Men\u2019s fashion magazine GQ<\/a> edited and subsequently deleted an article criticizing Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zaslav this week following complaints from his team.<\/p>\n

The piece by freelancer Jason Bailey blasted the powerful media executive for his handling of the company\u2019s entertainment projects, particularly Warner Brothers\u2019 films.<\/p>\n

In the piece, Bailey called the CEO “perhaps the most hated man in Hollywood,” a line that was removed in subsequent edits requested by someone on Zaslav\u2019s team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

GQ deleted the piece entirely after Bailey requested his byline be removed from the piece following pushback from the Zaslav camp<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Washington Post reported<\/a> on the timeline of the GQ article\u2019s short lifespan, claiming that anonymous sources confirmed how a Zaslav spokesman “complained to GQ about the story soon after it was published.”<\/p>\n

The original piece included Bailey\u2019s criticism of the media mogul over “the layoffs at the Turner Classic Movies channel that outraged prominent directors and other superfans and his decision to not release finished movies such as \u2018Batgirl\u2019 for tax purposes,” the Post wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bailey also compared Zaslav to the fictional, truculent “Succession” patriarch<\/a> Logan Roy.<\/p>\n

The Post provided archive sources to the original and edited versions of the piece, noting there were “significant changes that had the effect of softening its tone.”<\/p>\n

The piece claimed, “A line calling Zaslav \u2018the most hated man in Hollywood was deleted. The \u2018Succession\u2019 comparison was removed, as was a segment where Bailey called the reality shows that Zaslav oversaw while running Discovery \u2018reality slop.\u2019” Other criticisms were removed as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bailey told the Post that he requested GQ remove his byline from the piece once the changes were implemented, though he said an editor told him the piece would not stay on the site if his name was no longer attached to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By Monday, the article was gone.<\/p>\n

Bailey explained to the paper, “I wrote what I felt was the story I was hired to write. When I was asked to rewrite it after publication, I declined. The rewrite that was done was not to my satisfaction, so I asked to have my name removed and was told that the option there was to pull the article entirely, and I was fine with that.”<\/p>\n

The paper claimed a Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson provided a statement justifying the complaint, saying they made it because “Bailey didn\u2019t ask the company for comment before publishing.”<\/p>\n

They said, “The freelance reporter made no attempt to reach out to Warner Bros Discovery<\/a> to fact-check the substance of the piece before publishing\u2014a standard practice for any reputable news outlet. As is also standard practice, we contacted the outlet and asked that numerous inaccuracies be corrected. In the process of doing so, the editors ultimately decided to pull the piece.”<\/p>\n

Bailey confirmed to The Post that he did not ask for comment but disputed the claim that there were “numerous inaccuracies.”<\/p>\n

On Twitter, Bailey corroborated the claims made in the Post piece, stating, “This is an accurate summary of what happened to the David Zaslzav piece I wrote for GQ.”<\/p>\n

GQ didn’t respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
