This is such a crazy story all together but I can’t help but to feel slightly bad, thinking this may have all been a misunderstanding because of the language barrier. I mean they are in another country that DOESN’T speak our language and doesn’t live in our culture to understand the slang. On the other hand, some words should just be universally known as WRONG. I know plenty of Spanish curse words and I can’t speak a lick of Spanish otherwise! LOL! Anyway, Eva Hoeke, the editor-in-chief of Dutch mag Jackie that Rihanna blasted yesterday, has resigned from her position after 8 years with the company. Very unfortunate ending to a mistake that should have been avoided. Get the details below.
In her resignation letter, Eva stated the extreme backlash is her reason for stepping down:
“Because of the enormous pressure from social media, I can promise improvement in terms of language used in future issues of Jackie.
Previously, I offered rectification. As I now come to the conclusion that rectification is not the right solution, I am departing.
“The term ‘nigga bitch” has come over from America and we have only this to describe this particular style of clothes that we can try to interpret.
“After eight years, with my heart and soul, I have worked for Jackie. I realize that these errors – although no malicious intent – is a reason to leave.”
