Jackie Magazine Editor Resigns Following Racist Rihanna Incident

Dutch magazine editor Eva Hoeke has reportedly resigned following yesterday’s race scandal, which saw her magazine Jackie run a story about superstar signer Rihanna titled ‘De N***abitch’.

The Barbados-born beauty was understandably upset at the disgusting piece, which, on top of its racial slurs, suggested that Rihanna dressed like a pornstar and wrongly described her as Jamaican-born and not Barbados, so she took to Twitter to rip into the magazine and it’s editor, Eva Hoeke.

Writing through her official Twitter account, Rihanna wrote a scathing message to the editor, saying: “I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print!”

She continued: “There are 1000's of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That's your contribution to this world!

“You put two words together, with the intent of abasement that made no sense ... 'N***a Bitch'?!....Well with all respect, on behalf of my race, here are my two words for you ... FUCK YOU!!!”

Hoeke tried to respond, saying that the incident was “stupid, painful and sucks for all concerned”, and that it was a joke with no malice intended, but she has now resigned with immediate effect. Rihanna 1, racist magazine 0.
