Good Morning America has announced that stylist Jessica Mulroney will not be returning to the show following accounts of Mulroney's racist behavior from influencer Sasha Exeter.
Exeter spoke out against Mulroney in an 11-minute video, in which she detailed the stylist's poor behavior. In her Instagram post, Exeter said Mulroney reached out to her thinking she was personally attacking her in a post about the Black Lives Matter movement.
Here is Exeter's post where she names no names.
After this post, Exeter posted her video where she does name Mulroney.
You can watch it here:
In an Instagram story, Exeter also revealed Mulroney threatened to sue her.
"Here is what happens when you call out somebody with privilege and with wealth, okay? They publicly make an apology or a statement and privately behind closed doors, they send you a threat of filing a lawsuit against you."
"I'm not quite sure what's going on because I thought I was very clear yesterday in my video that I'm not going to be silenced and I'm not going to shut up."
"I'm going to move forward and do what I need to do essentially to protect myself at this point. But I'm feeling confident in doing so, knowing that I have the truth, the unequivocal truth."
Following Exeter's posts, both Good Morning America and CTV, the network which airs Mulroney's show I Do, Redo, issued statements severing ties with the stylist.
As Jessica Mulroney said last night, she is stepping away from her professional engagements and that includes Good Morning America. She will no longer appear on our show.

In the wake of her firing, Mulroney also issued statements apologizing for her behavior.
Mulroney also commented on her show's cancelation, saying:
"The events that have transpired over the last few days have made it clear that I have work to do. I realize more than ever how being a White, privileged woman has put me far ahead of so many, and in particular those in the Black community."
"And while I can't change the past, I can do my part to do better in the future. I respect the decision of CTV and have decided to step away from my professional engagements at this time."
"I'm going to take this time to reflect, learn and focus on my family."
Twitter was glad to see Mulroney facing consequences for her actions.
a few years ago jessica mulroney threatened to get my friend fired for politely interrupting her conversation to ask if she wanted another drink instead of just bringing her one lol so not surprised she is living up to her terrible reputation

If we're cancelling Jessica Mulroney can we cancel Ben Mulroney too?

Racist behavior shouldn't be accepted in professional settings.
Jessica Mulroney. A career that took her a decade to build, she lost in less than 24 hours. Every brand deal. TV deal. and worst, her reputation. It's a great case study and lesson on crisis management, checking your own privilege, and why you need POC on your advisory team.

It seems Mulroney will not be appearing on the air again for quite a while.
