Editor’s Note: The Cordish Companies

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

On January 19, theGrio.com published an article detailing allegations made in lawsuits against The Cordish Companies. The article was aggregated by our staff in response to a post on The Daily Beast. 

The Daily Beast has since retracted their story because the “most serious accusations of discrimination were later recanted in non-public depositions.” TheGrio.com failed to fully vet or confirm the serious accusations lodged in The Daily Beast’s article and takes full responsibility for our article’s inaccuracies.

TheGrio.com offers its full apologies to Reed Cornish, who was the focus of the article, and The Cordish Companies.

We regret this error and will strive to ensure it does not happen again.

Signed,

TheGrio.com Editorial Team
