Estee Lauder ousts exec John Demsey over racist Instagram post | New York Post

Estee Lauder ousted senior executive John Demsey on Monday over an Instagram post of a meme that contained the N-word and jokes about COVID-19.

Demsey’s 31-year stint at the company comes to an end just days after he was suspended over the post, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The now-deleted post was a meme that showed a mockup of a book cover featuring “Sesame Street” star Big Bird with a Photoshopped mask.
