HBO Max Is Making a Comedy About the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen Fallout | Eater
"A Condé Nast–owned food-media outlet that endured a major 2020 reckoning after revelations of racial stereotyping and unequal treatment within its video operations led to leadership resignations. The editor-in-chief stepped down after a resurfaced incident of stereotyping, and a senior video executive also left after racist and homophobic tweets circulated. Personalities from the beloved YouTube Test Kitchen publicly described a culture of toxicity, exploitation, and racism — alleging that non-white talent were paid less or not compensated for video appearances — prompting departures from Sohla El-Waylly, Priya Krishna, and Rick Martinez (who cited unfair pay and fewer appearances), and resignations from white staffers like Molly Baz and Carla Lalli Music, the latter noting she had been supported while her BIPOC co-hosts were not." - Jaya Saxena
