The claws came out in a major way a few days ago when Russell Simmons got raked over the fashion coals by Andre Leon Talley, the fabulous former editor at large over at Vogue.
Tally, a huge fashion icon himself, was appalled that Simmons was front and center at NYFW after that whole? Harriet Tubman “Sex Tape” controversy a few weeks ago (click HERE to be insulted again refresh your memory).
Many felt that Simmons was totally out of line and Andre Leon Talley is one of them.
When addressing racism in the fashion industry with The Grio’s Chris Whiterspoon,? Tally brought up that no only did the Simmons actions offend him, but he felt disrespected to even SEE Simmons on the front row at fashion week.
Never one to back down from a unilateral celebrity such as Talley, Russell took to black twitter to plead his case. But his ‘apology’ fell on deaf ears when Simmons flipped the script to tell Tally that he was more of a ‘Gay Rights’ advocate than even the most fashionable Gay man in the world.

The outrage was so great, that Simmons removed all digital evidence of his blunder, and proceeded to issue a mea culpa via his popular blog site.
Now more information on this underground idea has come to the surface, and its been discovered that the Global Grind owner, and his crew who created the now infamous ‘sex tape’ was financed by some of Hollywood’s most powerful heavy hitters!
