Troy Young, who beat out internal rivals to become president of Hearst Corp.’s magazine division in 2018, has presided over a “toxic” culture and made numerous sexist and lewd remarks, The New York Times reported.
The Times story on Wednesday followed outrage about Hearst’s magazine operation that has surfaced on social media in recent weeks. The article detailed multiple offensive episodes over several years, including comments Young made at a company offices and at events.
At a Cosmopolitan holiday party in 2013, in an account supported by multiple named witnesses, Young offered a jarring suggestion to a young staff member who mentioned having gone on an unpleasant date. At issue was the date’s complaints about an ex-girlfriend’s odor. Young allegedly told the woman that she should have inserted her fingers into herself and asked her date if he liked the way she smelled. The Times did not identify...

There's no doubt that Victoria Fuller is one of the most controversial contestants that The Bachelor has had in a while. Between her ex drama, her penchant for tears, and her off-show history, there's never a shortage of drama when it comes to Victoria. We've broken things down to keep track of all the drama so far . . . with more likely still to come.
Victoria's Controversial Photo Shoot
Even before Victoria began filming, she was embroiled in controversy. Back in 2016, she modeled for a fish conservation campaign that chose the provocative slogans "White Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter" to raise awareness for conservation of white and blue marlin. While ostensibly created for a good cause, the politically charged nature of the slogans - which were largely created in reaction or opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement - raised questions about Victoria's judgment.

The Bachelor's Peter Weber is setting the record straight. If you haven't already heard, Victoria Fuller, a contestant on the current season of the hit ABC reality series, came under fire for previously posing in an advertisement apparently promoting marlin conservation, which featured "White Lives Matter" phrasing. Earlier this week, Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Jessica Pels announced in an online letter that the magazine would no longer be publishing a digital Cosmo cover of Fuller, her prize for winning the challenge of Monday night's episode. "It's been reported that what she modeled for was actually a Marlin Lives Matter organization...

Monday's episode of The Bachelor featured a group date in Costa Rica where a photo shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine took place. The "prize" after the contestants posed for a fashion spread in bikinis, which was awarded to the woman with the most chemistry with Peter, was a digital cover shoot. Victoria F. took the prize and the photo shoot, but if you're hoping to see the digital cover on Cosmopolitan's website, you're out of luck: the cover will not be published, and it all comes down to another past shoot Victoria did that didn't sit well with Cosmopolitan or its values.
In a letter posted on the magazine's website, editor in chief Jessica Pels explains why the cover was ultimately discarded. "When it came time for me to choose the winner of the challenge - whose prize was a digital cover of Cosmo - all I knew about the contestants...

The Bachelor's Peter Weber is standing by Victoria Fuller, despite the controversy surrounding a modeling campaign she was involved in. As viewers of The Bachelor already know, the 26-year-old was selected to star with Peter on the March issue of Cosmopolitan magazine after participating in a steamy bikini-clad photo shoot. However, her excitement was short-lived when Cosmo Editor-in-Chief Jessica Pels announced they would no longer feature Victoria F. on the cover. In a letter, Pels said they made this decision because of Victoria's involvement in an advertisement for an apparent marlin conservation group using the phrasing and branding of the White Lives...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the fifth episode of “The Bachelor” Season 24.
Monday night brought us the first of five (!!!) hours of “Bachelor” related content this week, where viewers picked up from the Alayah Benavidez controversy of last week’s “To Be Continued…”
In the wise words of contestant Natasha Parker: “She has made her bed, and now she has to A-layah in it.” And just like that, Benavidez was sent home by bachelor Peter Weber. She was not the only contestant sent home, as Deandra Kanu, Savannah Mullins and Kiarra Norman joined her exit.
After Weber spent his time reassuring his remaining women, he announced that they were headed to their next destination: Costa Rica.
The women settled into their new digs and made sure to yell “Costa Rica!” in unison from the balcony before Weber arrived with 22 stitches. News broke earlier...

This letter from the editor is hot off the presses. Tonight's group date on The Bachelor took Peter Weber's suitors to Costa Rica, where the ladies were asked to pose in their bikinis for a chance to get featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. Ultimately, Cosmo editor-in-chief Jessica Pels picked Victoria Fuller (who took a risk and kissed Peter during their photo shoot) as the lucky winner. But as Pels just revealed, those images won't actually make it to the printer after all. In a letter titled "Why We're Not Publishing the Cosmo Bachelor Cover," Pels explains how a controversy involving Victoria helped the staff make...

For Elizabeth Warren, less is more when it comes to taking care of her skin. The 70-year-old Democratic presidential candidate and Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren discussed her skincare routine in an interview with Cosmopolitan, published on Thursday. She said she uses Pond's moisturizer "every morning, every night," adding, "And I never wash my face."

So I have—had, she's passed now—but a much older cousin named Tootsie," Warren said. "Years ago, I was, I guess probably somewhere in my 20s, and we're...
