The story behind Melania being snubbed by ‘Vogue’ just got even more ridiculous
The never ending Melania Trump/Vogue drama continues. And, apparently, the bad blood runs deeper than previously reported.A new biography claims Mrs.
Trump was so miffed that Anna Wintour didn’t personally reach out to her before coming to visit Donald Trump after his 2016 presidential election victory that she refused to meet with her.In “Anna: The Biography,” out this week, fashion reporter Amy Odell writes that the ex-first lady was “so offended” Wintour didn’t contact her directly that she “didn’t even say hello” when Wintour stopped by Trump Tower to congratulate the president-elect.Related: Melania furious at staff for not landing her glossy fashion magazine cover, insiders sayOdell spoke to Melania’s former BFF, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who explained that Wintour, who backed Hillary Clinton in 2016, “begrudgingly reached out” to long-term acquaintance Ivanka Trump to arrange a meeting with the Trumps after the election.But apparently, Melania, once an aspiring model, had considered Wintour a friend, and so she was offended when the fashion editor didn’t contact her directly.“Melania didn’t understand that she had been invited to Anna’s events not because she was a friend, but simply because she had appeared on the February 2005 cover of Vogue,” Odell writes.But the petty drama didn’t end there.According to Odell, Wintour’s team “tried twice, once before Trump’s inauguration and once after, to photograph Melania for Vogue.
But in part since they wouldn’t guarantee a cover, Melania wouldn’t do it.”Related: Lara Trump has a hissy fit over Melania Trump being snubbed by ‘Vogue’, calls people “obsessed”In her own book, “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady,” released in September.
