Vanity Fair Revokes Credentials of Reporter Who Winked at Camera During Lindsay Clancy Trial
Vanity Fair has revoked the courtroom credentials of reporter Brittany Romano after she was caught smiling and winking at a live camera during the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy. The incident occurred on Monday in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where Clancy is facing charges for strangling her three children. Romano claimed she was in the gallery because she grew up with Clancy and that her facial expression was a response to her father’s advice to look less sad on live television. The magazine cited clear conflicts with its editorial standards for the decision. Romano has since posted on Instagram, mocking the backlash and claiming the online criticism was 'vile.'
