New York fashion week is coming up and one presenter at this fall’s show might sound familiar: Kenley Collins, former Project Runway contestant and recently jailed abuser. Yup, Kenley’s back and that nutbar spoke with The Daily Beast about her new collection and didn’t fail to skimp on the juicy stuff, like what the hell gave her the idea to throw water, a cat, several apples and a laptop at her sleeping ex-fiance.
Kenley actually claims that the whole “throwing a cat” thing was actually way overblown and dismissed the incident by saying “Please. What I really said was, ‘Here! Feed your cat!’ and handed it to him. It was all just really ridiculous.” In fact, it turns out that the whole thing really wasn’t as traumatizing as you might think. She only spent two days in the slammer and was able to leave without a court battle or further charges. From what she says, it actually sounds like she had a bit of fun, “I had those women cracking up! But the girl next to me was in there for, like, stabbing her man in the head, like 25 times. She was hardcore.”
It doesn’t matter if you believe what she says or not (and I don’t. I always thought she was borderline mental.), her new collection should be extremely interesting and something worth looking out for.
Despite how insane she might be, she’s an amazing designer.
I haven’t seen one outfit of hers that I didn’t want to own.
Totally agreed– I love her clothes, but her ‘tude turned me off so much on Runway and on that show, it seems just as important to be somewhat likable. I’m torn on Miss Kenley.
Me too.
I picked her out at the beginning of the season as my favorite designer, but as it went on it definitely turned into a love-hate relationship. I just can’t comprehend why anybody would be so rude to Tim Gunn.
That was it! I forgot that that was the moment I hated her! She was totally rude to Tim Gunn!
I was just about to comment the same thing!! She was such a bitch to Tim, who is the sweetest man ever, and everyone else there. I really was rooted for her until her true colors began to show.
her voice makes me want to pull my ears off and throw them at her.
I know she was mean to Tim Gunn but I still love Kenley. I thought she was funny too. I’m excited to see her collection.
Last year, Monday morning, I wake my then 6yr old son for school. It’s picture day. Can’t wait. He’s freakin cute. When he sits up in his bed I do a double take. From under his bottom eye-lid down to the top of his lip. HUGE BLOODY SCRATCH! Why? His sister got mad the night before and threw that cat at him. Made for a great story every time someone see’s that picture!
