Tim Gunn's Thoughts on Kenley Collins

Posted on March 19, 2009

You probably heard that Kenley Collins, a finalist from season 5 of Project Runway, was arrested yesterday from throwing things at her boyfriend including a cat and a laptop. Kenley told that New York Post that it was all a big misunderstanding.

Collins has now been told to stay away from the apartment. But she was permitted with police escort to retrieve her belongings yesterday. Penley was in the apartment at the time.

As cops carried her luggage out the door, Collins gleefully posed for pictures,

"Zak blew this out of proportion in the police report," she said. "It was a break-up that went badly. He got what he wanted. I broke up with him. I just thought that we weren't ready to get married."

The Post article also says that animal-control officials won't pursue cruelty charges if the cat wasn't injured.

Tim Gunn says viewers would have turned off their TV sets if they heard as much of Kenley as he did. Here's what Tim Gunn had to say about Kenley in an interview with Apartment 34.

"If the audience saw and heard as much of Kenley as I did people would have turned their televisions off. The editing is really kind to everybody and had the editing not been very deft with her, it would have been the Kenley show. As I was making my rounds around the workroom she'd laugh inappropriately when I was talking to someone else. She'd yell her own comments out. And on the runway during the question and answer session with the judges she would laugh inappropriately during most of it."
