Jane Larkworthy has been suspended, pending further investigations, from her position as beauty editor-at-large at The Cut. The suspension comes after a comment written by Jane on a photograph of Bon Appétit editor Adam Rapoport dressed in brownface was unearthed.
Stella Bugbee, editor-in-chief at The Cut, released a statement on Twitter saying that this "does not represent the values of The Cut, and we’re sorry for the pain it has caused, in particular for the Latinx community...This comment runs counter to the inclusivity we aim to foster at The Cut, both in our workplace and in our storytelling. We are suspending Jane while we investigate and determine the course forward."
