NEW YORK - Teen Vogue has chosen Versha Sharma, a top editor at NowThis, to replace Alexi McCammond as editor in chief after a swirl of controversy over McCammond's past anti-Asian and homophobic tweets.
Sharma takes over May 24 at the digital-only publication after McCammond and the Conde Nast title parted ways before her appointment took effect.
âI am incredibly excited and grateful for this awesome opportunity,â the 34-year-old Sharma tweeted of Monday's announcement.
