Cosmpolitan has pulled their Bachelor cover. 😬 Here's why:
published on Monday. “We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, and any cause that fights to end injustices for people of color.”Pels explained that she and her team “had many long discussions about how we wanted to address this issue.” The magazine had already printed Fuller and Weber’s Costa Rica photo shoot in its March 2020 issue, but the editor has since chosen not to move forward with the online version.
“Ultimately what felt right was choosing not to publish the digital cover on our website or social feeds, and simply being honest with you, the audience we respect, about what happened and where we stand,” she wrote.Pels said in the letter that her team was unaware of Fuller’s past “until a few weeks ago,” long after the medical sales rep, 26, and the pilot, 28, filmed Monday’s episode.
“It’s been reported that what she modeled for was actually a Marlin Lives Matter organization focused on preventing white and blue marlin from being overfished, which used ‘white lives matter’ and ‘blue lives matter’ messaging on its promotional shirts and hats,” she continued. “In my view, the nature of the organization is neither here nor there — both phrases and the belief systems they represent are rooted in racism and therefore problematic.
