Based in New York City, Gossip Cop investigated entertainment stories that were published in magazines and newspapers, as well as on the web, to ascertain whether they are true or false.

"[5] Along with one-time co-founder Dan Abrams, Lewittes launched the site on July 29, 2009 with appearances on Good Morning America[6] and The Today Show.

[7] As a result, Gossip Cop received a tremendous amount of publicity, including features in The New York Times[8] and People Magazine.

[10] In 2019, Gossip Cop was acquired by Quillt Media, formerly Gateway Blend,[11] from Lewittes, who independently owned the company until August of that year.

Suggest continued to produce content debunking tabloid stories, as Gossip Cop had, until September 2022 when the practice was discontinued completely.
