"No Longer Speaking" Carine Roitfeld & Emmanuelle Alt's Friendship "Did Not Survive"
February 10,2011
The saga continues, with a NY Times article penned by Cathy Horyn:
What happened to Ms. Roitfeld was this: she offered to resign, according to several individuals close to the matter. She was frequently absent from the office, on shoots, and when the issue of her management came to a head, she offered to resign. She may have been bluffing, hoping she would be asked to stay, but her resignation was accepted.
...
Her friendship with Ms. Alt did not survive, however. Both women said they were no longer speaking. Neither would reveal the reasons.
One theory i'm thinking about is that Carine might have expected Emmanuelle to back her up, walk away with her. Not expecting her instead to take her position.
