        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anna Wintour will not be ousted amid Condé Nast&#8217;s ongoing diversity scandal, execs confirmed Friday.</p><p>The under-fire publisher is standing firmly behind the embattled longtime Vogue editor — its most famous employee — following her <strong>admission of &#8220;hurtful and intolerant behavior&#8221;</strong> at the fashion bible.</p><p>As Page Six first reported this week, Wintour acknowledged in a note to staff that “it can’t be easy to be a Black employee at Vogue,&#8221; saying that it had not “found enough ways to elevate and give space to Black editors, writers, photographers, designers and other creators.”</p><p>We&#8217;re told that Wintour called a meeting Friday after recognizing how upset employees were, during which she talked about making &#8220;actionable changes.&#8221; This was followed by a tense town hall meeting with Condé CEO Roger Lynch, which Wintour apparently did not join.</p><p>During the all-staff meeting with Lynch, employees immediately asked questions about Wintour&#8217;s status at the company, where she is chief creative director.&nbsp;Asked if she was going to be ousted following days of intense media speculation, Lynch said: “There is no truth to that,&#8221; Page Six is told.</p><p>A source said: “The first thing they addressed was Anna&#8217;s possible departure. Dannielle Carrig from comms called the reports of her departure a &#8216;strategic distraction.&#8217;</p><p>&#8220;But someone else said, &#8216;This is what everyone is asking and wanting to know – Why isn’t Anna leaving? Do you endorse her behavior? It’s not just one statement. It’s the way she lives and has always led this organization. A movie was made about her behavior and it was applauded, she did not learn, she has not changed. I find it insulting that you are saying she has learned and changed her behavior&#8217;.&#8221;</p><p>Plus, when asked about Wintour’s controversial role on a company diversity committee, Lynch doubled down and said she would also remain part of that group.</p><p>&#8220;I think she can be an incredibly positive force for change. Like I said earlier: Many of us can look back at our history and think of things we should’ve done differently,&#8221; he said.</p><p>&#8220;The real question is: Are you in a position to contribute and make change now? I think there are very few people in the world who can have the influence to change the culture … than Anna,&#8221; he said.</p><p>Over the past week, the publisher <strong>has seen the departure</strong> of Bon Appétit’s editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport, who resigned after a 2013 photograph emerged of him and his wife in brownface.</p><p>Complaints were then made that black staff did not get paid equally for their work.</p><p>Top video head Matt Duckor then resigned after current and former employees resurfaced old comments he made comments about Asians and gay people.</p><p>Lynch said: “Every single one of us on this call has said something that you’re ashamed of.</p><p>&#8220;The real question is: Have you learned from them? Have you taken ownership from it? And clearly: How serious was it?”</p><p>Lynch added Condé would scrutinize its internal company makeup by &#8220;accelerating our first ever diversity and inclusion report to be published later this summer.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
