Five months after THR published Rebecca Keegan’s 8.14.24 hit piece on Sasha Stone, which I described and commented on the very same day, Racket News’ respected reporter Matt Taibbi has jumped into the fray. Which is fine — better late than never.

I’m not going to recap Taibbi’s article chapter and verse, but he covers the whole messy affair, deftly and dryly and without using the terms “woke Stasi” or “woke terror” or anything in that general realm.

He basically trashes Keegan and her THR bosses for behaving like cloddish dickhead assassins…for whacking Sasha like some dude on The Sopranos by disingenuously pretending to take her facetious “white power!” tweet seriously, and then by calling around and basically poisoning her brand among distributors and award-season marketers and ad-buyers, and essentially assuring that her $200K annual income would be whittled down to almost nothing.
