Notes:
- He's always claimed to own the mansion he lives in, but he's now saying that he asked his "long time trusted friends" to buy it for him, and that they agreed to transfer ownership once he finished paying off the 1 million+ dollars back to them.
- Owners (including former Monolo Blahnik CEO) says there was no such agreement, that he was simply a tenant paying rent . he hasn't paid rent and needs to leave .
- Fashion industry is going against Andre and are backing his landlords
André Leon Talley eviction gets ugly: Insiders back ex-Manolo Blahnik CEO

Fashion insiders are backing former Manolo Blahnik CEO George Malkemus in the messy legal battle to evict Vogue legend André Leon Talley from his New York mansion.
The Post exclusively revealed Talley has filed a bombshell lawsuit in Westchester Supreme Court claiming Malkemus and his business partner and husband, Tony Yurgaitis, were unfairly forcing him out of the $1 million White Plains home he says he owns.
But Malkemus and Yurgaitis insist they are the true owners, and had leased the picturesque colonial property to Talley, alleging he owes them up to $500,000 in rent.
The fashion insider, who asked not to be named, said, "I worked for George Malkemus and Tony Yurgaitis for many years, and can confidently say that [Talley's] accusations are complete stuff and nonsense.

"They are two of the most generous, loyal and forgiving people on the planet. They would give you the shirts off their backs and would never expect them to be returned. That they've maintained these qualities for decades, in an industry made up of so many egomaniacal vipers, is astonishing.
"They are also extremely private, so I can only imagine they feel betrayed and saddened that their friendship and devotion have been distorted into a web of petty lies."
Malkemus — who has more recently partnered with Sarah Jessica Parker on her SJP shoe brand — last year launched an eviction action against Talley in a bid to get him out of the palatial White Plains property, where the famed fashion editor has lived since 2004.

!!!!!!!!!!! :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
White Plains is cute but renting since 2004?
:disgusted:
He is a MESS.
this is really sad .
If what he's saying is true, this basically means he took out a mortgage with his "friends" instead of an actual bank
which means his credit wasn't where it needed to be in order for him to buy the home himself
if this court battle fails him he's shit outta luck cuz his heyday has long passed so I don't see how he's gonna get back to making enough to perch in million dollar properties again
either he was gladly being underpaid by those white fashion people just to sit at their tables or he was getting Paid what he deserved and was foolishly spending it. This is incredibly embarrassing... especially for someone his age, cuz there's not much room for him to REBOUND from this if it falls apart on him.
I believe Andre . I believe they had an agreement of some sort but his #1 priority shoulda been paying that mess off so he could get that paper of ownership in his hands from them. ASAP . From the get go
Friends come and fuckin go. Not him assuming they'd be friends forever
he always gave me delusions of grandeur
Is there footage

There may be a little bit of both but I'm inclined to believe he was living above his means. I mean it's been 16 years and he's always perched in designer this and designer that but he doesn't own his home? Granted maybe he was gifted a lot of the stuff he has but this is really a mess :dead:
Either way this is very sad

yeah the fact that he had to take out a loan With his friends leads me to believe there were credit issues ... which could speak to him not managing funds properly
Either that or maybe he had good credit but just wanted a house that was beyond his means . A bank isn't gonna lend u money on something they know u don't make enough to pay back
Either way it's def sad. Usually these stories are a kii but i def feel underlying racism considering the parties involved . Said to see a black older gay man who found success going out like this .

If what he's saying is true. It's crazy how he didn't think to get the "agreement" in writing.
This is the end result of being a white man's whore I guess.

QuoteThe papers allege that in 1999, Talley needed to buy a new car but was unable to do so because of "issues with his credit." Malkemus allegedly offered to buy the car on his behalf, using $45,000 in funds provided by Talley.
Then in 2004, Talley was renting a home that developed a mold problem and needed to find a new place near New York. "At the time, Talley's work schedule was particularly demanding and he could not obtain traditional financing," the lawsuit claims.
so he's had bad credit for 20 years
this is embarrassing
how you this big fashion guru but dont own a home?
I do feel like he has the clout to bounce back from this

is he ... slow?
this is crazy to me, but then if his friend always did the loans maybe he never bothered to build his.
they were no doubt using him as a tax write off fest

How embarrassing. He probably felt like his rich friends would back him whenever he needed them to. I don't think this is an uncommon practice in that life tbh. Just like we throw friends a $100 here and there, I think celebs do the same. It's unfortunate that he was so dependant on everyone else tho
He's too old to be so dumb.
When it comes to finances, you can't just take peoples word for it. You contact your attorney and get EVERYTHING in writing. Baby if you "owned" the house, you should have a deed by now.
Best wishes.

:diddraispoot:
His credit history kinda gives credence to their claims of him skipping out on his "rent" though
they were the dumb asses for basically loaning someone With bad credit a million dollars :omf:
what did u think the outcome was gonna be?
seems like the friendship was pretty blinding on both sides of the fence here

I just .... NO credit for 20 years?
and it seems like a sane person would be modest in those types of situations. If his credit was bad then a 45k car really wasn't needed .... :kii: at most spot me 5k to get me something that runs until my mess clears up lol
like ... I really want him to LEARN from this :uhh:
Fddvvcjdbfbf
You think his ass was gonna be in a used Toyota Corolla mess
I think part of it was maintaining an image mess
I can imagine him thinking that he couldn't be seen in off brand clothes and driving broke down cars ... being "Andre Leon Talley " and all
I think that's how a lot of celebs End up laying in a financial ditch . Especially black celebs ... our community generally doesn't have a lot of conversations about managing or building wealth ... which kinda makes sense considering that A) we have bigger fish to fry like cops shooting us in the back of our heads for sneezing the wrong way and B) Many of us don't have money to begin with and are simply tryna survive week to week ... let alone save and plan on a monthly basis
hopefully people reading this Story everywhere will take something from It though. Sucks he has to be an example but there's a lot to unpack and learn from what's happening to him ....on so many levels .
He really pissed Anna Wintour off when he came out and said she was racist as hell. I wouldn't be surprised if she told them to toss his big ass out.

Most likely..
This is embarrassing.
I've seen people online says things like, "everyone is not meant to purchase a home, some choose to rent". There is a lot of money to be made by purchasing a home in the right area.
It is shame that a man who was Vogue's creative director since 1988 would not own a home. New York City was actually more affordable back during the height of his career. Homes that were purchased for 1 million dollars in 1990 are selling for 20 million. Some people can be so smart yet so careless.

right
When I saw 1 million being the price tag for that home years ago
I was like omg . That's LOW as hell for what real estate is worth in NY now . I can only imagine what it's worth now
Probably part of the reason his "friends" want him tf out of there . They would make a LOT more money getting him out and selling for current market value than finishing their 1 million deal with him.
He fucked himself over big time by not getting that deed transferred to him ASAP
Would have been a HUGE investment for him
I have a summer home!
If he was renting, where is the rental contract?
I think the issue is that nothing about this agreement seems to be in writing
whether it be a rental contract, a lease-to-own contract , etc .
only solid thing here is the deed to the home which is in possession of the gorls who are tryna kick him tf owt

Young Andre :stressed:
to be gay, black, and SO amazingly talented and knowledgeable that they had no choice BUT to make a seat for him on their team. ❤️
But to see his poor life choices put him in a position of struggle towards the final quarter of his life when he should be simply enjoying the fruits of his long labor at this point .
The fact that he began financially planning for his retirement at 65 years old?!! My heart breaks for him . Hoping he pulls through
