On last night’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” “Orange is the New Black” star Laverne Cox along with fashion legend Andre Leon Talley joined Andy Cohen in the clubhouse to chop it up about an array of topics. But one in particular had us raising our eyebrows. More on that in a sec.
The “OITNB” star, rocking a Haute Hippie dress and custom shoes, and the former VOGUE editor-at-large, styling in a Valentino Couture caftan, sat down to discuss Caitlyn Jenner’s fashion choices, Andre making a cameo on the upcoming season of “Empire,” and Laverne returning for another season of the hit Netflix series.
But, when Andy did his “Jackhole of the Day” segment…we pressed paused, rewind and play several times to make sure we heard him right. He gave the “Jackhole of the Day” to Hunger Games teen starlet Amandla Stenberg for CHECKING Kylie Jenner about her cornrows. If you missed, Amandla read Kylie for filth as she schooled the reality star on cultural appropriation. Get all of the deets HERE.
Here's what Andy said,
“Today’s Jackhole goes to the Instagram feud between Kyie Jenner and Hunger Games star/Jaden Smith’s prom date Amandla Stenberg who criticized Kylie for her cornrows, calling it cultural appropriation. White girls in cornrows…is it ok or nay Laverne and Andre?”Andre responds, “To me it’s fine.”
Laverne responded, “Umm….Bo Derek.”
So neither of them thought to defend the fact Andy calls a 16-year-old black girl a jackhole on national television? Mmk.
While Laverne and Andre didn’t have much to say, folks on Twitter did. Some even calling on others to BOYCOTT the Bravo network after Andy’s comments. Below are a few of their tweets:
