Demsey's departure was due to an Instagram post that landed him in hot water last week, a statement from the company said.
Demsey was placed on unpaid leave following his Instagram post. He issued an apology via Instagram on Friday. He did not respond to a request for comment for this story, and it was unclear who at Lauder would take over his role, which included oversight for the company’s multibrand makeup business.
In the interim period, a spokeswoman for Lauder said, “The brands within John’s portfolio will continue to be led by their respective global presidents and report directly to Fabrizio Freda [president and chief executive officer of the Estée Lauder Cos.]. Plans for the organization will be announced later.”
Demsey has been with Lauder since 1991, and has been an executive group president since 2015. He most recently oversaw makeup brands MAC, Clinique, Too Faced, Smashbox, Glamglow and Tom Ford . Makeup is a major business segment for Lauder, and in the most recent fiscal year, posted $4.2 billion in net sales.
