Just when we thought black model beef would take a backstage exit, it seems two new models in the game are having problems getting along. Chanel Iman and Sessilee Lopez have been getting into brawls at Fashion Week.

During London Fashion Week, critics were buzzing about how Chanel Iman’s boyfriend was accompanying her to every show.  While people assumed it was just love, others say it was because she was worried about fellow model Sessilee Lopez starting some mess.

Some say Sessilee is known for starting trouble and most recently had a tantrum backstage at a show and began throwing chairs at people. On the other hand, people say it was Chanel who started rumors about Sessilee because of her jealousy that Sessilee got the Italian Vogue cover and she didn’t.

Chanel and Sessilee are said to have had beef before London Fashion Week, but apparently that’s where it erupted. There is no reason for the beef that we know of but the two are known to not like each other.

Don’t tell us these two are the new age Tyra and Naomi… Damn, just when we thought we were on the come up.

    Who cares.

    Okay, it is widely known that Chanel Iman started the rumor about Sessilee throwing chairs backstage. If you’ve been backstage at a fashion show, you would know that you can’t throw a comb without hitting someone else and that it’s full of paparazzi so if she was throwing chairs there would be plenty of photos to back it up. I love how one blog writes something then other blogs pic it up and it now becomes fact – no such thing as responsible reporting anymore, huh?

    No they don’t get along and the real reason is because Chanel Iman became jealous when Sessilee got the cover of Italian Vogue and she didn’t! There you go! That’s how it started so don’t blame Sessilee, she’s the innocent one here but she’s from Philly and she ain’t going to take Chanel’s BS.

    Oh what stressful lives they live. *insert sarcasm*

    Cynthia

    They are too pretty to beef LOL

    Cat

    I guess this really is your typical gossip site. THIS INFO IS COMPLETELY FALSE. There is absolutely no “beef” going on between these two beautiful women!

    Nic L

    This is funny because I just saw them in a shoot in Allure Magazine’s October issue. I could see there being some beef because Chanel Iman def got all the better clothes and shots. Seriously! Just take a look at it. Even in the pics of them together Chanel Iman looks amazing and Sessilee Lopez looks like a man…

    Stand Up Straight

    I know Sessliiee a model but that pose gotta go… everyone coming up too fast. Swear they the *****, we have never even heard of you until now..

    fallback some and take notes..

    Larry

    Who cares?

    what a shame

    I'm Just Me: KEEPING IT REAL SINCE 1983

    I don’t think it was about the Italian Vogue. Chanel has really been big for what 2 years now, she has plenty of time to get on that cover.

    But i really hope that this is not true. We as minorities in this business must stick together. And they seem so young to be so worried about mess like this.

    BastetsMeow

    Wow! Sorry to hear about the Chanel-Sessilee scrap. I will admit I don’t know about these two, but if it’s true that Chanel is starting this BS, then I think it’s sad. Any profession where females dominate, there will be drama. But in the fashion industry, where whites dominate like 99.9% of it, you would this drama btwn. the black models will cease. Has Chanel not learned anything from the whole Tyra/Naomi mess?

    On a side note, I think Sessilee takes better pics and she looks more haute couture than Chanel, hence her getting the cover of Italian Vogue. Both women are very gorgeous though and can rock the runway.

    billie

    I don’t think this is true…. more Bossip lies. The got along great during the cover shot for ID’s amg September issue. Check out the youtube video of them for proof.

    nicky

    Why do i have a feeling that the media is trying to start a cat fight.

    seriously?

    if memory serves me correct they ALL got the cover of the italian vogue because there were like 5 different covers and chanel was one of them. unless we’re talking about an upcoming issue.
    they need to be worrying about getting on the cover of us vogue. now THAT would be a feat..

    DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    wow and they say white people dumb but im black.

    Get your facts straight

    Ok , I just read a handfull of articles claiming sessilee is Dominican and Portuguese, hmm I guess that make her i dunno ,,HISPANIC, SO when you say black model beef, I guess your wrong once again

    Tara

    I don’t even know y I am posting I have no time for ppl who call themselves Shiraz Gucci…I will kill my PARENTS if they ever called me that and my friends will kick my ***** if I called my self Shiraz Gucci

    Masie_UK

    These girls aren’t fully black, you can tell. they’re too pretty and exotic. I love both of them and hope they dont beef.

    P

    I bet this is another made up story from BOSSIP. You can’t believe half the ***** on this site.

    Hannibals Dad

    SHE MUST GOT GOOD HEAD OR PUSS, CAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS SUSPECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    veve

    get your facts straight most domincans have black blood in them and you can be portuguse and be black( hell portugal’s most recent top model Ana Sofia is black) we since portugal owns different countries in africa o once owned. sessilee is well know as a black model in the fashio nworld hell she walked the Victoria’s Secret show last yr. and she did the black model cover for Italian.

    eeh?

    chanel aint black shes mixed,half black and half korean dumb *****es

    Luena

    My Dad is from Lisbon- Portugal and we do NOT call ourselves Hispanic. So, PLEASE do not throw labels arounds. Educate your self and then come and talk with grown up’s.

    Jessica

    There is a RULE. One drop of black blood makes u black. If your Mama is from China and your Papa is Black…you BLACK. That is why Mariah is BLACK and Wentworth Miller will always tell you he’s BLACK, you can be black mexican thats ur problem…but u Black. My Mother is from French West Indies and she aint HISPANIC either. You South American’s ppl ALWAYS want to Claim someone innit. Why don’t you look at the ***** MAP. Black ppl from New Zealand who are not even biologically African Black THEY claim to be Black so, I dont even see the value of claiming a minor race.

    chileboo

    once again bossip this is an incorrect story. sessilee lopez is a sweetie!!! it’s chanel iman who has the attitude. chanel even made sessilee delete her twitter page because she was starting mess. chanel is jealous as sessilee booked way more new york, london and milan shows then chanel

    Lola

    Team Sessilee! :)

    greeneyedsoul

    Team Jourdan Dunn, Alrenis Sosa, and Gracie Carvalho- my favorite young black models!!
    And for all you folks out there that dont know, Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity, not race!

    eeh?

    Jessica only in america the one drop rule is used smh *****ody calls mariah black over here they call her mulatto or biracial and yes chanel iman isnt black shes mixed and stop claiming everybody to be black mixed people doesnt want to be *****ociated with one color when they are mixed

    QUEEN

    two ugly chicks will never get along so wht lets move on

    tony

    I love that early post, “shut up and be pretty” you both collect about $50,000 or more each freaking day!

    tony

    there was really no black models @ Milan fashion week, Protest Prada, Versace,Cavalli, a complete snow storm on the runways!

    Neni

    Sessilee is NOT black she is DOMINICAN, please get it right because there aren’t enough Dominicans in the Modeling Industry. She works hard and she is representing our people

    Supreme

    Sessilee takes some bad pictures! Shes like the new Grace Jones. But Chanel has been getting all the shine lately. I wont call them black but theyre both mixed with different ish so ill call them Women of Color I love them both but we need to unite! Not need to fight LOL just love that a model of color is getting on the cover period.

    ItsMeSnitches!

    Sessilee is not HISPANIC at all! She is BLACK she claims her heritage is Hispanic, but she is talking like waaay back in her family. I went to school with her, I think her paternal grandmother is mixed with Portuguese somewhere waaaay down the line, and her mother is BLACK but lightskinned, her maternal grandmother is BLACK and they originate from FLORIDA! Everyone has something mixed in them if you keep going way back in the family tree!

    Married Woman

    Both of them could use some FOOD, good old fashion food. Don’t care what kind of food, any food would do. That type of skinny is f’n ridiculous and I hope my daughters (i got 3) don’t fall into the trap.

    sarcasatire

    AFRO-LATINO is the phrase.
    My ancestors are AFRO-CUBANO…I’m black.
    My child’s dad is Brazilian..or AFRO-BRASILEIRO..means he and my baby are BLACK!!

    Let’s not get nationality confused with race, people!

    Dominicans can be BLACK! They seem to hate themselves the most..i live in a dominican community and they spend more money straightening their kinky hair than the African-American girls do! Why do you think their hair salons became so popular with blk girls? Cuz many domincans have the same texture hair and have been covering it up for decades!!

    VA

    who are they?

    Viperz

    @ Backstage Babe & goons, you’re all wrong.

    Chanel didn’t start the rumor about Sessilee throwing chairs. Some backstage reporter that works for the magazine Grazia put it in her blog. Secondly, chanel ain’t jealous of Sessilee. Please. Chanel is the top black girl on the runways right about now and Sessilee is mad because she looks like a man and she has bad skin.

    both are too damn pretty for this non sense *smh

    Junee

    chileboo: Chanel can’t make *****ody delete their OWN Twitter acct. Sessilee deleted her acct on her own, and for the record Chanel has been booking and walking more shows than any other black model at the current time during the ongoing Spring/Summer 2010 Presentations. So Chanel isn’t jealous of Sessilee’s runway work. *****ody is sure what caused the two to fallout but sources say it started way before fashionweek started it just hit the fan during LFW. And also the Italian Vogue All Black issue featured Liya Kebede, Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell and Sessilee Lopez, Chanel has not had a Vogue Italia cover yet although she has been featured in the mag several times.

    Honesty

    Jessica, you’re a MORON. The ODR is dead. The days of slavery are OVER, you’ll have to join thr 21st century now.

    Furthermore, Wentworth has NEVER said he was black, only mixed. And he plays white characters all the time. I don’t consider Mariah black and neither does 95% of the world’s black population.

    Anyway, Sisselee is a black Hispanic. She’s racially black-African (mostly) but culturally Hispanic. Many Hispanics have African heritage.

    Masie_UK

    SHUTTUP JESSICA, you ogre.

    I have black in me enough to look exotic,without looking too black the rest indian and irish. I would never consider myself black. IdioT!

    tony

    Married Women please shut up! Everybody knows that in order to be a TOP fashion model, the first requirement is to be slim, so they can’t eat like your fat ***** does! Sounds like you and your daughters are hating on them. Go eat some cheesecake and dream about being slim!!!!!!!!!!!!

    [...] 1, [...]

    Mikel

    Look I use to know this girl Chanel and she’s one of those sociopathic bishes like from a horror movie who will make you be her friend then push you in a frozen lake. She’s crazy and you have to ask yourself who’s the media ho? Not Sessilee. BTW that story about Sessilee was leaked to the press by ’someone’, the reporter wasn’t there! Ummm hummm Ummm hummm

    Carmen

    I know for a fact that Chanel told another model when Jordan first got pregnant that all she had to do now was to get rid of Sesily. I hope leaking this to the press isn’t part of her plan.

    wifey06

    how *****ing petty.. barely none of us out there and they have to beef over gigs..

    are you guys serious?

    they are going aorund the world acting like a bunch of N!ggs

    black folks really need to stop supporting or respecting these people if they can not at least act like decent people why they are representing us!!!!

    you ca not get baddest black chick in my book acting like aN!ggs.. you just get lost inteh crowd with the rest of them.

    I wish america would recognize real beauty without all the fakeness and enhancements. because if you took naomi wig off she looks like kimmora husband but worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Don't get it twi$ted

    Sessilee = FAKE.

    Nuff’ said.

    ASP

    Actually, I just read in the November ‘09 issue of Teen Vogue that Chanel is only 1/4 Korean. Therefore, I consider her black with a little korean, ya know? Not biracial like half and half. Her mom was put up for adoption in Korea because she was half black. I doubt that she’s extremely proud of her Korean part because of that! But I bet she identifies as black and that it says black on her legal information! People only start to claim peiple who are mixed with black as biracial when they’re successful or pretty!

    Madame Q

    It’s sad to see how long we can go on talking about skin tones. Unfortunately we as people will never go too far if our vision of ourselves never change. It’s unfortunate that society has brian washed our communities about what beauty should look like. It’s sad to hear people say “she’s too pretty to be black”. My family originated from the south of the USA and from the West Indies and everyone of us are gorgeous. My friends who are from different parts of Africa and from South America are gorgeous. Also, why do people think only black celebrities can be pretty? They were regular people before being famous, right? It’s also very sad to hear Afro-Hispanic people stray away from their African Identity. Brazil, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama and so many other countries had more African people than the United States. The Spaniards took over those countries and raped and or married African women. The French did the same in Haiti and other countries, this does not mean they’re not African, they just have a French culture. If you can’t accept who you are, you have some real issues. Most likely you’ll p***** that same feeling of hatred towards your kids and that is so not cool. I’m proud to be who I am and especially because my ancestors fought so hard to make sure I can walk around equally with my head high. African Americans fought so hard for all races to be created equal. This whole, color crap is crazy, get over yourselves. I have cousins and friends who are of 100% African decent with Irish skin tones with straight hair. You can never tell by looking at someone who they are and where they are from. Be clear and educated before you go *****uming. Lets think about it, Unless your 100% Spanish and I’m talking Spaniards not Hispanic (which is a man made race) you will be treated as a person of color. That it in itself is a whole different fight but if we can’t except who we are as people of color first, we will never be able to fight the bigger war. Oh yeah and one two words, Michelle Obama!
