- Wintour, the Met Gala’s lead chairperson since 1995, publicly supported Galliano’s decision but is facing criticism and accusations of being out of touch for initially backing the designer.
- Insiders at Condé Nast expressed embarrassment and concern over the handling of the situation, with some staff feeling unable to challenge Wintour’s judgment on the matter.
