What’s with the Kurt Andersen ish?

June 14th, 2005 · No Comments

Radar sez that former New York magazine EIC Kurt Andersen took a bit of a bitter pill a few years ago after bankrolling the high life of socialite Inna De Silva while attempting to get a story for the pub. As it turns out, the story wasn’t there, but the expenses the mag’s staffer incurred were - or so Radar says.

Gawker follows up by publishing the response of Phoebe Eaton, the New York reporter involved in the above story - Eaton calls Radar’s report a “venge-item,” and declines that any of the spending happened in the first place.

So what’s up with that? That’s some pretty black-and-white kind of stuff here.
