Ginia Bellafante (born March 31, 1965) is an American critic and columnist for The New York Times.
[5] Bellafante's New York Times review in 2011 of Game of Thrones was criticized by some as sexist for suggesting that only sexual content might motivate women to watch a complex fantasy story.
[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In April 2020, Bellafante came under fire for linking Fox News's and, in particular, Sean Hannity's, coverage of COVID-19 to a New York man's death.
Some considered several parts of the story misleading; in particular, remarks by Hannity reported in the article were made after the cruise had already begun.
[14][15] Bellafante is a native of Long Island, and lives in New York City with her husband and their son.
