Bon Appétit has not released a video on its beloved Test Kitchen channel since June 5, amid a reckoning of how the food brand treats and compensates its employees of color.
And once the video brand returns, it will look much different than what its six million YouTube subscribers were accustomed to.
Six members of Bon Appétit's 13 on-camera talent have announced that they will no longer appear in videos with the food magazine's Test Kitchen brand: Rick Martinez, Sohla El-Waylly, Priya Krishna, Gaby Melian, Molly Baz, and Carla Lalli Music.
Martinez, El-Waylly, Krishna, and Melian said in statements that Condé Nast's lack of commitment to diversity and inclusion led to their departure. Baz and Music said they will leave out of solidarity with their peers.
"The contract I received was nowhere near equitable, and actually would potentially allow for me to make even less than I do currently," Krishna said on Twitter.
Former and current employees of Bon Appétit told Business Insider in June that the company compensates employees of color differently than their white colleagues.
Condé Nast has repeatedly denied this. "We pay all our employees fairly, and in accordance with their role and experience," a representative for the publisher told Business Insider in August.
Here's who has left, why they're stepping back from the Test Kitchen, and who still remains:
