Here’s 42 reasons why Liza Miller being publicly exposed for lying about her real age at Millennial won’t damage her on TV Land’s Younger!
- Josh knew and loves her anyway.
- Charles knew and loves her anyway!
- Quinn found out before investing in Millennial. She saw Liza’s lie as an empowering viral news story in the making.

- Liza’s close friend and Publisher of Millennial, Kelsey Peters, knew and has always supported her after the fact.

- Remember what Enzo spontaneously remarked, ‘Wow, she looks good for her age!’

- Like Liza told Diana Trout, if she hadn’t lied, she would have never worked there in the first place.
- Speaking of Diana, she’s already over it.
via GIPHY
- Getting away with the lie for years is a more intriguing news story long-term.
- Liza having to lie exposes rampant ageism in workplaces publicly.
- It’s all about shaping the next news cycle and Liza has considerable connections.
- The older generations will love the idea that a woman in her 40’s was needed to get a Millennial publication off the ground.
- In fact, they might see Liza as the real authority figure and Publisher at Millennial instead of Kelsey.

- ‘It’s only when you’ve lost everything, that you’re free to do anything.’ – Fight Club’s Tyler Durden
- One can say the lie burdened Liza Miller as much as it helped.
- Being exposed in the public eye involuntarily takes away the anxiety of making a choice about it.
- While some business partners might leave, new ones will form in their place.
- Liza Miller did not lose her editing skills when people found out she isn’t 27.
- The spirit remains the same, no matter what the age.
- George Carlin once said, ‘Some men are already old men in their twenties. It’s about attitude, a point of view, a way of thinking.’ The same applies here.
- Charles’ ex-wife can’t say he ran off with a younger woman anymore to paint a negative picture of both.
via GIPHY
- Similarly, a lot of Diana’s subconscious anger was that Charles fell for her same-age peer rather than a young assistant.
via GIPHY
- Publicity, even negative publicity, gets your brand talked about which is priceless.
- The personal name recognition could make Liza Miller bigger than the whole Millenial brand nationally.
- Liza’s real age might actually help should Charles’ ex-wife start a custody battle over their kids.
- The story will open the door for others who’ve lied under the same circumstances to share without shame.
- Liza Miller could become an inspirational symbol in society for gaming an unjustly discriminatory system.
- Zane and much of the office’s anger is that others secretly knew before them.
- Kelsey Peters once shed tears when Liza was being blackmailed to take another job in Season 5 of Younger.
via GIPHY
- Without knowing Liza’s real age, almost everyone was fooled. That’s a compliment if there ever was one.
- Liza is close to and protected by those that have the most power over her career. Though not untouchable, those in power will fight for her to stay.
- The fact Liza helped establish Millennial as trendy breaks the notion you have to be part of an age group to understand it.
- Liza was already told by Charles’ ex-wife she was the only Editor that ever understood her before The Debutante Ball. It can’t be taken back.
- Should the company choose to pretend they didn’t know and fire her, it’ll be transparent they’re playing the PR game. If Liza goes, Millennial goes down with her.
- Liza Miller holds the actual leverage if fired, as internal knowledge of her age would hold the company accountable in a court of law for discriminatory practice.
- Lauren Heller doesn’t seem genuinely angry with Liza, just playfully taunting her. Lauren will likely be over it quickly if she isn’t over the lie already.
via GIPHY
- The case makes the public rethink their perception of age as a whole in a positive light.
- The entire ordeal brought Liza back closer to Josh with a single phone call. Which is what she seems to truly want…
via GIPHY
- Quinn wanted the story out in the first place, she’ll likely look to cash in now that it’s out in the open.
- Maggie certainly doesn’t care, ‘the dark cloud’ of media attention doesn’t make her think any different of Liza.
via GIPHY
- If Liza decides to walk away, other fledging companies will offer her a position immediately to turn their fortunes around.
- Results matter to financial bottom lines more than superficial qualities. Age doesn’t change talent.
- Liza Miller can’t take it back even if she wanted… So why regret?
