Rolling Stone Co-Founder Ousted from Rock Hall Leadership Over Offensive Remarks

Jann Wenner, co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, has been removed from the hall's board after making controversial remarks in an interview. Wenner's comments, which were criticized as disparaging female musicians and artists of color, sparked immediate backlash. The decision to remove him from the board came a day after the interview was published. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has faced criticism for its lack of diversity in inductees, with recent improvements but still a significant underrepresentation of women and artists of color.
