Perhaps today isn’t the day to even acknowledge the existence of disharmony between women, buuuut this happened last night and if I tell you about it tomorrow you’ll be like, “That’s old, who cares.” Also, I think this is just a good performance of saying everything by saying nothing from Naomi Campbell, so look, there’s my support and for yet another woman’s cause.
On last night’s Watch What Happens Live, a viewer tweeted in that she’d noticed Naomi Campbell and Rihanna unfollowed each other on Instagram. As Andy Cohen was reading the question, it was clear that this was no slip of the finger, Campbell immediately seemed tense, and almost immediately developed a blinking problem.
“No social media pics or communication either. Is everything OK between the two of them?” Cohen finished reading. And then Campbell unleashed an ice-like, “Everything’s fine.” This answer was painstakingly crafted to deflect while leaving a residue of doubt. Basically, everything’s fine, except this response, which was perfect.
“Of course it’s fine,” Campbell continued, grinning like the cat that ate the canary, which come to think of it looks like the supermodel model that ate the pop star. “I’m an actress now, Andy.”
For your reference, here is a rendering of happier times in the Campbell/Rihanna alliance:
Cohen said he was trying to think what the beef could be about. Bad move.
“I don’t have beef,” responded Campbell. “I don’t have beef, especially with black women that I think are powerful and out there. We’re all in the same thing, doing the same struggle.”
So see? That turned out to be uplifting. Sort of. We’re going to keep an eye out for what’s really going on with this one. Check out the clip below:
