wrote on Twitter that he believes his employer "just quietly outed James Franco."
