LifeZette is a conservative American website founded in 2015 by conservative political commentator Laura Ingraham and businessman Peter Anthony.[2] In January 2018, Ingraham confirmed that she had sold the majority stake in LifeZette to The Katz Group, owned by Canadian billionaire Daryl Katz.[3]

LifeZette is based in Washington, D.C.[4] As of 2015, Maureen Mackey was its managing editor and Peter Anthony was its chief executive officer.[5] As was the case with several online-only opinion and commentary outlets, the site received criticism for promoting the Vincent Foster and Seth Rich conspiracy theories in the run-up to the 2016 United States presidential election.[6][7]
