Tufo went on to say, “The OP is obviously an antisemite. What about it?” which triggered a slew of comments from angry social media users, accusing her of making antisemitic remarks.
StopAntisemitism slammed Tufo for her comments. “We are disgusted to see @AENetworksstar @LanaTufo state ‘Hollywood is ran by the Jews’. Antisemitic tropes that claim Jews control the media, banks, and governments are part of a longstanding conspiracy of secret Jewish power,” they wrote on Twitter.
“This must NOT be tolerated@Hearst @WaltDisneyCo,” they added.
The organization returned to social media a short time later to provide an update.
“UPDATE: Lana Tufo is no longer affiliated with the A&E Network,” the organization wrote to Twitter. “Furthermore, A&E has ensure StopAntisemitism that no reruns will be aired featuring Lana Tufo.” (RELATED: Adidas Reportedly Tolerated Kanye West’s Misconduct For Years Before Parting Ways)
