And turns out the fans might indeed be right!

A company source was quoted in the article, “We weren’t seeing that growth.. When someone is moved out of a company, it’s usually the result of something not working. We took stronger control of that a few months ago.”

Catherine Newman has taken over Stephanie's duties following the latter's departure.
