Rachel Zoe’s ‘Triggering’ Assistants Remark Prompts Public Pushback From Brad Goreski

The Instagram exchange rekindles a years-long rift dating to his 2010 exit after disputed client‑poaching claims.

Overview

  • In a new Interview Magazine piece, Rachel Zoe called hiring assistants “triggering,” citing betrayal, dishonesty, and saying it is the hardest role to fill.
  • Former assistant Brad Goreski replied on Interview’s Instagram that it was “triggering for the assistants as well,” naming Taylor, Jill, Jordan, Tara, and himself.
  • Jordan Johnson Chung responded “accurate,” while Jill Lincoln posted a waving emoji and stylist Nicky Campbell reacted with a crying face emoji.
  • The exchange revives a feud dating back to 2011, when Zoe alleged Goreski pursued her clients after leaving; he has denied stealing clients and the two did not speak for years.
  • Zoe previously told People she left celebrity styling because she felt repeatedly betrayed by assistants, and outlets noted her representatives were sought for comment on the latest back‑and‑forth.
