Vanity Fair employees lash out over proposed Melania Trump cover: ‘I will walk out the motherf–king door’

Vanity Fair’s new boss reportedly wants first lady Melania Trump to grace the glossy magazine’s coveted cover — leaving disgruntled woke staff threatening to “walk out the motherf–king door” if it goes ahead.

The fashion mag’s global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, has floated the possibility of putting President Trump’s wife on the cover of the Conde Nast-owned publication as he tries to make his mark in his newly minted role, Semafor reported.

But the mere thought of having the former model as a cover girl sparked fierce backlash from raging lefty staffers.

“I will walk out the motherf–king door, and half my staff will follow me,’ one sensitive editor fumed to the Daily Mail.

“We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife; we’re just not going to do it. We’re going to stand for what’s right,” the unidentified staffer whined.

“If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, I’ll do it. If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it.”

Others, meanwhile, dismissed the outrage — insisting there’s no way employees would give up such a prestigious job out of protest.

“It’s all talk,” one employee said.

“If they put her on the cover, people will protest and gripe about it, but I don’t see anyone quitting such a prestigious job over that.”

“Honestly, there will be people who push back, but it’s ultimately Mark’s decision. He’s the one who will sink or swim over that choice, not the rest of us,” the employee added.

Melania was notably excluded from Vanity Fair and Conde Nast’s Vogue during Trump’s first administration. That’s in sharp contrast to Michelle Obama, who graced Vogue’s cover three times while she was first lady.

Despite the snub, Melania has previously said she has “no interest” in appearing on the illustrious covers.

“Look, I’ve been there on the covers — on the cover of Vogue, on the covers of many magazines before … We have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine,” she told Fox News.

“I think that life would not change for anybody if I’m on the cover.”
