Condé Nast employees say Black celebrities like Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion were rejected from videos based on a 'racist' vetting process
- Business Insider spoke with 13 current and former employees of Condé Nast Entertainment, the famed publisher's video-production entity, about the process through which videos are pitched and produced.
- Sources said this vetting process, which measures the various parts of a pitch against historical data, consistently rejected video pitches that would feature people of color and topics about nonwhite communities.
- In recent weeks, some of Condé Nast Entertainment's 400-plus employees have rallied against this process, according to recordings of company meetings, as a larger reckoning about race takes hold in the
media industry. - Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch recently advised caution when it came to the scale check, according to a recording reviewed by Business Insider. "Whatever system they use for scalability, AI systems have inherent prejudicial things within them," he said.
