Why Was Andy Warhol Shot in His Office?

In June 1968, Andy Warhol was in his New York City office, known to many as “The Factory,” when Valorie Solanas arrived and shot the artist. The shooting caused major internal damage that some say resulted in Warhol's death nearly 20 years later. It changed his life forever. But why did she shoot him? In this episode of "New York Gritty," host Sal Bono explores what provoked her and led her to violence. #InsideEdition

Lena Dunham played her in American Horror Story. “Cult” And now I can see why. We’ll leave it at that. She looks a lot more like her then Lily. Evan Peters made a great Andy Warhol but honestly? I don’t think there’s a role Evan COULDN’T play. He could play a piece of wood and make it seem convincing. In the same season there is an episode where they reveal that Valerie Salano and her “Scum” squad were actually the real Zodiac killer….s.?… Because Valerie would be out in rural Vallejo and Lake Berryessa in 1968 and 1969 stalking teenagers in the dead of night…. the same time she was in jail for shooting Warhol. 🤦🏼‍♀️… I guess she teleported.
