Vogue Editor-in-Chief Dame Anna Wintour has admitted to letting 'hurtful and intolerant behavior' go unchecked during her 32-year reign at the fashion magazine, as well as not doing enough to champion black staffers and designers.
The admissions came as part of a company-wide memo Wintour authored to her staff last Thursday amid nationwide unrest and protests calling for racial equality, following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody on Memorial Day.
'I want to start by acknowledging your feelings and expressing my empathy towards what so many of you are going through: sadness, hurt, and anger too,' Wintour began.

So? Resign and shut up.
Exactly. Talk is cheap!
I bet they’re pop right back with “This isn’t enough.” Then theywill name a high (or higher) dollar figure.
Take your hair dresser and head out of Paris before it is too late!
It’s risible, because people who work for Vogue and similar magazines are probably the bitchiest, cattiest and most hyper-critical people on the planet. Anna’s got plenty of company all through her ranks.
What an arrogant, disgusting person.
She’s only saying this because the unflattering memoir is coming out (by a black gay man).
See my tagline.
She needs to rid the world of her white privilege.
Yeah? Dictation is cheap. What’s stopping you from giving your money away?
Of course, none of the abuses were directed to white employees. Even if she abused them they have no value anyway.
Will people still melt if they make eye contact with her?
Better still she should light herself on fire as a good will gesture.
One of the most despised women in fashion. From what I’ve read she sounds terrifying.
Yeah, well, no wonder since she's part of the cabal that foisted the Mooch as a "fashion" icon upon the world.
Part of the commie plan to destroy all positives in the world.
Does the owner of BET tv have any shows with white people or other races as the main characters?
No one stopped her.
all guilty privileged whites line up on the left. Normal people on the right.
She isn’t serious unless she commits suicide.
Just trying to stay ahead of the zeitgeist....
No, and publisher Conde Nast didn’t stop the editor of Bon Appetit from abusing his staff either.
