        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fashion maven André Leon Talley slammed his former boss Anna Wintour in a new interview Thursday as a &#8220;colonial broad&#8221; who is steeped in &#8220;white privilege.&#8221;</p><p>The 71-year-old former Vogue editor-at-large showed he has no love lost with the magazine&#8217;s longtime leader, as he spoke out <strong>on Sirius XM&#8217;s &#8220;Sandyland&#8221;</strong> with Sandra Bernhard hours after <strong>Wintour admitted to &#8220;hurtful and intolerant behavior&#8221;</strong> in regard to racial issues at the publication.</p><p>&#8220;[Wintour&#8217;s] statement came out of the space of white privilege,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I want to say one thing, Dame Anna Wintour is a colonial broad, she&#8217;s a colonial dame, she comes from British, she&#8217;s part of an environment of colonialism. She is entitled and I do not think she will ever let anything get in the way of her white privilege.&#8221;</p><p>Talley also predicted that Wintour, 70, would be &#8220;impacted&#8221; by <strong>the hiring of Samira Nasr</strong>, the first female black editor of Harper&#8217;s Bazaar, who replaced fashion veteran Glenda Bailey.</p><p>&#8220;Clearly, that statement comes because this girl [Nasr] is going to run competition rings around her,&#8221; he said.</p><p>&#8220;Her power base has been somewhat affected by the competition of this young African American who is going to be historically the first black female editor of a great, great magazine,&#8221; Talley continued. &#8220;There are only two great magazines, Harper&#8217;s Bazaar and Vogue.&#8221;</p><p>Comparing Wintour&#8217;s note to NFL boss Roger Goodell&#8217;s <strong>recent statement regarding the Black Lives Matter movement</strong>, Talley continued: &#8220;If you&#8217;re going to at least make a statement, name what your mistakes were and own up to it dear, no apologies necessary, all we want is respect, that&#8217;s all we ever asked for.&#8221;</p><p>Talley&#8217;s falling out with Wintour has been playing out in the public eye following the publication of his memoir, <strong>&#8220;The Chiffon Trenches.&#8221;</strong></p><p>In the book, Talley <strong>claimed he was brutally dismissed </strong>from his job hosting the Met Gala red carpet in favor of a twenty-something YouTuber.</p><p>&#8220;This was clearly a stone-cold business decision,&#8221; Talley wrote. &#8220;I had suddenly become too old, too overweight, too uncool, I imagined, for Anna Wintour.&#8221;</p><p>Speaking with Bernhard, Talley said of his dismissal by Wintour: &#8220;Just have the decency to tell me &#8216;Andre we&#8217;re moving on to the right, you are on the left, bye bye, we&#8217;ll find something else for you to do. It&#8217;s been a good day, a good run.&#8217;&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
