}}Kelly Oxford is a Canadian author and screenwriter.[1]

Career

In 1996, Oxford dropped out of Mount Royal University after one semester.[2] She started blogging as a means of daily productivity and self-publishing. She later worked as a waitress and at a shoe store.[2]

In 2001, Oxford became a full-time stay-at-home mother and began focusing on her online writing and scriptwriting. She started an anonymous blog in 2002,[2] joined Twitter in 2009, and gained a large following,[3] eventually attracting the attention of celebrities including Diablo Cody and Roger Ebert and being contacted by a number of agents.[3] She sold a television script to CBS, to be executive produced by Jessica Alba, based on her life as a mother in Calgary.[3] She then wrote another pilot that was bought by NBC. Neither script has been produced.[3] Oxford moved to Los Angeles in 2012.[3]

In 2013 Oxford published a semi-autobiographical book, Everything Is Perfect When You're a Liar, which became a New York Times bestseller.[4]

In 2014 Oxford appeared on the reality show Candidly Nicole, starring Lionel Richie's daughter Nicole Richie.[5]

Following the release of the Donald Trump and Billy Bush recording during the 2016 presidential election, Oxford tweeted a request for women to "tweet me your first assaults", using the hashtag #notokay, and within days received 27 million views and responses. The response was so large that it received coverage by The New York Times and other media.[6][7][8] The #notokay campaign was a precursor to the #metoo hashtag which ignited the Me Too movement in October 2017, with both movements focused on solidarity among victims of sexual abuse.[9]

Oxford and Molly McNearney, head writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, developed a semiautobiographical comedy for TV Land in early 2016. The pair would write and star in the series.[10]

On April 18, 2017, Oxford released her second book, When You Find Out the World is Against You: And Other Funny Memories About Awful Moments.[11] While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of the book's launch, she revealed that it was during a kitchen table conversation with Kimmel and his head writer (and wife) McNearney that the segment "Mean Tweets" originated, after she and Kimmel read cruel tweets to each other in a humorous way, trying to outdo each other.[12]

In March 2017, Oxford was developing a 1990s-set teen drama series for Hulu, with her The Disaster Artist collaborators James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg producing.[13]

Personal life

Oxford and her husband James were together for 18 years until separating in late 2016.[14]
