Ellise Shafer GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis is under fire after a bombshell New York Times report accused her of lavish spending, including expensing a $22,000 first-class flight to Cannes Lions and using the nonprofit’s funds to renovate her home office.

The Times reported that GLAAD’s internal travel policy recommended that employees fly economy, use public transportation and “be cost conscious.” GLAAD said that, at the advice of lawyers, they did not report Ellis’ home office renovation as income on her tax returns.
