So - for those of you who requested it of me (on FB) please find enclosed the response I got from ZOO's editor.
Frankly I think it looks pretty generic, as he didn't even start it with a greeting, although a slight improvement on the open one posted yesterday to the site:
Thank you for your email regarding this week's issue.
Firstly, let me unreservedly apologise for the inappropriate and indefensibile response to a letter which appeared. I am very sorry for any offence it has caused.
Danny Dyer, and everyone else that works on Zoo condemn any violence against women, and by way of a sincere apology we are making a donation to Women's Aid.
An internal enquiry is underway to find out how this extremely regrettable production error occurred and I will be tighening up any procedures necessary to ensure it cannot happen again.
We have already posted an apology on our website and will also be printing a fuller apology in next week's issue.
Regards
Tom Etherington
Editor
Zoo Magazine
I sincerely hope he sticks by this. After all, yes, men's magazines are a form of mysogyny but that doesn't give them the right to threaten women with violence.
