Minaj shared screenshots showing that one of their journalists allegedly threatened to expose her family member’s address if they didn’t speak with her.
The statement continues:
At Guardian Media Ltd. we denounce intimidation of journalists in any form. Balanced reporting which presents all perspectives is fundamental to the democratic process and we will continue to champion vigorously the freedom of the press.
The use of aggression on social media to intimidate can have adverse physical and psychological effects on people. As a responsible media house, we encourage others to stand up against this type of behaviour as we can all make a difference in addressing this global challenge posed by the pervasive nature of social media.
Minaj has not yet commented on this statement, but she previously shared that she is ready for this controversy to end. While the company stood against cyberbullying, they did not address the validity of the messages and did not say that the journalist was not responsible for them.
Here is the official statement from Guardian Media Limted stemming from today’s situation. The only addition I would have liked to see is confirmation that all legal options are being vigorously pursued on behalf of the afflicted party. Otherwise, this is an excellent statement. pic.twitter.com/xw1hy0uLnU
