Well, luckily, it was only two people brashing my brand.

I think it was only two. I think it was just Brynn and then Aaron at the end.

Oh yeah, that was Erin. Uba said she liked the bag and so I don't count her as fashion. Okay, okay, okay. I guess it hurt more when Erin did it because Erin's my friend. Right. It hurt less when Brynn did it. It was actually a gift because I was like, oh, I see you now. Okay, this is the game we're playing? Cool. It did not hurt me in the way that I think everyone expected.

They were like, why didn't you stand up for yourself? I'm like, I don't even need... This is petty to me. Do you know what has happened to me in the 20 years I've built my business? I have been single white female in my own company. I have had things thrown at me. You name it, I've experienced it. So someone trashing a brand just shows that they don't understand business, frankly.

So that was not upsetting to me. It was just like, thank you for the gift. my gut is right. I see you. For Aaron, I was like, that sucks. That really sucks. And then I went low as well. And I clapped back. And here we are today not talking.

You know, that was the disappointment I had because going in and I truly believe this when I had my conversations with production, it was like eight elevated women, all self-made, diverse backgrounds, fun, funny, you know, with who I am and what I stand for and what I do all day long. I would never, I think, have agreed to come into this type of environment had I known.

And maybe someone can say that was naive of me, but that's what I was genuinely told. And it was reiterated many times. And so I think it's just this, you know, like, all right, how am I going to navigate this in a way? I have to remain authentic to me. And I did show more.

There are scenes on the cutting room floor, you know, of fun office stuff with my daughter and photo shoots and dinner, you know, A dinner event, me and Jenna and Jessel and Raquel would too. Jessel and I did this fashion and founders event for 30 incredible designers. That was all there. You know, Uwe put together an amazing panel with Fern Malice and me and Melissa Wood Tepperberg.
