Why we took down our recent Offscript
We have taken down the recent Offscript featuring Sasha P.
After publication, Purple Fire Entertainment, our guest’s management company, raised concerns about how parts of the conversation were framed and contextualised. While the story was factually accurate and went through our standard editorial process, it became clear in subsequent conversations that there were differences in how parts of the narrative were intended to be understood.
Offscript is built on trust. It is a format where guests speak candidly, often sharing personal transitions, vulnerabilities, and convictions in ways they may not elsewhere. That candour requires trust and good faith. When a guest feels that the framing does not fully reflect their intent, we take that seriously.
Communiqué is rigorous about its reporting. We stand by our editorial standards. But we also recognise that Offscript occupies a different space from our flagship analysis and industry reporting. It is conversational, reflective, and personal. In that space, trust matters as much as precision.
After discussions with our guest, we made the decision to take the story down. We do not see ourselves as owners of these stories. When someone chooses to share their journey with us, we act as custodians of that narrative. And custodianship sometimes requires restraint.
We remain committed to responsible storytelling, transparency, and to the community that reads and supports Communiqué.



I respect and appreciate the decision to unpublish the post for the reasons you laid out, and wish that more publications did so with the approach of transparency that you took.
