When it comes to a health, shame-free attitude about sex it seems that superstar designer Marc Jacobs can't be beat. In an interview with Paper last year, Jacobs told us "sexy people are great. People who love sex are great," and he has no qualms admitting to having been on Grindr. (More on that below.) Over the weekend Page Six posted a story about an alleged 10-person "wild" orgy at Jacobs' home. The designer went on instagram and posted this message:
Wild? I'd say "MILD". And to whichever guest benefitted from calling this misinformation into the Post, I only wish you good health, happiness, and a long life to enjoy taking advantage of the kindness of strangers and talking shit about others. #reallyqueen?
But that's not all the Post had to say about Jacobs. The designer also put Post writer Maureen Callahan on blast for her additional story about alleged problems in Jacobs' life and business under the headline "What's Wrong With Marc Jacobs?" The piece was more or less an exercise in character assassination and Jacobs was having none of it. See his response below.
An open letter to MAUREEN CALLAHANBut prior to that post, Jacobs announced he'd be signing off Grindr for the time being. Do you, Marc.
Girl, I think I understand your pain. You're a sick woman. It must be such a sad, unfulfilling and lonely existence to get paid for "writing" (I use the term loosely) an article put together from out of context information "written" by other journalists over a period of time, for different periodicals, in different countries. I can't even imagine your suffering having made a life and name working for what has to be the worlds worst, trashiest, and most irresponsible of "newspapers" (LOL)! I can imagine the powerful and fulfilling feeling you must feel with each piece you "write" that helps yourself and your readers feel better about their lives by putting down others who are so fortunate as to have been blessed with a genuine passion for creation. Those creative individuals who like everyone else has feelings, a sexual appetite, "issues", character defects, and professional ups and downs. If you were a real writer and not the parasite feeding off of the successes and failures of others I wouldn't bother writing my thoughts here. I do feel sorry for you. Please know you are in my prayers. I hope you will someday find something, somewhere that gives you pleasure...and not at another's expense. Should that moment happen for you, please don't thank me. I only wish the best for everyone. Even you. Sincerely and disrespectfully, Marc (Jacobs). #lethimwhoiswithoutsincastthefirststone #youwannacomeforme?
While our mothers might have taught us to ignore nasty gossips and negative nancys, Jacobs likes to call em like he sees em and say how he really feels. Is he the Kanye of the New York fashion world? Whatever he is, we love him.
