In simultaneous statements released on Twitter and Instagram on Thursday, Priya Krishna, Sohla El-Waylly, and Rick Martinez announced that they’ve left the publication’s enormously popular video series.
Ryan Walker-Hartshorn, who was the assistant to former editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport, and Jesse Sparks, an editorial assistant, have left the magazine, as well. Walker-Hartshorn — who had pushed to make it more inclusive during her time there — announced this on Instagram, writing, “I attempted to secure a position at BA that reflected the work I’ve already done … But it seems there is not an appropriate role for me at the magazine. So it’s time to move on.
Krishna and El-Waylly will still work on Bon Appétit’s print product, as will Baz, she wrote, “for the time being.” In a separate announcement on Thursday, Condé Nast revealed that it has appointed Sonia Chopra, from Eater, to be the magazine’s new executive editor and that an announcement on the new editor-in-chief is still forthcoming.
Without them? Yes.
