8. Justine Sacco
IAC is a leading media and Internet company focused on the areas of search, applications, online dating, media and eCommerce.
Sacco gained notoriety on Friday for the tweet she wrote before a trip to Cape Town, South Africa that offended many and generated loads of social media
responses.
The tweet read: “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just Kidding. I’m white!”
As of Friday night, IAC had already removed her name from its website‘s media contacts list ahead of its official announcement of her employment termination
and before she landed in Cape Town. Sacco’s tweet spread quickly on social media. For a time, #HasJustineLandedYet became the No. 1 non-promoted
hashtag on Twitter while she was en route to Cape Town. It was also covered widely by both trade and consumer news sites.
IAC has terminated the employment of Justine Sacco, its now former corporate communications staffer at the center of controversy over a tweet that the
company viewed as “offensive.”
