Estée Lauder has fired John Demsey, a senior executive at the makeup company, for an offensive Instagram post on his personal account that used a racial slur.
The company said Monday that Demsey's termination was the "result of his recent Instagram posts, which do not reflect the values of the Estée Lauder Companies," adding that the post caused "widespread offense."
Estée Lauder (EL) said Demsey, who has been with the brand for about 30 years, will be leaving his role "this week." A replacement wasn't named.
