GOSSIP:Foxy Brown At Louis Vuitton

[stylegurrl]

August 30, 2004 --

FOXY Brown, you've worn out your welcome at the Louis Vuitton flagship on Fifth Avenue. A fed-up staffer called us Friday while the rapper was throwing a tantrum inside the store to plead for us to expose Foxy's abominable behavior. "She comes in here all the time and yells at people, curses at us, snaps her fingers at us. She's just awful. We've all had it." Foxy also has a habit of returning anything she buys if she doesn't get a "celebrity discount."

From today's New York Post

That's hilarious. I've never heard of such a thing.

What nerve she has-no one even cares about her anymore

oh please; this is typical diva behavior. it's just funny, i guess she can't afford to have someone go and haggle for her anymore.

 

[hollyslookingdry]

If you can't have someone go haggle for you anymore, you don't deserve the celebrity discount...

 

[Acid]

if someone snapped their fingers at me i would break them off
biach!

IMHO, There shouldn't even be a celebrity discount. If you have millions it is really tasteless and low class to ask for a price cut.

I agree, so tacky, surely Vuitton of all places wouldn't give discount to celebs anyway, their prices seemed to be pretty severly fixed.

first of all i doubt foxy brown has "millions," but second of all, celebrities do deserve discount bc it's very much free advertising for the brands they choose.

I personally have a big problem with designers/houses using celebrities as advertising and providing them with 'incentives'. Celebrities aren't wearing things because they truly like them, they are wearing the products of whoever gives them the best perks. That is a black mark on the industry. I often wonder what would happpen if all of the freebies and perks were to disappear. Would celebrities actually spend their money on anything designer?

 

[Spacemiu]

how does she even get anof money? I mean she is really not that famous, i guess she must have sugar daddys

Yeah, I know it's typical behavior, but I've never actually heard of a "celebrity" being kicked out of a store like that.

But, then again, I don't read or watch stuff about celebrities...

They seem to be a bunch of cheapskates, so I doubt many of them would actually pay full price for designer clothes. I've always thought it very funny how so many millionaire celebrities hate spending any money at all.

 

[Kimkhuu]

Such cheap behaviour.

Good thing they kicked her out of the store!

 

[Theory]

Well Foxy wants to be the face for Vuitton Fall 05. Guess this won't help her cause.

There's a story/rumor that Foxy was banned from the 5th ave Gucci store for *walking* out of the store with some items and *forgetting* to pay for them. A Gucci sales associate helped her and she went into the fitting room and tried the items on, only to leave Gucci without purchasing them and the sales associates discovered the items were missing.

Gucci didn't call the cops on her, but sent her a bill for the items, saying that there must have been an oversight on her part and to please pay up. Foxy then went on to say she figured the clothes would be free since she would provide Gucci with some free advertising

I've also heard/know that she gives the sales associates in Bergdofs hell. Poor Foxy hasn't had a hit song in over 5 years and is really trying to hang onto whatveer fleeting celebrity she has left.

Oy vey......gimme a break, you're not even famous girl!! No one cares if you wear their clothes.

 

[kitsch]

Sad, oh so sad.
