#Daaaaaaaayum: Meryl Streep Claps Back at Karl Lagerfeld Over Oscar Dress Debacle

By James St. James on February 27, 2017 11:52 am

Ouch. Don’t come for Meryl, unless you want a public whooping.

Before the Oscars, Streep and her stylist Micaela Erlanger had been in talks with Chanel to maybepossiblyperhaps wear a dress of theirs to the ceremony. Of course, someone of Streep’s stature was going to reach out to dozens of designers, though, that’s just the way Hollywood works. Ultimately Streep and Erlanger went with another brand.

Pissy queen Karl Lagerfeld then went off on Streep to WWD, incorrectly saying that the 20-time nominee had chosen to go with a designer that would PAY her to wear their dress.

So Meryl‘s rep released a statement denying the accusation and had her stylist later clarify the incident in a communication with Chanel. The brand apologized for the mix-up.

But now Meryl herself is speaking out to slam the designer and WWD

Lagerfeld also spoke out, blandly apologizing (without reeeeeeeally apologizing, if you know what I mean).

Karl Lagerfeld’s statement

“Chanel engaged in conversations with Ms. Streep’s stylist, on her request, to design a dress for her to wear to the Academy Awards. After an informal conversation, I misunderstood that Ms. Streep may have chosen another designer due to remuneration, which Ms. Streep’s team has confirmed is not the case. I regret this controversy and wish Ms. Streep well with her 20th Academy Award nomination.”

Meryl Streep’s statement

“In reference to Mr. Lagerfeld’s ‘statement,’ there is no ‘controversy’: Karl Lagerfeld, a prominent designer, defamed me, my stylist and the illustrious designer whose dress I chose to wear, in an important industry publication. That publication printed this defamation, unchecked. Subsequently, the story was picked up globally, and continues, globally, to overwhelm my appearance at the Oscars, on the occasion of my record-breaking 20th nomination, and to eclipse this honor in the eyes of the media, my colleagues and the audience. I do not take this lightly, and Mr. Lagerfeld’s generic ‘statement’ of regret for this ‘controversy’ was not an apology. He lied, they printed the lie, and I am still waiting.”

MERYL IS STILL WAITING, KARL
