Ulta announced it is suspending its advertising partnership with Teen Vogue after decade-old anti-Asian tweets from the media outlet s new editor-in-chief, Alexi McCammond, resurfaced.
A former Axios political reporter, McCammond wrote a string of offensive tweets in 2011 when she was still a teen student that mocked the intelligence and looks of Asians.
Last week, after McCammond was named editor-in-chief for Teen Vogue, a Condé Nast publication, those tweets recirculated on social media and led to widespread condemnation. Some questioned Teen Vogue’s decision to hire her, while others called for her resignation.
Teen Vogue s newly appointed editor in chief isn t slated to start until March 24, but she has already issued two apologies this week and has drawn the ire of her soon-to-be staff, advertisers and celebrities. Alexi McCammond, who was a political reporter at Axios before being appointed to lead the Condé Nast-owned progressive magazine last week, tweeted a lengthy apology on Wednesday addressing concerns over racist, anti-Asian tweets she sent in 2011 and 2012. The apology follows one that she issued Monday over the same controversy. McCammond s hiring came amid a rise of attacks against Asians and Asian Americans and sparked outrage internally and externally to Teen Vogue.
