Originally Published 2 years ago — by New York Post
Ty Warner, the billionaire creator of Beanie Babies, has expressed his willingness to reconnect with Lina Trivedi, a former employee who played a significant role in fueling the plush toy's craze. Trivedi had called out Warner for diminishing her contributions in a recent interview. Warner, who had previously criticized a film about his company's collapse, now wishes to catch up with Trivedi and wishes her the best. Trivedi, who left the company in 1998, wants to explore reuniting with Warner to revitalize the Beanie Babies brand by updating the famous poems that accompanied the toys.
