Judith Regan, the firebrand editor who stirred up decade-old passions last month with her plans for a book and television interview with O. J. Simpson, was fired late Friday by HarperCollins, the publishing company that oversaw her book business. HarperCollins announced the dismissal, effective immediately, in a two-sentence news release that was issued at about 7 p.m. Eastern time. The announcement was made by Jane Friedman, president and chief executive of HarperCollins, who has long had a strained relationship with Ms. Regan. The Simpson book was to give an account of how he might have murdered his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald L. Goldman. The statement said that the Regan publishing program and staff will continue as part of the HarperCollins General Books Group, but it is unknown whether that group will remain in Los Angeles, where Ms. Regan moved it from New York earlier this year.

Huh? What does this mean?
I think she's a w_____-. Please, publishing a book about
a psycho wife beating killer is at best unehtical.
She has no standards for morality or decency but today
the almighty buck means everything.
She'll get offers. Since when does being a creep keep you from
profiting? Look at the Clintons.
No, I meant the present income. I heard the payment was such that it wouldn't go to the Browns. But I'm not an expert. I just caught some news in passing.
She published Rush's book and Sean's book as well.
I heard the money was paid to the children, who are young adults now.
It is a legal term called loopibus holeibus protectum scumimum.
Shuddana hired her in the first place.

She was behind some good books, but this was a huge mistake. Her excuse, that she was looking for "closure" on OJ, was pathetic.
Agree. . .do think the above was the 'strained relationship'. . .
That said; she made a huge mistake with O.J (though doubtful anyone at Harper-Collins thought as much pre-publicity; i.e. until O'Reilly stepped up to the plate); and she is now paying price. I hope she can move on. . .
Meantime: "The statement said that the Regan publishing program and staff will continue as part of the HarperCollins General Books Group"
, so while she moves on; she leaves half of her name behind."
