Karl Lagerfeld criticizes Heidi Klum again & mocks Seal’s skin

heidi klum family lax 140609
Karl Lagerfeld really, really dislikes Heidi Klum. Lagerfeld, the head designer of Chanel, had already belittled Heidi and other models who dared to be above a size zero back in February. At the time, Karl tried to act like Heidi was so distasteful to him, he could just dismiss with the comment “We don’t know her in Paris.” Heidi was very classy about the whole thing, probably because she’s gorgeous, has a great career, and seems to be a very, happy, well-adjusted woman.

But Karl still has a hate-on for Heidi, and he’s still mouthing off about her… and now he’s even bringing the hate to Heidi’s lovely husband, Seal. Karl repeated his claim that Heidi was “never in Paris” - which, let me explain, is some of kind of burn in the fashion world. Saying someone has “was never in Paris” is the schoolyard equivalent of “yo’ mama so fat…” Then Karl went onto to mock Seal’s skin, saying “I am no dermatologist but I wouldn’t want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.” Seal was diagnosed with discoid lupus erythematosus when he was a teenager. And Karl is ugly, inside and out:

HEIDI KLUM has been on the receiving end of another bitter attack from designer KARL LAGERFELD.

In February German-born Karl was blasted after saying Heidi was ‘too heavy’ to be a catwalk model.

Now he’s claimed no-one in the fashion industry knows who she is.

The French-based fashionista said: “I don’t know her. Claudia SCHIFFER doesn’t know her.

“She was never in Paris, we don’t know her.”

He also had it in for the pregnant beauty’s husband Seal - taking an evil swipe at the singer’s skin condition.

Karl added: “I am no dermatologist but I wouldn’t want his skin.”

“Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.”

I wonder what Heidi will do? She’s as classy as they come when someone is criticizing her, but she might feel differently if some jerk is picking on her husband. I suspect that Heidi knows how to throw down. Karl should watch his back, because I suspect Heidi will be “in Paris” very, very soon. With a knife.

So, what’s next for Karl Lagerfeld after he mocks someone who had lupus as a kid? My guess is that Karl will go back to what he normally does for fun, kicking puppies.

    Do you really think she cares that much?
    There is more to life than fashion and Paris and she knows it.

    She is rich, gorgeous, generally well liked, she has a great family and they seem really happy together.

    Lagerfeld’s comments are ridiculous and petty and so is he. For God’s sake, the man carries around a teddybear version of himself!

  16. Sounds like this poorly aging old fool is desperately jealous that she and Seal have found a kind of happiness he has never known.

    Jealousy is so unattractive. And like someone else posted above, I don’t even particularly like Heidi or Seal.

  17. @oenix,

    I’m German and I can’t stand her either. I guess it’s over-exposure.Her show, Germany’s Next Topmodel, is in the 100th season (I don’t know) and it’s beyond me why people watch this sh-t. Heidi also promotes about a million of products here and, generally, I find her annoying as all hell. I saw her on some US-American talkshow once and when she started to yodel, that was it. She’s EMBARASSING.

    and while lagerfeld’s last comment was pretty mean, he’s right that Heidi never was a high fashion model.

    He has to grow up …or , in his case , to grow old and shut up !!!!

  19. Are you kidding?! I would never make fun of someone who suffered from a serious illness. Despite what you may feel about Heidi there is no excuse for targeting her husband who has nothing to do with fashion. It has been Heidi’s choice to pursue a career based solely on looks; however, you don’t have to be good looking to have an awesome voice. I personally find Seal to be very attractive and don’t mind his scars.

  25. No need to mock Karl for his homosexuality, just for his comments, please. And to call him a pedophile is just wrong. What is fashion but a giant bitchfest? I happen to think his comments about Heidi not being “known” in Paris are hilarious. Also, the knife “joke” is no joke and doesn’t belong in the post at all.

  26. Karl Lagerfield is a nasty, crusty, hideous old hag. One would think that at his AGE he would be grateful for all the success, money, fame and opulent lifestyle he has had and that he would have a sense of decency. You know, life experience begets wisdom and appreciation kind of stuff.
    He is a bitter, vicious, fart-smelling piece of trash.

  43. Karl is funny and bitchy, but the comment about Seal’s skin was completely unnecessary. It isn’t nice to make fun of someone for a physical deformity caused by an illness.

    That said–Heidi was never in Paris! :) Heehee. It’s true. Heidi is a commercial model and a big nobody in high fashion. Karl Lagerfeld is a genius in the fashion industry. He doesn’t like that she is famous for hosting a show like Project Runway and the German Tyra-style model show, because he figures, “B**ch, those designers will NEVER be the head of Chanel, and you never walked an important runway in your life, so what can you say about fasion?”

    Whatever. Heidi is perfect for a mass audience. She is the Big Mac in a gourmet world. We know North Americans love their Big Macs and anything else they can order from a box and receive through a little window without ever leaving their cars…

  47. just to be fair: I have watched the interview on tv & karls comments have been taken out of context.
    actually he had really nice things to say about seal (being an amazing singer and such) then the host quoted seal saying that karl is an poor old man. karl then replied that he indeed is not that poor & besides being old is no dermatologist but wouldn’t want his skin. he also said that heidi is a pretty girl but not into high fashion, which as said here before is true!

  49. ah yes, and Karl’s face is like a baby’s bottom. I agree that fashion is bitchy, however he looks as though he borrows shirts from Don Cherry.

    My mother has discoid lupus and has to have regular skin treatments to keep stuff like this from happening. If KL ever said anything to her, I’d kick his arse into the next millenium.

    I actually think Seal is unique and attractive. And these two seem pretty happy together.

  50. Me and Trillion, I agree one hundred percent. I also got a kick out of Lagerfeld dragging Claudia Schiffer into the feud, declaring that she, too, didn’t know who Heidi was. Maybe it’s a German thing since all three are German?
    He certainly crossed the line in insulting Seal’s skin, but remember that beauty and fashion are skin-deep.

  51. Lagerfeld, is such an idiot for acknowledging and b*tching about somebody’s “overratedness”. What he said was unnecessarily nasty, and damaged his reputation somewhat. I wouldn’t want to associate with him in any way, regardless of the big time opportunities and the knowledge he has of his trade.
    His actions as well as others, give the self-image of the fashion industry a bad name. I hope he loves free pie in waves.

  59. I like Heidi she seems like such a nice, hardworking person…I don’t begrudge her that at all.

    That said I understand what he means, in fashion she isn’t Coco Rocha or a model that has that kind of high art prescence, walked runaways across europe (esp. Paris) and works with important photographers.

    She is commercial…the model version of American Idol.

  64. I think his comments about Seal were very uncalled for, but I agree with everything he said about Heidi. She was never high fashion and he knows it better than anyone. He’s the head of Chanel for more than 25 years, he designs for Fendi, for his own brand and he’s a photographer to boot. He’s aware of the “who’s who” of the high fashion industry and Heidi was never a part of it. As someone said before, Karl is probably pissed off to see women like Tyra and Heidi pretending to know everything about fashion just because they did some catalogs for Victoria’s Secret. Comparing high fashion models to commercial models is like comparing Target to Dior.
    I love Karl, I think his work is brilliant and, because I love a good bitch, I can’t resist to his appeal. I just don’t like when he crosses the line, like he did this time. If it’s true, actually. Because you never know, with the press.

  65. That was very mean of Lagerfield who is a wanna-be french elitist. How disgusting that he would say anything about another persons facial scars. What a shallow POS. He who hides behind Jackie-O glasses and victorian fans shows the depth of his nasty soul. I’m not a Heidi fan but clearly she knows who she is and doesn’t give a french fig what this old queen thinks.

  67. The only reason she married Seal was because of his money, if he were poor and lived in a getto, she would not even look at him. What they have done to the children is even worse, one looks white, but has yellow/red kinkey hair what a joke she and her family are. Is he too good to marry a black women, I think he thinks so why else would he marry something like her.

  69. @Soulja Guy #69, get real!
    You & I and everyone out there in the African-American Community know damn well that there is no way in hell, any Black Woman would want to date much less marry Seal. He has been rejected by tons of Black Women over the years because of his Facial Scars! He is also British/African heritage & never felt appreciated by African-American Women. Dennis Rodman went through this too. He said he couldn’t even pay a Black girl to date him during his highschool days! Then he becomes famous, so all the ladies started chasing him down & he shuns them & turns to White Women because THEY APPRECIATED HIS LOOK & then Black Women started calling Rodman a traitor. That’s exactly what happened to Seal. I love Seal & Heidi together - she’s the perfect Woman for him!
