Less than a year before fashion icon André Leon Talley passed away from Covid19 he was nearly evicted from the home he'd lived in since 2004 [click here if you missed that].
Now it has been revealed that his dear friend, designer Diane Von Furstenberg, stepped in to save the day...
From Page Six
Page Six hears that Diane Von Furstenberg wrote a big old check to save her pal André Leon Talley from being evicted from his home before he died.
Talley made headlines in the last years of his life because his one-time friend, former Manolo Blahnik head George Malkemus, claimed he was hundred of thousands of dollars behind on rent for the Westchester mansion he leased from Malkemus and his partner Anthony Yurgaitis.
But sources say superstar designer Von Furstenberg stepped in, allowing Talley to enjoy what turned out to be his final months without the enormous money troubles.
“André was one of my dearest friends,” Von Furstenberg told us when reached for comment, adding modestly, “I would have done anything for him. I would like to respect his memory and George’s for that matter. I have nothing else to say and I thank you for respecting this.”
