Aye, I'm not even talking about the current drama - Bert and Ernie are probably on The List as well - but at a time when people are being ripped to shreds online for something they said when they were young and ignorant, you have a woman who's been convicted of violence several times over, with a long history of being connected to some very unsavoury things, and yet everyone's still happy to promote their friendship with her.
Do I care that Naomi is not particularly nice? She's a good model. But anyone choosing to hire her makes a mockery of everything else they might currently be spouting about "values".
If values mattered, this would be the time to create new legends, rather than to continue recycling contaminated material.
But Naomi represents how hypocritical our society is. That fascination for Divas and all the excess they represents!
Naomi never hide who she was. I mean, she even said to Barbara Walters in a jocking way that she was a Hard Working b*tch!
Because she is that beautiful woman that sells glamour, she managed to glamorize her abuse toward her assistants. When you think about that, Woke/Cancel culture or not, it’s never right to throw phones and be violent to someone who works for you!
But Naomi got away with it. People (the press included) celebrated the fact that she treated her community service as a Fashion show...She later used it to have a resurgence in the industry.
It’s schizophrenic to think that when the world was giving a huge pass to Naomi, people believed, thanks to The Devil Wears Prada, that Wintour was the epitome of an abusive Boss...
The world gave her a pass for things she did, admit and for her horrible attitude for years. It would be totally hypocrite to then today, throw her under the bus for the same exact things (that weren’t right back then anyway) and then use a story where her involvement Is not really proven, just to see her fall.
