Tabitha Soren (born Tabitha Lee Sornberger; August 19, 1967) is a former reporter for MTV News. She is perhaps best known as the public face for MTV's "Choose or Lose" campaign designed to inspire young people to vote.
Soren was born in San Antonio, Texas. As a minor note of pre-MTV fame, Soren was a 19-year-old college student when she appeared in a 1987 video for "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)" by the Beastie Boys while studying at New York University.
Soren married author Michael Lewis in 1997, and they have three children: Quinn Tallulah (b. 2000), Dixie (2002), and Walker Jack (2007). Soren is now known as Tabitha Lee Lewis.
Clips of Soren's interviews with Tupac Shakur were included in the 2003 documentary film Tupac: Resurrection.[1] Soren is mentioned in the 1998 film American History X, in which Daniel Vinyard (played by Edward Furlong) mentions his hatred of her during a rant on the various enemies of white supremacy and Neo-Nazis, accusing her of being a Zionist and deriding her and MTV as pigs who tell everybody they should get along.[2]
In October 2008, she interviewed Ralph Nader for C-SPAN in front of a banner for the Commonwealth Club of California.
