Diddy Defends Roma Khanna Amid Racism Allegation

Legendary American entertainment mogul, Puff Daddy has stood by the Chief Executive Officer of his Revolt television network, Roma Khanna, despite the viral claims of racist behavior by a former staffer.

In an emotional letter sent to the Revolt board by the ex-employee, who claims to be a “young, educated black woman”, Khanna has openly admitted that black women intimidate her.

According to TMZ, the ex-employee also claimed that Khanna responded to the idea of Meek Mill speaking about prison reform with a racist comment. She claims Khanna said, “Maybe the conversation isn’t about prison reform, maybe it’s about how to stay out of jail, black boy.”
The letter also claims that Khanna laid off 30 percent of the company’s staff for restructuring, and 99 percent of the affected staffs were African-American.

Speaking in an interview with TMZ, Diddy claimed that the letter was baseless and inaccurate. He said: “This story is inaccurate. We are a Black owned and operated network and we have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind. Revolt is led by a woman of color who is expected to uphold the same standards that I hold for all of my companies. After an extensive review led by outside counsel there were no findings of deliberate misconduct. At this time, Roma Khanna will remain as CEO of REVOLT.”

He further added that “Regarding the recent restructure, Revolt’s diversity remains unchanged. We are 67% ethnically diverse, with more than 60% of the senior leadership being women. Any suggestion that any company of mine negatively targets African Americans is absurd and offensive.”
