Quibi chief executive Meg Whitman on Friday said she was “super sorry” for comparing probing journalists to sexual predators during a recent all-hands meeting.
“I used an analogy that was inappropriate and just plain wrong,” Whitman told Variety while in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. “None of us are ever perfect. I didn’t intend it, and it’s not at all how I think, how I feel.”
During a company meeting last week, Whitman drew “an analogy between reporters who cultivate sources and sexual predators who prey on underage victims,” according to a report from The Information.
