Tatsha Robertson, a former Senior Editor at PEOPLE has hit the magazine with a lawsuit filled with accusations of discrimination and racial bias. She was the only black editor. Also out of a company of 110 employees only 5 are black including Robertson. She claims PEOPLE is “a discriminatory organization run entirely by white people who intentionally focus the magazine on stories involving white people and white celebrities.”

Tatsha came to the People from a high-ranking position at ESSENCE, in 2010, and was told by executive editor Betsy Gleick, “You need to talk like everyone else here. You’re not at Essence anymore.”

Since 2010, 14 out of the 265 covers have been focused on African-American individuals. Tisk Tisk People Mag.
