周六，这篇引发广泛争议的文章被BBC撤下。该文章题为《裸甲风潮如何成为阶级问题的象征》，探讨了近年来女性更倾向于选择透明、光滑的“裸甲”而非那些更具设计感的指甲装饰的美容趋势。
The BBC removed an article that suggested the trend of leaving fingernails unpainted could perpetuate "White supremacist" beauty standards after it drew backlash Saturday.
BBC指出，虽然一些人认为这一趋势只是时尚标准不断变化的一部分，但批评者认为这种审美观念实际上反映了社会中的阶级差异，并可能对那些曾经流行过复杂指甲装饰的黑人、拉丁裔和亚裔群体造成歧视。
The original article, "How the bare nails trend became a class issue," explored the beauty trend of women preferring clear and polished "naked" nails over the more stylish nail designs over the past few years.
“这种趋势实际上是在倡导‘简约’与‘一致性’，而这种对文化与身份的抹杀行为对黑人及少数族裔群体来说是非常有害的，”美容记者克里斯蒂娜·罗杜尔福（Kristina Rodulfo）对BBC表示。
The BBC reported that while some consider this trend part of the ever-shifting standards in fashion, critics suggested the image said "something about class" and could potentially stigmatize Black, Latino and Asian communities that popularized heavily designed nails.
J.K.罗琳（JK Rowling）也因BBC将其关于跨性别体育新闻的标题称为“宣传内容”而公开批评该媒体：“这些所谓的‘优雅’或‘有品位’的描述，其实只是用来延续白人至上主义审美标准的委婉说法罢了。”这篇文章很快因将指甲装饰与种族主义或阶级对立联系在一起而遭到广泛批评。
"That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to [B]lack and [B]rown communities," beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo told the BBC.
“这篇文章简直愚蠢至极、毫无意义。更让人难以接受的是：撰写这篇文章的人的薪水，竟是由这个国家所有看电视的人共同支付的税款支撑的……简直不可原谅，”性权利组织“Sex Matters”的倡导主管海伦·乔伊斯（Helen Joyce）在社交媒体上写道。
JK ROWLING CONFRONTS THE BBC FOR PUSHING 'PROPAGANDA' OVER ITS TRANSGENDER SPORTS HEADLINE "They are often called elegant or tasteful, and these are often usually euphemisms that perpetuate [W]hite supremacist standards of beauty." The article quickly drew widespread criticism for linking nail design to racism or class warfare.
另一位媒体评论员达娜·洛施（Dana Loesch）则讽刺道：“你们的哈马斯（Hamas）记者也参与撰写过这样的文章吗？”
"Such a stupid, pointless article. And to think the salary of whoever wrote it is paid by a levy on anyone in this country who watches live TV. Indefensible," Sex Matters Director of Advocacy Helen Joyce wrote on LEGACY MEDIA TRUST HITS NEW LOW WITH SWALWELL STORY LATEST EXAMPLE OF PROTECTING DEMS "Did one of your Hamas reporters write this one, too?" radio host Dana Loesch remarked.
美国保护联盟（American Conservation Coalition）的首席执行官丹妮尔·弗兰茨（Danielle Franz）开玩笑说：“对于那些以为自己能省下80美元美甲费用、但实际上只是在‘暗中传递某种信息’的女性来说，这可真是个坏消息。”
American Conservation Coalition CEO Danielle Franz joked, "Bad news for the ladies who thought they were saving $80 on a manicure but were actually dogwhistling."
《太阳报》（The Sun）的资深编辑哈里·科尔（Harry Cole）写道：“这简直太荒谬了——现在不涂指甲油竟然被解读为‘白人至上主义’的象征了？她们是不是正在忙着用指甲油去除剂来‘清除’这些‘象征性行为’呢？”
The Sun editor-at-large Harry Cole wrote, "This is mental. Not painting your nails is now White supremacy coded, apparently. Are they hoofing nail polish remover over there?"
在该文章的存档版本中，相关内容已被删除，取而代之的是这样一条声明：“本文因编辑审查需要而被暂时移除。”然而到了周二，这条声明也被删除了；原本指向BBC的链接现在显示“404错误”（即页面无法访问）。
In an archived update to the article, the story was removed and replaced with the statement, "This article has been removed pending editorial review." As of Tuesday, however, that statement had also been removed, and the original BBC URL led to a 404 error page.
福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）联系了BBC寻求评论，但并未立即得到回复。

在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）针对BBC提起的法律诉讼以及BBC内部信任危机期间，这位即将离任的BBC高管警告该媒体集团正处于“岌岌可危的境地”。这一举动发生在特朗普总统获得许可、对BBC提起修订后的诉讼之后。特朗普声称BBC在2024年制作的《Panorama》纪录片中“恶意且欺骗性地”剪辑了他的演讲内容。
DEPARTING BBC BOSS WARNS NETWORK ON 'KNIFE EDGE' AMID TRUMP DOCUMENTARY LAWSUIT, TRUST CRISIS This move by the BBC comes one month after President Donald Trump won permission to file an amended legal complaint against the BBC for what the president claimed was "maliciously and deceptively" edited footage of his Jan. 6 speech in a 2024 "Panorama" documentary.
特朗普法律团队的发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“今天的这一重要裁决是特朗普总统针对BBC的重大胜利。BBC曾备受尊敬，如今却因蓄意、恶意地篡改演讲内容而名誉扫地——这种行为明显是为了干涉2024年的总统选举。”
"Today’s strong and thoughtful ruling is a major win for President Trump’s powerhouse lawsuit against the formerly respected and now disgraced BBC, which defamed President Trump by intentionally, maliciously and deceptively doctoring his speech in a brazen attempt to interfere in the 2024 Presidential Election," a spokesman for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital.
“特朗普总统要求左翼的BBC及其所有主流媒体同行为通过欺骗和恶意诽谤手段传播虚假新闻的行为负责。”这场争议最终导致了BBC新闻首席执行官黛博拉·特恩斯（Deborah Turness）和总干事蒂姆·戴维（Tim Davie）在2025年11月的辞职。
"President Trump is holding the leftist BBC, along with all of its comrades in the mainstream media, accountable for their peddling of fake news through deception and maliciously defamatory conduct." The controversy preceded the November 2025 resignations of BBC News CEO Deborah Turness and Director-General Tim Davie.
