Holding It Against Her Forever? Teen Vogue Editor, Alexi McCammond Out After Fury Over Old Tweets

The newly-appointed Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue has resigned over anti-Asian tweets she posted while she was in college nearly a decade ago. 27 year old Alexi McCammond, a rising star in the journalism industry and the National Association of Black Journalists' 2019 emerging journalist of the year released a statement via Twitter earlier today announcing her decision to part ways with Condé Nast, the parent company of Teen Vogue.

In her tweet announcing her resignation, McCammond apologized again, saying "I should not have tweeted what I did and I have taken full responsibility for that. I look at my work and growth in the years since, and have redoubled my commitment to growing in the years to come as both a person and as a professional."

McCammond's resignation comes several days after a few disgruntled staff members at Teen Vogue' sent a letter to Condé Nast's chief content officer Anna Wintour and its CEO Roger Lynch. McCammond deleted the tweets two years ago, and apologized for them then, and Conde Nast says they were also aware of them and her apology when they hired her. But increased pressure from the Asian American Journalist Association and Asian American civil rights groups prompted McCammond's resignation.
