IAC An**unce They Have 'Parted Ways' With PR Director Behind Controversial Tweet

IAC PR Director Justine Sacco has "parted ways" With the company following a Tweet from her personal Twitter account that went viral and left many outraged, according to a statement from the company.

Here's the full an**uncement, via The Wrap:

“The offensive comment does **t reflect the views and values of IAC. We take this issue very seriously, and we Have parted ways With the employee in question.

There is ** excuse for the hateful statements that Have been made and we condemn them unequivocally. We hope, however, that time and action, and the forgiving human spirit, will **t result in the wholesale condemnation of an individual who we Have otherwise k**wn to be a decent person at core.”

From the wording of the Tweet it is unclear if Sacco was fired or resigned voluntarily.

Sacco had been about to board a plane to South Africa when she sent the offending tweet, which went viral despite the fact she had less than 200 followers at the time it was sent.
