Calvin Klein Says Kate Moss Was Difficult


Calvin Klein gave an interview recently and was asked about Kate Moss and her time with Calvin Klein. Remember, this is the nice version. I'm sure if it wasn't an interview that Calvin Klein would have some really interesting things to say about Kate.

Apparently Kate was a great model, but everything else about her was not so great. Specifically he was asked about the time she did a series of ads with Mark Wahlberg. “It didn’t go too well. She didn’t like him at all. He was a pleasure. I have worked with so many women, great ones, and Kate was always difficult.”

Not sometimes difficult. Not that she was in a bad mood sometimes. Nope. She was always difficult. Not even a most of the time. Calvin is not going by a short sample here. Kate was with Calvin Klein for a long time and they paid her a lot of money. If she was difficult to a company that paid her millions think about how she must have treated everyone else who didn't pay her money.

  1. I don't think much of Kate - but as I recall, Calvin Klein brought us underage, heroin-chic models, so I don't think much of him, either.

  2. Meh. Models are b*tches. I think the ones who are not difficult are the rare exception. They tell them not to eat and to smoke, drink, and do coke to stay skinny and then can't understandy why they have a bad attitude?

  3. Of course she is difficult she is jacked up coke head that nobody says no to. She is a permanent 2 year old. I just hope her kid turns out OK.

  4. In my eyes, they all pale in comparison to the goddess Linda Evangelista. LOVE HER and her bitchy ways.

    And, Stephanie Seymour in all her Guns and Roses and Victoria's Secret glory has always been close to my heart.

    Kate Moss must have done something right because her career has been hella long. But being a drama queen on set doesn't surprise me at all. She hit it really big very young. Not that I'm justifying bitchiness, it just seems like the nature of the biz.

  5. I think you lose your right to complain about someone being difficult if you keep on paying them.

  6. a friend of mine is related to Linda Evangelista..shes is very nice and gracious,but bitch ain't cheap!

    as for this old slag with the jacked up grill...who did she blow to become a runway model with bad teeth and under 5'9??

  7. @Susan: Agree totally on Evangelista; she was always my favorite, and I still think no one has come close to her yet. Have you SEEN her latest commercials? She hasn't aged the tiniest bit! I suspect she has a painting hidden somewhere ala Dorian Gray :-)

  8. ahh susan. You are so right. Linda was awesome, Christy Turlington, Yasmeen Ghauri, Helena Christianson. All the models on the Vogue 100 anniversay issue were amazing. There is no model today that can hold a candle to the 90s models.

  9. I don't get her. She is not that attractive. Not ugly, but not attractive like her contemporaries.

    Plus, now it comes out she was always a pain. How has she continued to get work all these years. Going with Jax's theory, someone needs to check for dirt on her knees.

  10. Calvin Klein prefers male models, why am I not surprised?

  11. I really wish the media would stop reporting on this over-rated, rat-faced cokehead. Never, ever saw the appeal.

    ReplyDelete
  12. @jax, she's only 5'6" or 5'7". REALLY short for a model.

    And @Patty, I agree completely. I have never thought she was attractive in the least. There's just nothing pleasing about her face. Don't get it.

  13. Moss has definitely been looking busted as of late. I do think her partying ways will not help her looks down the road. LOL. I always feel badly for her child. I hope she has a team of nannies. I always wonder what Johnny Depp thinks of Kate Moss now.

    Lisa (original) - Oh hell yeah, I've seen Evangelista and her ads - TV and print. She's so flawless. I wonder what she thinks of ANTM. My dream is for her and Isaac Mizrahi and Tim Gunn to have a show.....I die.

  14. I love that slags like this get old and ugly. Take that you nasty girl.

  15. The REAL supermodels still look amazing. Christy Turlington is still ridiculously beautiful. Kate Moss and the whole heroin chic gang made me stop reading Vogue years ago.

  16. As a short female I'd like to say her height was refreshing.

    However, the George Michael Freedom '90 video has all of my model faves..best ever.

  18. christy turlington has always been my favorite model.

    i guess seeing as how it's calvin klein's fault kate moss was thrust upon us in the first place, money trumps difficulties, no?

    ReplyDelete
  19. and Mark Wahlberg always disliked her because Moss wasn't enough sexy for him so....

    Calvin Klein was the first designer to use waif models!

  20. well...at least he liked marky mark.

  21. I only semi-like her because she's a "short" model. Being 5'3 1/2" myself I can appreciate a "short" bitch doing what she does in the world of trees.

  22. Calvin makes fatty clothes now, I'm sure Cocaine Cowboy Kate just looooves that!

  23. Jax: slag is a really strong word. Not, as far as I know, justified by her behaviour in any way - in the most literal sense. This is a very non-sexist site, so can I ask if you have ever used that extremely unpleasant word about men on here?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Slag - Today, usage increasingly finds the word used in the context of referring to persons of any gender considered contemptible. It's also been used to mean "insult in jest" or "tease playfully" in Ireland in particular, but also in some parts of Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. To 'slag someone off', is to insult or criticise them, not necessarily in a serious way.

  25. Yasmin Le Bon and Paulina Porizkova were always my favorites. Yasmin has hardly aged at all, despite the pop star husband and three kids.

  26. Christy Turlington was my fave, but I agree, everyone in the Freedom video was amazing.

    There is just something about Kate Moss, even if she is difficult and short, lol!

  27. SLAG. give me a break, i am quite aware of what this site "allows."

    popsugar is that way if you need something saccharine laced. >--->

  28. Jax and sunnyside: I'm English. And Sunnyside is quite right that to 'slag someone off' is not that strong at all, or that insulting. But that's not how Jax used it, Sunnyside. Jax called someone a slag. That's very strong and very sexist indeed. It's actually one of the nastiest words in British English for a woman, and also has a kind of 'white trash' connotation because of its origins. The equivalent words in American slang would be very unpleasant. Hence my original post. I was wondering if Jax really was aware what a very nasty and hostile-to-women word sh/e had used, and if so, whether she really wanted to come across as grossly sexist.

  29. I looked up the word slag and think it fits Kate:

    Slag is a pejorative slang term, primarily used in United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, to describe women who often engage in casual sex and promiscuous behaviour. Its meaning is broadly similar to the terms "slut" and "skank".

    Brits often use the C word (brace yourselves, I'll type it: cunt *cringes*) very casually, which we find so abhorrent in the US that we actually refer to it as "The C Word", rather than utter it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yep, Mango, we do say 'cunt' casually, but the majority of us wouldn't use it about someone we don't know, who doesn't seem to have done anything worse than take drugs, enjoy her fame, be a diva sometimes on set, and party hard. (As, to be honest, most of us, Brit or American, would in her position!) Enty pointed out a Calvin Klein quote that made it clear that she wasn't at all fun to work with, and that's interesting. It's still an awfully long way away from making her either a slag or a cunt. I enjoy this site a lot, and much of my enjoyment derives from the interesting comments people make. It's a world away from sites whose commenters spew vulgar abuse, which is why I was taken so aback by Jax's. I've got absolutely no bias towards Kate Moss, who could certainly do with spending more time with her daughter (though you could say the same about almost all celebs). I just don't like this kind of vicious sexism, which is why I asked Jax if she's ever used that word about a man on this site.
