Fashion Week: Vincent Gallo Will Track You Down
Chris Mohney
September 12, 2008
So yes, our videographer Liz Glover has a certain history with Vincent Gallo. And though things began civilly enough, things degenerated when -- all in good fun! -- Liz made a crack about Gallo's leather jacket, asking if it was in fact pleather. Let the record reflect we are in no way insinuating that Vincent Gallo would wear a pleather jacket! Quite the opposite in fact. Nevertheless, the jibe inspired Gallo's ire: "If you print that [Ed. note: 'print'?], I will track you down and make you wish you had never been born." Harsh! But Liz's daddy was a Green Beret, so she's not afeared. Hit the jump to relish the tender exchange.
It should be duly noted—Liz, more out of karmic than physical anxiety, only agreed to show the clip if she could remove the actual “pleather” remark, since she told Gallo she’d cut it. And in fact I had to browbeat her into showing the clip at all. Therefore, please direct all anti-borning angst care of this website, not to Ms. Glover, who’s far tougher anyway.

Someone’s a little insecure. Why couldn’t he just throw a joke back at her and make fun of her outfit or something instead of being such a fucking baby?
It is so epic that you guys ran that. Genius!

“I will track you down and make you wish you had never been born”
Umm, is this the kind of threat you can casually make? You certainly can’t say that kind of thing to any elected official or police officer.

What in the fuck are you fuckin bitches laughing at? You think this shit is pleather? Huh? You think that’s funny? You think my jacket’s fake, so what, that would make me fake, too? Is that what your saying? Cause it’s not. And I’ll fucking destroy you to prove it, alright?!? Capice motherfucker?

Ya know, it really IS an ugly jacket regardless if it’s pleather, leather or chicken bi-product. Seriously dude..simmer down! I would hate to think the next video I see is of that lovely (and funny....) gal kicking your butt all over the place....

I can’t say I’m surprised; i is Vincent Gallo we’re talking about here. He’s not exactly known for being a pillar of stability.

“You had to be mean” was a tactful way to reflect her catty attitude. She’s an idiot.

Good for Mr Gallo
Just because she is woman she can get away with be insulting??
His threat was half hearted but of course its get blown out of proportion by you guys
How convenient it is that we don’t get to see and hear Liz insult Mr. Gallo
Liz i think first and foremost you should be ashamed of yourself. Both parties are at fault here but Liz is the perpetrator.
And to the person that posted as Vincent Gallo above, you comment is obviously filled with undertones of ethnic prejudice.

Obviously, he’s a insecure egomaniac with an inferiority complex. Or better yet, just an asshole.

He should have said, “Bitch, fuck you and your current mean culture can’t go ten seconds on TMZ without a biting remark toward a celebrity just to generate the show’s tone and identity as if it’s separate from the fact that without celebrity and artists they would be nothing. Oh, yeah, and I shot my load in Chloe Sevigny’s mouth, you know, the chick you’re haircut is trying to copy circa the film KIDS.”

Please help me. Vincent doesn’t know I’m here. He’s too busy praising himself. Something about not being scared. Well let me tell you this: I am scared. I have to live with this freak. Put me out of my misery. I’d rather live with those Palin freaks in Alaska.

Everyone knows Vincent Gallo is a disgusting waste of space.
He is mean and vulgar.
I have seen so many of his type growing up in manhattan.
self absorbed fame whores who thinks whatever they say is “art”.
But he has never contributed ANYTHING to the world to make it better.
He is just a parasite.

he’s delusional and a douchebag. also, i hope he reads these comments and realizes that his name is all over the internet for the wrong reasons. not just this story either. he’s pathetic and i would say that to his face.

He loves to scare women.

I’m vegetarian and I’m proud to wear pleather.

Wow, David Koresh is pissed! Watch out, he’s liable to lock himself in the bathroom and set the place on fire.

He’s such a twat. And his stupid and insecure reaction to her harmless ‘pleather’ comment just proves how much of a twat he really is. He’s unstable and needs some therapy.
Posted by szoo on Sat Sep 13, 2008 at 03.43 pm
Yes, she should not ridicule pleather. This is truly the cool way to go, why is that such the insult?
I hate how she kisses his butt afterwards, she shouldn’t be throwing these things out there if she can’t handle the reaction.
They both are idiots.

Good grief, 12:45… put yourself out of your misery already.

Vincent Gallo is hilarious.
Posted by douche on Sat Sep 13, 2008 at 05.40 pm
What an insecure douche. Just remember everyone, remember the time he threatened Rita Schrager, and called her a whore??? God he’s looking old and tired too. Maybe it’s time he and Naomi Campbell hooked up!!!! Could you imagine??????

Hey, I’m still traumatized from seeing “Brown Bunny” to have any comment on this.
And I’ll never look at Chloe Sevigny the same again. But you gotta hand it to Gallo; how in hell he convinced Sevigny to give him a blow job on camera (to completion, mind you) is beyond me. He probably told her it was an art film...and she believed him!

Somebody’s a little sensitive…
I’m a little annoyed that, “you had to be mean, you had to be mean, you had to be mean” is still ringing in my ears.
