HeidI Klum tells Page Six that she received a racial backlash after she seemed to dismiss Gabrielle Union’s claims that she suffered under a toxic work environment while serving as a judge on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”

But on Wednesday at the amfAR gala at Cipriani Wall Street, Klum told us, “A lot of people got mad at me. I was called, for example, ‘a white woman.’” She added, “I think it is important for everyone to speak their truth. I think that when there is a story, it should be told. I had a different story.”

Klum said, “I can only speak to what I saw — it has nothing to do with what color I am. I am a human so I just looked at what I saw.”

Um, yes, Ms Klum, you are a white woman are you not? Do you consider the plain statement of fact as to your racial identity to be shameful?

She shares three biracial children with her former husband the singer Seal.

[robowombat]

True. Indeed she could have another three with Seal's brother Walrus and it wouldn't change her racial identity. The woman goes on as though the insulting part was being correctly identified. I am sure if in a argument someone said ‘Why, you, you, White Man!’ I would probably break out laughing.

Trying to care about any of them ...

Nope.

[Tax-chick]

Have you ever thought about how weird that sounds, “She shares three children with ...,” and similar locutions?

amfAR gala

Had to look up what amfAR is/was, (What passes for “journalism” really sucks these days).

amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, known until 2005 as the American Foundation for AIDS Research

Just reading about amfAR and the WhollyWeird glitterati involved, I felt ill.

[Tax-chick]

Yes, they are a real mess.

Haven’t you heard?
White is the New N***er.

She shares three biracial children with her former husband the singer Seal.

And Trump is a nativist xenophobe who is married to an immigrant.

Don't try and use logic to analyze these people, it will just make your head hurt.

Another famous Divorcee.

Which is proof that there is nothing that white women (or men) can do to prove they are not suffering from toxic whiteness.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

“Sharing children” does sound strange. The couple is divorced sadly.

toxic work environment while getting paid $10 million a year. Just awful working conditions.

[SaraJohnson]

Well, would it be racist to dismiss a Black woman who spoke up “Oh, you’re a black woman.” Wake up toodles. We are not in Kansas anymore.
