We've all heard that rumor. Tommy told Oprah on her show one time in the 90's that his clothes were meant for the crackers and that he was disgusted that they might have caught on in the black community. Anyone who believed that shit is about as dumb as those who, when they get that e-mail from the guy in Darfur saying they have a million dollars they need you to help them with and ask for your checking account #'s, provides them happily. Anyone who knows anything knows that everyone is Darfur has been brutally murdered. DUH! Anyway, Tommy recently cleared it up for the pinheads out there.
Tommy Hilfiger has never been kicked off Oprah's show ... because he's never even been on Oprah. But today, the preppy designer appeared for the first time with O to refute an ugly urban legend that's been circulating for over a decade.
More on the "Tommy is a Racist" urban legend after the jump.
An e-mail first popped up about ten years ago -- and has recently resurfaced -- which alleges that Hilfiger was booted off the set of "Oprah" when he supposedly admitted that he intended his designs for "upper-class white people," not for Blacks, Jews, Asians or Latinos. Turns out that Hilfiger never said anything of the sort -- anywhere -- and that he wasn't even a guest on the show.Hilfiger was so floored by the rumors, he tells O, that he paid FBI investigators "a lot of money" to track down the source, though the closest they got was an unnamed college campus. And, in the end, he says, the rumor's ridiculous because, frankly, what he really wants is money "from anyone that will buy my clothes."
At least he's being truthful with that last part. Next on Dr. Phil. a gerbil appears to state than no one from his community has ever been in Richard Gere's asshole.
