Page Six sources at Vogue announced that “neither the magazine nor its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour intends to work with Kanye West after he made a statement regarded as anti-sematic, and his support for White Lives Matter,” it is reported.
According to The Insider “Anna has had enough. She has made it very clear inside Vogue that Kanye is no longer part of the inner circle,” the sources said on Friday, October 21st.
Kanye West has had a long and close relationship with the woman who has led Vogue for the past 31 years, starting from when Wintour first invited him to her annual Met Gala in 2009.
Wintour would later invite Kanye and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian onto the cover in 2014 following their wedding. Wintour has even been spotted wearing Mr. West’s brand products, as recent as last month. When Kanye was beefing with one of her editors, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Wintour had her longtime friend, Baz Luhrmann, film the reconciliation.
The news arrives on the heels of several reports of other brands and celebrities withdrawing their business, and most recently the fashion brand Balenciaga stopped doing business with Mr. West. its own ties with Ye.
If you recall, Karefa-Johnson criticized Ye for wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt at his surprise Yeezy fashion show in Paris, France. When Ye caught wind of her criticism, he blasted the highly-revered editor and said she had no fashion sense.
Ye faced a heap more backlash over his comments and he later spoke with Karefa-Johnson, claiming the two settled their difference
However, after his big feud with Karefa-Johnson, Kanye went on Revolt TV’s ‘Drink Champs’ and all hell broke loose. His comments there led to an unsurmountable load of criticism.
Several celebrities and brands began to withdraw their support of Mr. West. The latest report we shared was on Friday (October 21), when Balenciaga reportedly ended its long-time relationship with Kanye; again after he caused tremendous outrage over his anti-Semitic rants and remarks about George Floyd — which prompted a $250 million lawsuit from the mother Floyd’s daughter.
