Teen Vogue Editor Resigns After Fury Over Racist Tweets
- March 18, 2021,
Condé Nast, Teen Vogue’s publisher, announced the abrupt turn on Thursday in an internal email that was sent amid pressure from the publication’s staff, readers and at least two advertisers, just two weeks after the company had appointed her to the position.
“After speaking with Alexi this morning, we agreed that it was best to part ways, so as to not overshadow the important work happening at Teen Vogue,” Stan Duncan, the chief people officer at Condé Nast, said in the email, which was obtained by The New York Times.
In a statement included in the email, Ms. McCammond said her “past tweets have overshadowed the work I’ve done to highlight the people and issues that I care about.”
“I wish the talented team at Teen Vogue the absolute best moving forward,” she said.
Ms. McCammond, 27, established herself as a prominent political reporter last year. She covered President Biden’s campaign for Axios and was a contributor to MSNBC and NBC. In 2019, she was named the emerging journalist of the year by the National Association of Black Journalists. She would have been the third Black woman to serve as Teen Vogue’s top editor, after Lindsay Peoples Wagner and Elaine Welteroth.
Her job status became shaky days after Condé Nast named her to the position, when the offensive tweets she had posted as a teenager in 2011 resurfaced. They included comments on the appearance of Asian features, derogatory stereotypes about Asians and slurs for gay people. Ms. McCammond had apologized for the tweets in 2019 and deleted them. Screenshots of the tweets were recirculated on social media after her hiring at Teen Vogue was announced on March 5.
Within days, more than 20 staff members at Teen Vogue posted a note on social media saying they had made a complaint to company leaders about the tweets, and Ms. McCammond apologized for them again both publicly and in meetings with Condé Nast staff. “I’ve apologized for my past racist and homophobic tweets and will reiterate that there’s no excuse for perpetuating those awful stereotypes in any way,” she wrote in a March 10 letter posted on her Twitter account. “I am so sorry to have used such hurtful and inexcusable language.”
As the criticism of her hiring mounted, Ulta Beauty and Burt’s Bees, major advertisers with Teen Vogue, suspended their campaigns with the publication.
The scrutiny of her tweets has come at a time of heightened concern about violence and harassment directed against Asian-Americans. On Wednesday, after eight people were killed in shootings in Atlanta, including six Asian women, Condé Nast’s chief executive, Roger Lynch, sent a memo to the company’s staff that said that one in 10 of its employees identified as Asian.
“Our teams, our families and our friends have all been affected by the rise in hate crimes toward Asian people and it’s unacceptable,” Mr. Lynch wrote in the memo, which was reviewed by The Times.

Damn.
People need to know that once they build a public persona, they need to delete all social media profiles made prior and start anew.
She'll bounce back though.
A question though, isn't racism a system?
We need to start checking people with the language they use.
I can see "anti-asian" tweets. Not "racist" tweets, unless I'm wrong.

She will definitely bounce back.
In OP it was mentioned that she was filling in for Joy Reid. CTG is also mentioned in this thread, both of them overcame being "outed" for past behavior.
If she has the right backers, she will be back.
I have to go look up what Alexi actually tweeted.
Everybody who envisions a life in media or as a public figure should delete their old tweets every few years, & get a person to manage social media the way fan clubs used to operate.

The lowlife talentless scumbag Sarah Silverman openly used asian slurs in comedy routines and sketches. When she gets officially canceled for good, I'll take the Asian watchdog groups seriously.

They're gonna press him, and make him look bad.
The same way Ed Gordon pressed Omarosa a few years back at the convention. Trump panics and stumbles when the interviewer isn't fawning over him, and asks real questions.
As objective journalists, I don't see how they could turn down the Republican nominee, though.
The segment of Black voters who would even consider voting for him, are definitely not people who read serious journalism and reporting. So he's gonna look bad here for nothing.

You’re right. They’ve had all candidates including Bush Jr. it’s Trump bro. They got to get him out of here! I mean he should be there but inviting him could be a major blow to nabj. Like he be clowning black journalists and stuff. Folks aren’t going to take that lightly. You know it’s bad when Jacque Reid is in the comments mad. Hopefully they do go go tough on him. We will see

If you made judgements based on the leanings of those outlets, it doesn't add up that all 3 would throw softball questions.
Basing judgement based on who their spouses are is funny.
