First Launched: December 21, 2011 1:27 PM EST Credit: Getty Premium AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- Caption Beyonce creates day 2 in the V Festival at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, England on August 21, 2011 The editor from the Nederlander fashion magazine remains fired following a publication used a racial slur to see Barbados-born Beyonce, departing a social media furor and compelling an annoyed response within the singer. Avoi Hoeke, editor of Jackie, as well as the magazines author mentioned in the joint statement on Facebook that any susipicious activity regarding a racial slur although without malicious intentions was reason for Hoekes departure after eight years at the office. The slur was utilized inside an article regarding how to dress your daughter as being a pop star. Responding to critique that showed within the ocean, Hoeke mentioned at first that her standby time with the term was meant just like a joke. She then launched a Twitter item getting a far more explicit apology, saying she learned, 1. Dont publish bad jokes inside the magazine 2. Dont pretend bad jokes being funny. Sorry males. My bad. On Tuesday, Beyonce responded herself via Twitter: Your magazine can be a poor representation in the evolution of human rights! I have found you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! Rather than an positive article useful to Nederlander women, Beyonce mentioned Jackie thought we would print an item degrading to have an entire race. Thats your contribution with this world! She also ended her tweet by getting an indelicate phrase. Hoeke mentioned she wasn't aware the word she used am loaded because you participate in it constantly on tv and radio. By Wednesday, the Facebook apology had attracted hundreds of comments, many condemning Hoeke however, many saying the response was overblown. Copyright 2011 with the Connected Press.
