New York<\/b>: Adam Rapoport editor-in-chief of Bon App\u00e9tit resigned on Monday over brown face photo that sparked anger and accusations of bias discriminatory culture at the Cond\u00e9 Nast-owned food magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, after Rapoport wrote a post for the Bon App\u00e9tit website regarding the protests sparked by George Floyd\u2019s death, the food writer Korsha Wilson took it to Twitter and allegedly accused the company of gaslighting women of colour. On Monday, many more accusations prompted online, sparked in part by a 2013 Instagram photo of Adam Rapoport in brown face as a Halloween costume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month, Bon App\u00e9tit won four awards at the American Society of Magazine Editor\u2019s National Magazine awards, including general excellence for service and lifestyle. Beyond magazine print, the brand has grown a successful Youtube channel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The controversy sheds new lights to the problem of representation in food media. And it will also be a blow up for the magazine and Cond\u00e9 Nast, which had recently counted Bon App\u00e9tit as a surprise success story, especially resonating with the younger audiences magazines are desperate for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
