LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Was Taylor Jacobson not fired by Rachel Zoe? News reports claim Taylor Jacobson wasn’t fired over samples but Rachel Zoe was furious Taylor Jacobson had ink a major designer jeans deal with Kasil for herself.

Taylor Jacobson has made clear that she cannot comment to news about employment issues at Rachel Zoe Inc because of a confidentiality agreement. But when you lineup news interviews between Zoe, Jacobson, and other insiders since Taylor Jacobson’s exit in November 2009 and the present, you see something is wrong.

In November, Jacobson said she was leaving to “go off and style on my own.” Jacobson didn’t use the word “fired”. When Rachel Zoe suddenly began telling news that Jacobson had been fired, Taylor fumed.

Why?

In fact, “go off and style on my own” is exactly what Jacobson did. Jacobson had gotten her own designer label of jeans in a major deal with Kasil. Did that major branding deal for Taylor spark Zoe’s anger? Yes, claims Fox News. “We’re told Ms. Zoe is pretty peeved that Taylor is developing her own jeans line with conjunction with denim brand Kasil jeans.” How peeved? In February as news of the Jacobson’s jeans deal hit, Zoe allegedly had Taylor thrown out of a club where they were both attending. Claims Fox:

” ” Rachel Zoe was there with her husband Rodger (Berman), and giving Taylor dirty looks,” dished our insider. “She then had her kicked out of the bar! Taylor was escorted out by three huge security guards.” ” Zoe refused to comment about the allegation.

The insinuation in the series premiere was that Jacobson, fired, had taken samples and worn them, and then that she might steal Rachel’s clients. Jacobson’s statement in November doesn’t say she was fired, she since said she doesn’t fit into sample sizes, and as is evidenced by Kasil’s lineup, Taylor had in fact moved on to “style on my word” a line of stellar jeans that retail from $119 to roughly $200.

Jacobson has admitted she can respond to whether she was fired or quit because of confidentiality agreement. But she has said that claims she wears sample sizes were worn by her is bogus: “I have an answer for that….I am fat … I will say this: I don’t fit into sample sizes! Where did that even come from? I’m not a size zero. I have 34-D … Models are flat. I don’t fit into samples. I don’t understand. It’s the weirdest thing to me.”

The official statement by Zoe to PEOPLE in November didn’t use the word “fire”. Rather the statement only said “Taylor Jacobson is no longer with Rachel Zoe, Inc”. So was portrayal on tv last night accurate? Jacobson has this to say to TV Guide that reality is fake, and viewers know it.

“Reality TV is faux [fake] reality. It’s a contrived reality, and everyone knows that.”
