Ep 172: Is Mental Illness Contagious?

Comedian Corinne Fisher is back talking the problematic Karl Lagerfeld homages at the Met Gala, another "family friend" who murdered his teenage neighbors, Nazis masking up like little babies at a protest, a trans runner whose victory may not be as shocking as the news is making it out to be, and so much more!

Enemy of the State: Karl Lagerfeld

From The Guardian:

The late creative director of Chanel, who died in 2019, was a behemoth in the fashion world. Yet his list of accomplishments was almost as long as his list of controversies. He said he was “fed up” with the #MeToo movement and questioned the claims of victims who came forward during that time. “What shocks me most in all of this are the starlets who have taken 20 years to remember what happened,” Lagerfeld told Numero Magazine. “Not to mention the fact there are no prosecution witnesses.”

“One cannot – even if there are decades between them – kill millions of Jews so you can bring millions of their worst enemies in their place,” Lagerfeld, who was German, said in 2017. He had apparently taken issue with then German chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to allow Syrian refugees into Germany at the time. “I know someone in Germany who took a young Syrian and after four days said: ‘The greatest thing Germany invented was the Holocaust,’” he added.

As Rachel Tashjian notes in the Washington Post, Wintour has gone out of her way to champion designers who have been embroiled in the worst of scandals. That list includes John Galliano, Balenciaga designer Demna and Alexander Wang, who was accused in late 2020 of drugging and sexually assaulting several victims. Wang has denied the allegations made against him. Wintour dutifully sat in the front row of his comeback show.
