Could you say something really vague without really mentioning the details?

Like, "Miss Author felt that she said something inapropriate and asked me to apologize on her behalf. She said she would email you later this week."

I think she would probably mention in the email that she asked you to pass on the message, so it might not look too good if you didn't say anything about it.

I agree. Say something, but keep it vague.

I like what Brazen had to say. I'd say exactly that and leave out any details, so you don't end up in a conversation you don't want to be in. I wouldn't say anything else other than that either because you don't want to get in the middle of anything in case the Editor-In-Chief was offended by the comment.

That's a terribly tacky thing to say to anyone, let alone a pregnant woman. I would just go to your Ed-in-chief and say something like "Author came back to the table after you left to apologize for being so crass. She promised to also send you a note of apology."

I told my other co-worker about this and she said she would tell the editor-in-chief because she works directly for her and also was there for the original conversation.
