said it had identified several inaccuracies in the piece by Bailey after the piece had been prematurely published. “GQ regrets the editorial error that [led] to a story being published before it was ready,” the magazine said in a statement reported by several media outlets.
WBD’s main point of contention was that it had never been contacted by Bailey at any stage of the writing process, which is not the norm for any coverage, especially longer and in-depth profiles. “The freelance reporter made no attempt to reach out to Warner Bros. Discovery to fact-check the substance of the piece before publishing — a standard practice for any reputable news outlet,” WBD said in a statement. “As is also standard practice, we contacted the outlet and asked that numerous inaccuracies be corrected. In the process of doing so, the editors ultimately decided to pull the piece.
