We thought the worst was over but apparently not. The owner of Dutch based publication, JACKIE has done an about face in response to Rihanna’s outrage for the article printed about her in their latest issue. This statement was issued by Yves Gijrath:
“[T]here is nothing wrong in the magazine. [Hoeke] presented it as a joke, but it most certainly was not a joke. It was an interpretation [of a fashion style]. [...] She should have said: “we did not realize this interpretation is such a touchy subject. We never meant any harm and offer our sincere and upright apologies.” But because of all the fuss, Eva started to wiggle in all directions, and therefore we have come to the conclusion her credibility has been undermined.”
“We will not be silenced. People are totally off limits when calling both the magazine Jackie, and Eva Hoeke racist. Jackie is even produced by an editorial staff that is of mixed origins.”
