NEW YORK, Oct 28 — Journalists, you don’t want to mess with Marc Jacobs.
The former Louis Vuitton creative director took to Instagram on Monday to vent about two articles about him in the New York Post.
In a nutshell, Page Six ran an “exclusive” on a 10-person orgy that the designer allegedly hosted, with participants found on gay-friendly social media app Grindr over the weekend.
An hour after the Page Six story was published, Jacobs posted twice on Instagram to address the report.
In the first post, he announced to his 330,000 followers that he was bidding farewell “for now” to Grindr:
In a second Instagram post showing a screenshot of the story, Jacobs disputed its description of the orgy: “Wild??? I’d say ‘MILD.’” A “source” had told the paper that there were drugs and “average, chill people who didn’t have any attitude” involved.
Jacobs wrote, “I only wish you good health, happiness, and a long life to enjoy taking advantage of the kindness of strangers and talking [s***] about others. #reallyqueen?”
Jacobs then addressed another New York Post story by Maureen Callahan on his struggles with drugs and his public falling out with longtime business partner Duffy and artistic collaborator Juergen Teller. “All is not well in the house of Marc Jacobs,” wrote Callahan.
Jacobs’ response can be seen in the following unfiltered Instagram caption:
Many of the comments on Jacobs’ timeline applauded the designer’s seemingly unfiltered outrage at The Post, though some cheekily asked where their invite to the orgy was.
