British TV personality Jeremy Clarkson has been censured by the Independent Press Standards Organization (IPSO) for a controversial column he wrote about Meghan Markle, in which he described imagining her being publicly humiliated. The column breached the editors' code of practice by containing a pejorative and prejudicial reference to Markle's sex. As part of the penalty, the Sun newspaper, where the column was published, has been instructed to publish a summary of the findings against it and flag the ruling on its front page and online. The column received over 25,100 complaints and was the most complained-about article to IPSO since its establishment in 2014. Women's rights nonprofit groups brought the formal complaint, calling the decision a historic victory against misogyny in the media. IPSO did not uphold elements of the complaint related to inaccuracy, harassment, and discriminatory references based on race.
