Are Sessilee Lopez and Chanel Iman Having a Tiff?

Fri, 09/25/09 — 11:49:44 AM

>> Yesterday, Sessilee Lopez, who frequently Twittered, announced on the site, "sorry twitter but this is my very last tweet ... we had some good times and bad but now our relationship is over ... "; she's now deleted her account entirely.  Many were left wondering why, but some now think that it may have to do with Chanel Iman.

Two days ago, Grazia reported from London Fashion Week, "Sessilee Lopez throwing a tantrum at Jeremy Scott and Nathan Jenden. 'No pictures please' but lots of tears and chair throwing! Not pretty."  Later, they changed it out to read, "A certain model throwing . . ."  Chanel Iman was backstage at Nathan Jenden, but was not at Jeremy Scott.

Back in April, when Sessilee, Jourdan Dunn, Arlenis Sosa Pena, and Chanel Iman were in London to shoot their cover for i-D, Sessilee Twittered, "The trinity was united again!!! Arlenis, Jourdan, and I at benihana's so much fun!! Pics coming soon via Arlenis camera haha I love my girls," noticeably leaving out Chanel Iman. While in London, she also posted on her Twitter thoughts like, "I am over the b.s," "I feel like a fool and it hurts so bad," and "Blah blah blah blah sounds good but I'm over it."

Here's the kicker — earlier today, Sessilee's mother and manager Janice Celeste Twittered at Chanel Iman: "u shouldn't try to sabotage the other black models. It's bad karma. Don't b friends only in front of the cameras."  She has since taken the post down, but a screen capture can be seen here.  Later, she added in another Tweet: "1 thing about me is I don't lie/make things up. What's right is right & what's wrong is..."

Sessilee didn't tweet about the Trinity back in April, it was during her recent time at LFW...they were still fine back then.

Not surprised at all about what Chanel is capable of.

I do feel that Chanel puts on a big act. She seriously seems like a bitch sometimes backstage and off camera!

I have had the pleasure of working with Chanel on an advertorial shoot and she was angelic from start to finish.

Some say Sessilee Lopez is infact the one starting the drama. Sessilee hasn't been very nice to Chanel Iman. Sessilee Lopez and Her mom are both very problematic. No wonder Sessilee Lopez went into rage backstage by throwing chairs. These two aren't angels, I'm sure they've both done things to sabotage one another.

Also, spys say chanel is a bit scared of what's going on, that her boyfriend has been accompany her since New York. The problem did not start in London, they were beefing before fashion week started, it just erupted in LFW.

wrong! i'm totally not surprised that chanel is to blame. she is very difficult and acts like a premadonna backstage. in nyc fw she laughed down the runway in the arise and dkny show. talk about professionalism. she's very icy and the numerous times i've seen sessilee she's always been fun, well mannered and humble.

Chanel is a BITCH she is totally jealous of Sessilee! And it sounds like Sessilee's Mom is just defending her daughter, who wouldn't? This beef is ongoing, not new...I think it started when Sessilee stole Ryan Leslie from Chanel. From what I heard he never wanted Chanel in the first place.Chanel is the total epitome of Crabs in a basket.....

I'm driving models around milano all year, so i met many models, and Sessilee is absolutely lovely! I met her 1 year ago and she was nice.....now, i met her in the last days during fashion week here in milano, and all the success she's havin has not changed herself, she's still very kind with everybody, not acting like a diva at all.
I think all the story with chanel started because of chanel, i'm sure she's jelaus of sessillee and of all the success she's having.
I don't know what happened in london in that backstage, but i'm sure that sessillee cannot throw chairs....she's too nice, well educated (so i'm sure her mom is nice too), and lovely to do something like that, and if she was crying as someone says, probably it was for some serious thing and not because she was nervous or some other stupid reasons i read somewhere. And probably chanel is not so smart and she cannot understand some things....
It would be also great if some very important magazine don't judge someone's behaeviuor if they don't know exactly what happened. Thank you

For whatever it's worth ... I don't know any of these girls but based on what I saw in the i-D shoot video Jourdan seems to be able to go beyond all the B.S., Sessilee seems like a diva, Chanel seems like a diva who tries to be nice, and Arlenis is the friendly, genuine, warm one. I'm not sure if it's really being a diva or just being (too) competitive as models. But I like all of them. Very few models of color out there ... pls. get along!

Sessilee is a lovely girl. Worked with her many times and no problems at all. I know that she actually tries to stay out of the media and is a very private girl. Chanel just the opposite. Negative or Positive publicity, she'll eat it up and I do believe at anyone's expense unfortunately. No model in their right mind, even Naomi would throw chairs backstage as the paparazzi would be all over them and besides that the girl would be kicked out of the show. So I say don't believe the hype. I've seen Sessilee with the other models and they all love her, well maybe except for one.

And 1 more thing I don't get n2 all these blogs but whoever said Chanel is jealous of Sessilee has Got to be Stupid as hell... Chanel's career has been very successful since she was 15... What can Sessillee get or do that Chanel can't??? I would never say anything about Sessilee because 1) I don't know her and 2) My circle of friends don't disrespect otherS... We just worry about us and those who support us... Ciao, Ciao

Worked with both girls several times and I know this and this only - believe what you will but don't be nieve ok?

Chanel started hated on Sessilee when Sessilee surprised everyone by being on the cover of Italian Vogue period. That's when she started being mean to Sessilee. Sessilee started ignoring her and Chanel still being high school-ish started playing "Mean Girls." Sessilee isn't going to take her bull and doesn't hide her emotions - she's upfront- you know what she's feeling. Chanel is the opposite and will play nice but do devious stuff like leek bogus stuff to the media to her advantage. She's driven by the Korean-side to be the "Perfect Super Model" - nothing less is acceptable.

So far everything she's tried to do to the girl has basically back fired. She absolutely has no reason to be jealous but being driven to be the best with blind ambition means - knocking everyone else out of the game (shame as it really doesn't need to be that way). But remember, Sessilee is still over Chanel on Models.com as the better model. I'm sure that eats her up. Sorry but it's true.
