There’s a new scam everyday and Joanne would be very proud of this one.
Page Six reports Gavin Barnes duped the fashion world at one of their premiere events, New York Fashion Week.
Gavin sat front row at some high profile shows including, Philipp Plein which was also attended by Kylie Jenner, Madonna, Paris Hilton, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Slick Rick etc. He also managed to show get into Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 5 presentation. How did he do it?
Well, Gavin was with an “assistant” and someone overheard him talking about how he just performed at Meatpacking District celebrity haunt Up&Down until 5 a.m. this week. So, that must be an automatic invite?
He spoke to Page Six and said
“I never said I was Sisqó. People thought I was him, and that wasn’t cool.”
He denied posing as Sisqo but he didn’t deny those seats. He also refused to clarify who he actually is, saying his last name isn’t Barnes.
So, how did he get caught?
Trying to play it big. He reportedly, was trying to get a private jet back to the caribbean and gave his passport information. That’s when someone discovered his real name.
As for the real Sisqo, his manager spoke to Page Six and said this.
Management has no idea who this guy is. It’s flattering, I guess. Thanks for bringing it to our attention … What does his manager look like?
Gavin would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids.
The funniest part about this is he looks nothing like Sisqo. Amazing.
