McDaniel revealed:
“One time we went to Milan [and] they treated us like s–t,” “And fired the lady,”
Savanna, 39, added:
“We had an appointment”. “And they tried to act like it was …”
McDaniel went on:
“I said, ‘Baby, you caught the wrong one today,’” “You want some smoke? You done caught one. I am crazy like that,” “I said, ‘How many bags you got? Ten?’”
Savannah said: “They brought out everything,”
As they were led into a private area filled with macarons, champagne, and caviar, the two described how the Hermès employes “closed down that whole motherf–king store.”
In a different incident, McDaniel revealed that she also advocated for the dismissal of a male Chanel employee after he informed Savanna that she was not allowed to handle a pocketbook during their visit to the store’s Paris branch.
Signed, a holding company that supports women-owned companies and media endeavors, was co-founded by Savanna and McDaniel. Additionally, they co-host the podcast “Everybody’s Crazy.”
