Both Clinton Kelly and the Subject Storm Off the Set of 'What Not to Wear' (VIDEO)
One would think that when you choose to participate in a reality show, you might have some idea what you're in for. And yet, when the latest "target" of Clinton Kelly and Stacy London's 'What Not to Wear' (Tue. 9PM on TLC) was faced with criticism of her current wardrobe choices, she didn't handle it very well at all.It can't be easy to have one of your dresses equated to what a stripper might wear, even if Kelly did try to preface with the caveat that "this isn't about you."
But the girl handled her distress by lashing out. "I wasn't even listening," she said. "Sorry, I tuned you out." It was as if she'd not expected that the pair might say something derogatory about her clothes. You know, like they do every single episode.
Kelly had to step out of the room to allow cooler heads to prevail, and even then the girl seemed confused. "Does this normally happen?" she asked London, who shook her head.
When Clinton tried to explain why he'd gotten upset, that set the subject off herself. "We are giving you as much good advice as we possibly can," he explained calmly. "And you really just don't want to hear it." He felt as if they were wasting their breath.
At that, the girl was off, calling him and the show stupid and mean and other colorful language that allowed TLC's subtitler to use plenty of asterisks. She did have the option of opting out of this whole transformation earlier in the process. Apparently, she had no idea it would be so emotionally difficult for her. Maybe she liked that her dress "can just slide on and off."
