Jada Pinkett On ‘Red Table Talk’ Processes Fall Out From ‘Surviving R. Kelly’

In the latest episode of her talk series “Red Table Talk,” Jada Pinkett Smith chose to take on the fall out from “Surviving R. Kelly,” a series she said she made a point of watching with her daughter, Willow Smith.

Smith acknowledged culpability within her own family by pointing out her husband, Will Smith, used Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly” as the backing track for a September 2018 bungee jump video.

The episode includes a visit by R. Kelly accuser Lisa Van Allen who shares details of her four-year relationship with Kelly. Van Allen was 17 in 1998 when she met Kelly, who was 31 at the time. Two years into their relationship, Kelly pushed her to take part in threesomes with a girl she would later discover was 14. Kelly recorded all three of their encounters on video, one of which Van Allen stole. In 2002, the tape was mailed anonymously to Chicago Sun-Times pop music critic Jim Derogatisto. The tape led to Kelly being tried in 2008 and ultimately acquitted.

“I came out in 2008 and nobody heard me,” Van Allen told Pinkett and added, “It’s awesome to be heard now.”

Van Allen was in foster care until she was six and was then adopted by a single mother, information Kelly used to manipulate her. She said as she got older and Kelly continued to pursue teenagers, she realized he didn’t want to and wasn’t going to change. She added she had a daughter by a different father and began to be concerned about having her around Kelly.

Van Allen said Kelly spoke in detail to her about his relationship with Aaliyah, “the dirty dirt,” a confession she said made her feel special. Chillingly, Kelly described their pact as “pins and eyeballs,” meaning you don’t discuss “what we do” even if they put pins in your eyeballs. She added, “He said he had that pact with Aaliyah, and she didn’t talk.”

In the next episode, Van Allen’s daughter will join the program.

Check out the exchange below.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.

In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake an In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake and brought back Alessandro Michele (kidding but not really). Instead it's announced the appointment of Sabato De Sarno as Gucci creative director. De Sarno will present his debut runway collection at Milan Women’s Fashion Week in September 2023.

The 39-year-old Sabato De Sarno was raised in Naples, Italy. He began his career at Prada in 2005, moving to Dolce & Gabbana, before joining Valentino in 2009, where he eventually was appointed fashion director of men’s and women’s collections.

De Sarno's resume is no joke, so we look forward to seeing what he brings to the table and will do our best to not hold it against him that he replaced Michele. That's on Kering.
French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings yesterday and noted that Fenty Beauty doubled its revenue in 2022 versus the prior year. In an earnings release the company attribued the growth to "expansion of its distribution network and the success of its launches." 

First launched with LVMH's beauty brand incubator Kendo in 2017, Fenty's growth over the past several years has largely been fueled by global expansion. 

Comnenting on Fenty Beauty's first forray into Asia, CEO Rihanna in 2019 stated on social media, "When I launched @fentybeauty in 2017, it was important to me to make sure it was available globally so everyone had access to it. We are continuing to expand our Fenty Beauty family to Hong Kong, Macau, Seoul and Jeju in September!”

While LVMH didn't provide 2022 Fenty Beauty revenue figures, it announced the beauty brand brought in $573M in revenue in 2018. Forbes in 2021 valued the entire operation as worth $2.8 billion, of which 50% belongs to Rihanna.
The purveyor of consistent heat, Casey Cadwallader The purveyor of consistent heat, Casey Cadwallader's #Mugler fall 2023 runway show in Paris, gave what it's supposed to give. Excellent casting featuring #Ziwe, Amber Valetta, Debra Shaw, Omahyra Mota, Paloma Elsesser, Anok Yai, Dominique Jackson, Maria Carla and more! Badass energy, bold pieces in leather, lace and some denim.

We think Thierry Mugler would be pleased✨
