NZ Herald Weekend editor Miriyana Alexander has confirmed Pebbles Hooper has stepped down from her role as Spy co-editor.
"Today I accepted the resignation of Pebbles Hooper, effective immediately. She will no longer co-edit the Spy pages in the Herald on Sunday, or appear in the Weekend Herald's Canvas magazine," Alexander said.
"As I said on Sunday, the views she expressed in her tweet were distressing, and are obviously not shared by me, or the Herald on Sunday.
"I have also apologised to a family spokesman for the contents of the tweet and the distress it caused them."
