Rachel Zoe is reportedly facing fresh criticism from people who once worked for her. Several former assistants and colleagues allegedly have a private WhatsApp group where they discuss their experiences with the celebrity stylist. The latest report comes after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star publicly criticized former employees.
What Rachel Zoe’s former colleagues allegedly said about working with her
Rachel’s former employees reportedly have plenty to say about their time working for the fashion designer. A private WhatsApp group has allegedly become a place for them to share stories about her behavior and management style.
According to Page Six, at least six former assistants are involved in the discussions. Sources claim the group has grown increasingly active in recent months, with members sharing alleged unpleasant workplace experiences.
The reported conversations follow Zoe’s comments about why she stepped away from celebrity styling. She told PEOPLE, “In full disclosure, I just couldn’t trust assistants,” while discussing her past experiences with employees.
She also said, “You have to be able to entrust that in people that represent your work, and if you can’t do that, the system is broken.”
Her remarks didn’t sit well with former assistant Brad Goreski. The stylist previously called her out over an interview in which she described working with certain assistants as “triggering.”
Goreski responded on Instagram, writing, “Triggering for the assistants as well – Taylor, Jill, Jordan, Tara, Me.”
Their disagreements aren’t new. The pair parted ways professionally in 2010, and their relationship later deteriorated. Goreski went on to establish his own styling career.
The most recent report states that the conflict has moved from being just between the former co-workers into a wider area. Nonetheless, Page Six did not release any WhatsApp messages or prove their workplace claims.
So far, Zoe has made no comments regarding these latest allegations. Page Six reached out to her but did not hear back.
