Rich Dorment Out at Giant, Prez Hooper Still Out of His Mind

Giant Magazine

Somebody really needs to keep Giant magazine founder and president Jamie Hooper away from those office windows. Seriously, if he jumps out one day, well, don’t say we didn’t do everything in our power to prevent it.

The latest gossip comes in response to Jossip’s report last week that Hooper went a bit berserk after reading the not-so-flattering comments on his mag’s new site. (There were counter reactions in the comments section denying the crazy antics, but, no official email.)

Today, this bit just in from Mediabistro: (Note: apparently readers can't send follow up info from our story to, uh, us … but we'll take it anyways.)

Now comes word — unconfirmed but from a reliable source — that editor Rich Dorment has left the magazine.

Says a tipster: “Hooper was staring out the same window and refused to even acknowledge Dorment’s presence.”

Usually it's pretty tough to acknowledge somebody if they've already left, so we'll give Hooper the benefit of the doubt on that one. But what is with this guy and his window staring? We wonder if he was blabbering on about fires and smoke and the bad men coming to leave comments on his website, or if the mag just has some kind of ridiculously great view of a hot model exhibitionist across the way?
