GBNews published this video item, entitled “‘Cancelled’ artist Jess de Wahls slams Royal Academy and demands an apology” – below is their description.
Jess de Wahls, whose work was withdrawn from the gift shop at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, in a row over transphobia, has said she wants an apology and may pursue legal action over the decision.
Following the backlash, she said she was contacted by officials from the Academy, who told her they were investigating, and she had responded.
However, De Wahls claimed she found out the following day that her work would no longer be stocked after friends sent her screenshots posted on the Academy’s Instagram stories, which announced the decision, and only received a call from the institution after that.
