Guess Whose Legal Goons Reached Out Yesterday?
So yesterday I wrote a post in which I copied & pasted a conversation between one of Kanye West’s bodyguards (allegedly) and another blogger. Not that I measure my reader’s interest based on comments, but that particular post generated a grand total of one comment.
So what’s the big deal, right?
Within hours, a Cease & Desist letter landed in my email inbox with a thud! It caught me by surprise. Out of all the Kanye posts I’ve written in the past, why would I get a C&D for that post?
Anyway, after receiving the C&D, I hustled back to the Fashionista.com to see if the text was still there. Of course the entire post was completely removed from the server. The Fashionista must have been shook when they emailed her.
But thank God for Google’s cache pages, otherwise I might be left holding the bag like I made the whole thing up myself.
Do I believe The Fashionista manufactured the conversation like certain other blogs sometimes do? No I don’t. That conversation was too intricately woven together to be fake.
Besides that, why would she make it up?
But a better question is, why would the legal goons pick that particular subject to get excited about?
Is it that our combined posts woke up the sleeping Louis Vuitton Gods, who weren’t aware that their shoes were walking out the back door before they had the chance to hit retail stores?
I don’t know that for a fact. I’m just guessing.

It could also be because of security. I mean with Kanye’s itinerary posted, perhaps his girlfriend’s girlfriend would come hunting for them or something.
ohhhhh sandra!!! they got busted!!!! karaz, that was funny!!lol..you think there running from a girl!! lol..
2 things I thought was strange about the convo:
First, that he was complaining about his job as though ‘Ye wouldn’t find out, and second, was the mention of the free Louie he was set to receive. Maybe him & Kanye are boys like that & it doesn’t matter that he’s making it known that working for him is a pain, i don’t know…just thought it was a bit strange.
I agree starkitten…
Probably mentioning the fact that the name LV was thrown in there, as well as his agenda. Even though he’s a crazy celeb, doesn’t mean there is someone crazier looking to bring harm to him and his entourage.
So what are you going to do, Sandra Rose? Are you still going to post pictures and talk about ‘Kanye Jose’ Alize West, Sr’?
I thought about that when I read the post - Like somebody is gonna be in trouble when they find out the secret is out. See it’s okay when we don’t know the celebs get them for free and we think they paid - ’cause then we rush out and spend our last trying to get it. They (LV’s of the world) make their money of the people who can’t afford it cause the people that can get it for free.
I agree…what’s the big deal? I
Wow a C&D letter for that? It probably was the French.
was it really that important? the bodyguard should’ve kept his mouth closed on the freebies any hoo, that aint professional.
