After the controversy over those topless photos of Kate Middleton and the action taken by the British Royal Family immediately after they were published, editors of other publications would have been wise not to make the same mistake.
However, Michael O'Kane, the editor of Irish Daily Star chose to publish the photos after they were published by a French magazine. Since the photos were released in September, O'Kane had been on suspension from the newspaper and resigned on Saturday.
Following O'Kane's decision to run the photos, shareholders of the publication were not happy, including Richard Desmond, a Brit who owns a portion of the Star. Desmond had threatened to end the paper after it did what every paper in Britain refused to do and print the photos.
Despite his suspension, the Irish Daily Star noted in a statement that is was O'Kane's decision to resign and leave the paper for good.
