The chief editor of the now infamous Jackie magazine, which made headlines yesterday after an article titled "N*GGAB*TCH" ran in its most recent issue, has resigned.
We've got the Dutch editor's statement and details inside....
Eva Hoeke (pictured above), EIC of Dutch magazine Jackie for the past 8 years, came under enormous fire yesterday when she half-heartedly apologized for her "N*GGAB*TCH" article which reference Rihanna and generalized black women. While she said it was written in a joking way, the black community in the Netherlands, and many all over the world, were still outraged.
Rihanna responded in the most ladylike way possible to Eva's article which talked about Rih's "ghetto ass" and porn heels. And called her the "ultimate n*gger b*tch"...as if it were a compliment.
A Dutch news site reports today that Hoeke has walked away from her position as a result of the "commotion" caused by the article. And Eva says she was maybe too quick to offer up her reasoning for publishing the term.
Her statement loosely translated into English:
"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."
Each one teach one.
