Jann Wenner Talk With Cameron Crowe Canceled After ‘Rolling Stone’ Founder’s Racist, Misogynistic Comments

The fallout from Jann Wenner's racist and misogynistic comments continues. An event that was scheduled to take place at New York City's 92nd Street Y on Oct. 17 between Wenner and filmmaker Cameron Crowe was canceled.

The duo were originally set to discuss Wenner's upcoming book, The Masters — containing interviews with legendary rock 'n' roll artists, every one of them white men, from his time at Rolling Stone — but the listing was pulled from the calendar.

92Y has become the latest institution to seemingly sever ties with Wenner. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Montclair, N.J., also canceled an event the writer was supposed to attend to promote his book, according to NJ.com.

Wenner was ousted from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's foundation board last Saturday, with board members holding an emergency meeting that resulted in a motion passing to remove the writer from his position.

Wenner's fall from grace occurred after the Rolling Stone co-founder was asked by New York Times reporter David Marchese why his new book, which includes conversations with celebrated musicians, doesn't feature any conversations with women nor people of color.

"Insofar as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level," Wenner said. When it came to performers of color, the writer said, "They just didn't articulate at that level."

Wenner added, "You know, just for public relations' sake, maybe I should have gone and found one Black and one woman artist to include here that didn't measure up to that same historical standard, just to avert this kind of criticism. Which, I get it. I had a chance to do that. Maybe I'm old-fashioned and I don't give a [expletive] or whatever."

The Messenger reached out to 92Y and Wenner for comment but didn't hear back by the time of publication.
