OG BuzzFeed royalty, comedian, writer, creator, and certified internet legend KRISTIN CHIRICO came to Yenta and she held NOTHING back.

We are still processing.

We love her.

We know you will too.

We Yenta about:

• How Kristin spent the pandemic perfecting her nude photography (and why it absolutely obliterates sourdough as a hobby)

• Her meticulously organized nude archive: lingerie, filthy, and a category she describes only as "interactive" 🫣

• Why everyone should preemptively leak their own nudes so blackmail becomes literally impossible

• How the internet did a full 180 — people now leak nudes for publicity

• "I delete the duds" — Kristin's surprisingly inspiring philosophy on curation and self-confidence

• What it's actually like being OG BuzzFeed dynasty in the TikTok era

• Making viral TikToks with her partner Bri and why their chemistry is unhinged

• Being chronically online when your partner isn't — and how to protect someone you love from your digital footprint

• People recognizing Bri in real life and what that's like
