Anne Hathaway makes a statement, walks out of Vanity Fair shoot in support of union protest
Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway made a bold statement as she walked out of a Vanity Fair photo shoot in support of the Condé Nast Union walkout. When she reached the venue where the photoshoot was to happen, she wasn’t aware of the protest. It was only after she reached that she was notified by a staffer from SAG-AFTRA about the same.
A source close to the actress said, “They hadn’t even started taking photos yet. Once Anne was made aware of what was going on, she just got up from hair and makeup and left.”
Meanwhile, close to 400 union members who work at Condé Nast are currently holding a 24-hour work stoppage to protest negotiation practices they claim are unlawful. Employees of Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, Allure, Condé Nast Entertainment, Architectural Digest, Glamour, Self, Teen Vogue and other Condé Nast publications walked out of offices and held a rally in front of the company’s offices in New York.
The protest coincided with the announcement of Oscars 2024 nominations.'There is no Ken without Barbie': Ryan Gosling calls out Oscar snub for Margot and Greta

As the protest gained momentum, videos and pictures were shared on the X platform where people could be heard saying, “Layoffs are out of fashion”, and “Say it loud, say it clear, winter’s extra cold this year.”
The said layoffs are a result of Condé Nast merging Pitchfork with men’s magazine GQ. There have since been layoffs in the digital music publication, including the exit of editor-in-chief Puja Patel.
In a written statement, Anna Wintour, Condé Nast’s chief content officer and global editorial director of Vogue, wrote, “Today we are evolving our Pitchfork team structure by bringing the team into the GQ organisation. This decision was made after a careful evaluation of Pitchfork’s performance and what we believe is the best path forward for the brand so that our coverage of music can continue to thrive within the company.”
