Did OK! Magazine Take Over Grazia USA?
In a surprising editorial shakeup, Grazia USA‘s Instagram has been wiped—by OK! Magazine! Around 7 p.m. last night, Grazia‘s American outpost cleared its IG feed. However, just one post remained: a pink and white graphic of OK!‘s logo, which also replaced the magazine’s avatar. Currently, there’s no word on the publication’s future at OK!, and Grazia USA‘s Instagram has been deleted—though its secondary Instagram is still up and running. Luckily for you, we have receipts!
“We want to let you know that this page will be closing soon. But don’t worry—our journey isn’t ending!” the pub’s last caption read. “You can continue to enjoy all the latest updates, exclusive content, and more by liking and following our new @okmagazine page. Your support has meant everything to us, and we can’t wait to keep sharing exciting content with you at our new home!”
