André Leon Talley’s upcoming memoir, “The Chiffon Trenches,” has riled up another Condé Nast alum.
Former Vanity Fair writer George Wayne told Page Six the publisher paid him pennies for his popular column and then tossed him aside — just as Talley claims it did to him.
“My salary was peanuts. They were charging six figures a month to advertise across from my page, and my salary per year was half of what they were charging per month!,” Wayne told Page Six. “André’s catharsis has triggered one of my own.”
In “Trenches,” Vogue veteran Talley claims Condé Nast was incapable of seeing “the world through black eyes.” “He’s right. I was never treated fairly — even André never helped me,” said Wayne, who is Jamaican.
“He never sent me a note or offered anything, but I understand … He never mentored any of the black kids at Condé. I hate to talk in black and white, but facts are facts.”
Wayne has since launched his “Georgie Whirl” podcast and is penning a novel. A rep for Condé Nast did not comment.
