EXACTLY. I loved him on RACHEL ZOE PROJECT and felt sorry for him during the whole "Taylor" drama. I've only heard Rachel's side of the story, which is that he allegedly mislead her with his reasons for leaving Rachel Zoe, then blindsided her by suddenly having his own show -- and taking some of her clients with him.
I'm still gonna watch, but he's definitely a villain to me right now.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
