Gawker fired blogger Seth Abramovitch Thursday for a post about Kanye West in which he used a certain unpalatable racial slur, TheWrap has confirmed.
Abramovitch (pictured left) wrote a post about West’s marathon Twitter rant late Wednesday night, in which he used the word “n—–” to explain what DONDA stood for.
Just one problem: DONDA is the name of West’s late mother.
The New York Observer picked up on it, prompting an “editorial pow wow” and an apology, according to new Gawker editor A.J.
