Jackie Magazine’s editor, Eva Hoeke stepped down after she felt the heat for letting a story about Rihanna in her magazine… you know that derogatory slur they thought was funny and clever. Well now the publisher thinks she should have stood by the story and not resigned...ok?
“[T]here is nothing wrong in the magazine. [Hoeke] presented it as a joke, but it most certainly was not a joke. It was an interpretation [of a fashion style]. […] She should have said: “we did not realize this interpretation is such a touchy subject. We never meant any harm and offer our sincere and upright apologies.” But because of all the fuss, Eva started to wiggle in all directions, and therefore we have come to the conclusion her credibility has been undermined.”
“(W)e will not be silenced. People are totally off limits when calling both the magazine Jackie and Eva Hoeke racist. Jackie is even produced by an editorial staff that is of mixed origins.”
