This is definitely a eye opener for everyone. Get your coins in order because no one else will have your back. Now all Andre has is those big fancy sheets. It's great to have nice things but that doesn't do anything for your retirement!!

[@jonwiley5549]

You are so right! And the sad thing is Talley probably can’t afford to retire, even at age 72.

@@RunningThatMouth He was said to be nasty to other black people in the industry and not supporting other black people in the industry. He wasn’t really someone who provided opportunities. Instead of him taking his 30 year career to do something amazing for himself and his community he did nothing. He basically was at one time a highly influential person who sat by complacently as people of color were treated unfairly at vogue. It wasn’t until maybe 2 or 3 years ago he was removed as creative director for basically not evolving he came out and said Anna Wintour was a racist. 🤔😒 That wouldn’t have been a surprise. The unfortunate part for him was he screamed her praises for many years...shit almost 30. So that’s a quick answer to why people don’t feel bad for him.

No offense, but Andre never struck me as someone out to live a modest life. He was quite smug from the beginning. I think I was reading somewhere that someone bought his grandmother a house. I am with the person on the far right; Andre was likely getting favors from rich white people who no longer want to financially carry him anymore. I think he was making decent money, but he wanted to live levels above what he had. Now it has caught up with him.

[@MauriceRivers415]

In my opinion, Andre was a glorified pet, a token to those people, and he knew it. As a Black person, you don't usually reach certain levels/circles in the fashion industry (or ANY industry) because of your talent or influence: you're allowed in because you're a novelty and "fun", even when you have the credentials to stand on your own. But he made a choice to go along with the charade all these decades, because of the access it gave him to fashion. Deep down, he knew that without their fake-ass friendships and alliances, the privileges available to him would be cut off. Without the benevolence of Anna, he didn't have a leg to stand on in the fashion world. He sacrificed his pride and integrity to be Vogue's adored pet, until he wasn't anymore. He was the first Black creative director at American Vogue, although it is highly doubtful he would've ever been considered to replace Anna. He had a good run, but what a high price he paid.

[@lywnnjohnson6130]

It's a sad story because in a 2018 interview, he claimed he made $300,000 per year at Vogue when his counterparts were making three times that salary. That could be true. In the same interview, he claimed to be broke, which I believe. He said his biggest mistake was not being able to convert his influence and fame into a "brand" which could have given him some kind of annuity. You know... one of his idols was Diana Vreeland who, similarly, didn't make that much money and yet travelled around in a world of privilege among her rich and famous friends because of her position at Vogue.

Where’s the money from his book? I read his book, and he threw Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour under the bus and then dragged them while they were under there, so I doubt anyone in fashion is going to try to save him. Plus, those fashion people in his book sounded like they just toss people away, discard them very easily, so they aren’t really good people, good enough to come to his rescue.

@@LMLification but his life is still so iconic. The spaces he was allowed to move in and through is astonishing. He knew Andy Warhol! He should have left Anna out of his book and just focused on himself and his healing. To the end of the book, he was still hoping for Anna’s approval. It’s sad. But he had a hell of a life.

What AL said....

[@shontaduncan6072]

THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT! that Funky Dineva made. You can be working in a fashion industry and get FREE designer clothes, and your executive staff could be kind and give you all kinds of favours and gifts and it will APPEAR that you are actually making the money to buy those things, but it is not fair to assume that the individual actually has that kind of money. Like Dineva said, it's nothing for rich people to gift you things - the cost is insignificant to them. I dont know Mr. Leon until I started watching these few videos about his eviction and I haven't watched all, nor will I, but I think that the commentaries from bloggers etc is quite harsh, and I am CERTAIN that NONE of these bloggers / KZbin personalities know the man personally. Regarding the point about him appearing proud or foolish for not accepting $$, yes, the gesture may be kind BUT, remember, this is a GROWN man. People have to speak to the guy personally to find out if it is okay to do that. We don't know the man's inside situation. It is his right to appreciate but refuse such public assistance, if he chooses. He may have other avenues of support that he will use BEFORE going to total strangers to assist him...and we say pride goes before a fall, but this is regular pride, I think. Just because the media put out your private business to the public, doesn't mean you want the public all up in your business. Again, I don't know this guy. Maybe he had a bit of an attitude - who knows? But, to be that age and be out of a home is so sad.
