Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany has gone into damage control over an image of him performing a Nazi salute, meeting with a Jewish community group and apologising in an all-staff email.
Jewish and diversity groups have criticised the former Fox Sports CEO’s gesture as “deeply concerning” and an example of “toxic workplace behaviours”.
On Sunday night, Delany sent an email to Foxtel staff apologising for the gesture, which he made in the mid-2010s, largely reiterating the statement he gave to Crikey in response to our initial exclusive reporting on the leaked image.
