<\/p>\nAndr\u00e9 Leon Talley sent a heartfelt thank you to his supporters on Wednesday as he fights eviction from his Westchester mansion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot thank you all enough for your outpouring of love and concern. I am healthy in mind and spirit and am quite grateful for the many messages from dear friends and extended community,\u201d he wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Post exclusively reported last month that the fashion pioneer and \u201cThe Chiffon Trenches: A Memoir\u201d author was in a messy legal battle with ex Manolo Blahnik CEO, George Malkemus, over the $1 million White Plains home. He claims Malkemus and his business partner and husband, Tony Yurgaitis, are trying to kick Talley out of the home he says he owns. They claim it\u2019s their home and that Talley owes them $500,000 in rent.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you probably know from \u2018The Chiffon Trenches\u2019, I\u2019ve experienced many peaks and valleys in my life and remain quite resilient. The matter we are dealing with is unfortunate, but will be handled by my very capable legal team at this time,\u201d Talley said in his Instagram post.<\/p>\n
Stylist and designer Akeem Smith set up a GoFundMe for Talley earlier this week seeking to help raise $500,000. \u201cEveryone in fashion has benefited from [Talley\u2019s] contribution to the industry. [He] has not asked me to do this, but I believe this is the right thing to do. I believe we all should support him now to acknowledge his lifetime\u2019s work and the room his fearlessness made for so many of the voices and points of view that have followed him,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the page had raised $9,335. Talley also thanked Smith and \u201cthose who have contributed, I appreciate the thoughtful gesture and generosity, but it is completely unnecessary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
