Reality "stars" need to grow a thick skin when it comes to criticism. Reichen Lehmkuhl, one of the gay housewives on Logo's The A-List, on the other hand goes into an email fit when criticized. And wrongly calls people bullies.
Dan Avery, one of the editors at New York's gay nightlife guide Next Magazine named Logo's The A-List as one of the worst shows of 2010, just as we did. Here's his entire blurb.
The A-List: New York (Logo)
Where to begin? The "reality" show everyone loved to hate probably cancelled out 100 "It Gets Better" videos with its cringe-worthy depictions of Reichen, Rodiney and the other vapid queens trying to impress upon viewers why they're important. (Hint, if you have to explain why you're A-list, you're probably not.)
When the quote was picked up by gay gossip maven Michael Musto Reichen flew off the handle, and sent a rant to my old friends at Next Magazine accusing them of "bullying" for calling him and his boyfriend Rodiney Santiago (above on the left) "vapid queens." Sorry, Reichen, that's not bullying, because it only happened once and it's just an observation, not malicious name calling. Is this gonna be the real legacy of "It Gets Better," that everything someone calls a gay something they disagree with they accuse the other person of bullying?
Anyway, Reichen says, "I can't even imagine speaking this way about other human beings. That you would reduce my existence to someone who is a 'vapid queen' says more about what you don't know about me, along with the kind of person you must be." Wait, Reichen. Aren't you the same person that called me an "imbicil" four times in one blog post after I accurately reported you would be on the cast of The A-List? Doesn't that mean you spoke that way about another human being? Doesn't that say more about what you don't know about me along with the kind of person you must be? Just wondering.
