Taylor Jacobson Sets the Record Straight on the Drama with Rachel Zoe

After watching the season premiere of The Rachel Zoe Project we knew ish was going to hit the fan after seeing all the crap R Zoe Inc had to say about ex assistant Taylor Jacobson. Tay set the record straight in an interview with TV Guide.

TVGuide.com: So you’ve heard about the premiere. What happened there? Why did you leave?
Jacobson: Uh-huh. I’ve heard a lot about it. … For legal reasons, I’m not really allowed to discuss it, which makes it hard for me to give “the juice.” But what I heard about the first episode is pretty amazing. I heard there is ripping out of pictures and throwing them into the fireplace

TVGuide.com: Yes, she rips out the pictures you and Brad took for Paper magazine and throws tem into the trash. Do you still talk to Brad? You two had become close.
Jacobson: No. You know, you’ve got to sever ties to a toxic environment and go forward. I’m trying to stay positive. There’s obviously horrible s— being said about me in the media. It’s no secret that certain people who shall not be named are trying to blacklist me and get me kicked off jobs and talk s— to some of my clients. There has been a lot of cattiness from certain people. I don’t go into it. People who work with me and know me know I’m not about this bulls—. I’m about the job. I can’t get caught up in this. Ties were severed. Whatever happened happened, and it’s time to move forward.

TVGuide.com: In terms of the cattiness, has there been fallout for you? Has it cost you work?
Jacobson: It’s been a mix. When one door closes, another one opens. It’s definitely been… I don’t want to say it’s been rocky because I’ve been working consistently. I’ve gotten to do a lot of things I wanted to do. But there are people out there who can throw their weight around.

TVGuide.com: The first episode contains flashbacks to your happier times with Rachel. She often referred to you as family. Are you hurt at all by how things have ended?
Jacobson: I have an answer for that, and while I would like to say what I have on my mind, I don’t think it would be good. When you work for anyone high profile, you sign a confidentiality agreement. That’s why I really can’t talk about it. I will say this: I don’t fit into sample sizes! Where did that even come from? I’m not a size zero. I have 34-D boobs! Models are flat. I don’t fit into samples. I don’t understand. It’s the weirdest thing to me. I’m fat.

So, whose team are you on?

Did RZoe Fire Tay for Stealing?

Taylor Jacobson announced that she was leaving her position at Rachel Zoe a while back, and since then the drama has been super intense.

Earlier we reported RZoe’s attempts at blacklisting Tay Tay from the industry and recently having her kicked out of nightclubs, but does Rachel have a good reason for being so peeved?

According to Page Six, “Zoe fired Jacobson in a dispute over high-priced designer wares that went missing from the company’s clothing closet.”

Uh oh. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds. The third season of The Rachel Zoe project debuts later this year and I am hoping for some ferocious, TV shit-talking on Rachel’s part.
