Bon Appétit magazine’s top editor, Adam Rapoport, resigned his position Monday night after growing calls from former and current staffers and contributors for him to step down. “I am stepping down as editor in chief of Bon Appétit to reflect on the work that I need to do as a human being and to allow Bon Appétit to get to a better place,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I’ve been pushed in front of video as a display of diversity,” she wrote in her Instagram stories. “I plan to do everything in my power to hold the EIC [editor in chief], and systems that hold up actions like this, accountable.”Senior food editor Molly Baz posted a message of solidarity on Instagram. “I’m appalled and insulted by the EIC’s choice to embrace brownface in the photo making the rounds,” he wrote.
