RadioOnFire.com - Diddy is currently doing some damage control after allegations of racism have been levied against Revolt CEO Roma Khanna. The accusations stem from a letter sent to the Revolt board from a former employee who cited Khanna for racism in both firing practices and interpersonal interactions with Revolt staff.
The letter claimed that Khanna explicitly admitted to being intimidated by Black women. The former employee also asserted that Khanna was insensitive when discussing Meek Mill's crusade for prison reform by stating, "Maybe the conversation isn't about prison reform, maybe it's about how to stay out of jail, black boy." The letter also claimed that of the 30 percent Revolt staffers that were laid off, 99 percent of them were Black.
However, Diddy came out to back his CEO against these allegations. He told TMZ:
"This story is inaccurate. We are a Black-owned and operated network and we have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind. Revolt is led by a woman of color who is expected to uphold the same standards that I hold for all of my companies. After an extensive review led by outside counsel, there were no findings of deliberate misconduct. At this time, Roma Khanna will remain as CEO of REVOLT."
Adding:
"Regarding the recent restructure, Revolt’s diversity remains unchanged. We are 67% ethnically diverse, with more than 60% of the senior leadership being women. Any suggestion that any company of mine negatively targets African Americans is absurd and offensive.”
