If you missed it yesterday, Adrienne Bailon had an awful wardrobe malfunction on Thursday night with the wind blowing her dress up and exposing EVERYTHING (hint: she had no panties on!). Obviously it’s an embarrassing moment for any girl to go through, and she explained the issue on a call with Russell Simmons. See what she had to say below.
When I heard about Adrienne Bailon’s wardrobe malfunction this morning, I called her, but she didn’t pick up. I continued to call until she finally answered. The minute we started talking, she burst into tears. She told me,
The wind blew and despite what other girls may do, this is really a terrible accident to me. I’m really upset, but I’m even more upset about what my parents might think. I want to be known for my talent. I love the idea of being sexy, but I’ve never been in this business to sell sex, I’ve been in this business to sell my talent. The truth is, when you look at the pictures, you don’t realize that the wind really did blow my dress, and I don’t really know what else to say about it.
I told her, “If you were my daughter I’d say who gives a damn, it’s a mistake. Do the best you can and forget the results. If you have the best intentions, that’s all that matters. You put on a sexy outfit, but the wind blew and you had no control. So now that it’s done, nothing you can do it about it, except turn it into a branding exercise. Some girls do it on purpose, yours’ was an honest mistake.”
Adrienne will be fine, as she is incredibly talented. This moment will blow over quicker than the wind that blew up her dress. Hold ya’ head up and your dress down. Keep smiling.
