The publication recently accused Ackman&#8217;s\u200d wife, Neri Oxman, of plagiarism, sparking a heated dispute.<\/p>\n<p>Ackman \u200ctook to Twitter to call out Nicholas Carlson, the Global Editor-in-Chief of\u200b Business Insider, accusing him of either lying or being misled by others. Carlson had reportedly emailed his staff claiming that Ackman had not disputed the claims made in the outlet&#8217;s report.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The facts \u2062of the stories have\u200b not been disputed by Oxman or her husband Bill Ackman,&#8221; Carlson&#8217;s email read. &#8220;Ackman and others have \u2064raised concerns about our \u200dreporting process, as well\u200c as the motivation for publishing the stories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ackman vehemently denied Carlson&#8217;s \u2064statement,\u2062 asserting that he\u200b had indeed \u2063disputed the facts and the \u200breporting process during conversations with Business Insider&#8217;s director and Martin Varsavsky, a director of \u200bAxel\u200b Springer, the German publishing \u2064house that \u2062acquired Business Insider in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u2062Ackman&#8217;s efforts to have Business Insider\u2063 publicly release a statement acknowledging the ongoing investigation into the stories, the publication refused \u2063to withdraw\u200c the articles. Axel Springer\u200d eventually released a statement acknowledging questions about\u2064 the reporting\u2064 process but maintained that\u2062 the facts of the \u2062reports were accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Ackman highlighted that his wife had unintentionally omitted quotation marks in \u200cfour paragraphs and failed to cite one paraphrased sentence in her 330-page\u2062 dissertation. However, she had properly cited the same author \u200din other instances, indicating that the missed citation was unintentional. He emphasized \u200cthat she had never admitted to plagiarism\u2063 or committed any form\u200c of fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Business Insider continued to publish articles alleging further instances \u200cof plagiarism, which Ackman deemed as false and misleading. He revealed that his wife had hired legal \u2064counsel to address the assertions and factual errors in the stories, a process that would\u200c take\u200d weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200dimpact of these \u2064accusations \u2062on \u2062Neri\u200b Oxman&#8217;s reputation has been devastating, according to Ackman. The story became a trending topic, causing significant emotional harm to his wife.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">On\u200d Sunday afternoon, Nicholas Carlson, the Global Editor-in-Chief\u200d of \u2064Business Insider stated in an email to his staff that:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The facts of the stories have not been disputed by Oxman or her husband Bill Ackman.<\/p>\n<p>Ackman and others\u200d have \u200braised concerns about our reporting process,\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillAckman\/status\/1744702145360720049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9,\u200b 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Claudine Gay was the president of Harvard and, as such, a legitimate subject for public scrutiny.
