New 'Teen Vogue' EIC In Hot Water with Her Staffers After Her Tweets About Asians Resurface

Alexi McCammond, who is slated to be "Teen Vogue's" new editor-in-chief, has run afoul with her new subordinates because of resurfaced tweets that mocked Asians. She made the statements while in college.

In a statement posted on Twitter, more than 20 staff members have signed on to denounce McCammond's years-old tweets, where she said things like, "now googling how to not wake up with swollen asian eyes..." and "give me a 2/10 on my chem problem, cross out all of my work and don't explain what I did wrong..thanks a lot stupid asian T.A. you're great."

The staffers' statement said they have "built our outlet's reputation as a voice for justice and change—we take immense pride in our work and in creating an inclusive environment. That’s why we have written a letter to management at Condé Nast about the recent hire of Alexi McCammond as our new editor-in-chief in light of her past racist and homophobic tweets."

"We’ve heard the concerns of our readers, and we stand with you," the statement continued. "In a moment of historically high anti-Asian violence and amid the on-going struggles of the LGBTQ community, we as the staff of Teen Vogue fully reject those sentiments. We are hopeful that an internal conversation will prove fruitful in maintaining the integrity granted to us by our audience."

Mumford & Sons' banjo player Winston Marshall 'takes time away to examine his blindspots': Brexit millionaire's son is forced to apologise for tweet praising right-wing writer Andy Ngo

The banjo player from folk rock group Mumford & Sons announced today he is 'taking time away from the band' to 'examine my blindspots' after a Twitter pile-on for praising a controversial right-wing writer.

Winston Marshall, the son of Brexit-supporting millionaire Sir Paul Marshall, was attacked on social media after tweeting support for US journalist Andy Ngo over the weekend, calling him a 'brave man' and hailing his 'important' book Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan To Destroy Democracy.

After a barrage of tweets accusing him of 'endorsing fascism', the band held crisis talks on Sunday, after which bandmates Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane, along with their management, reportedly asked Marshall to leave the group.

A source claimed that Marshall's staunchly right-wing views had been causing 'tension' in the band for some time, and that the decision was made to let him go in order to protect the band's 'image' in the traditionally left-leaning world of folk music.

Early this morning, Marshall, whose investor father is worth £630m, said he was leaving the group after 14 years - leading one critic of cancel culture to write: 'Never appease the hate mob, you should have stood by your words'.

Marshall, 33, said in a statement posted on Twitter: 'Over the past few days I have come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed.

'I have offended not only a lot of people I don't know, but also those closest to me, including my bandmates and for that I am truly sorry.

'As a result of my actions I am taking time away from the band to examine my blindspots.

'For now, please know that I realise how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hateful, divisive behaviour. I apologise, as this was not at all my intention.'
