Ciara caused quite the stir in Paris yesterday.
It’s Fashion Week and she showed up at the Givenchy haute couture show 40 minutes late. It’s been said that she is “the muse” of the line, so the designers and show producers purposely held the show for her arrival.
But the photographers on the red carpet booed her because not only did she show up late, but she didn’t allow much time for photos to be taken of her on the carpet. Ciara reportedly apologized for her delay and took her seat front row next to Kanye West and Amber Rose. ”MISS CIARA, YOU WERE NOT AT A BLACK EVENT HONIE! IT’S CALLED BEING ON TIME, NIECE!!!”
GREG ODEN APOLOGIZE FOR THAT SMALL D—!!! BOO HOO!!!
“I would like to apologize to everybody: Portland, fans, the organization,” said Oden, during a hastily arranged press conference Tuesday evening at the team’s practice facility. “It was very embarrassing. It was something that happened over a year and a half ago. … I’m very sorry, and I’m definitely embarrassed for my family and everybody around me.”
Greg said he has severed his relationship with a “ladyfriend” who he originally sent the photos to, and added that he hopes that all traces of the revealing images will be removed from the Web.
“[They] were just for her, and definitely were meant to keep private,” Oden, 22, said.
Asked for his reaction when he first saw the photos, Oden said: “My heart dropped.”
The 7-foot, 285-pound center stated that he received a phone call about 6 a.m. Tuesday informing him of the situation.
“When I actually got up and saw (them), it was very, very embarrassing and hurtful,” Oden said.
Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard briefly acknowledged Oden’s photos following a morning shootaround, referring to the situation as “disappointing.”
Pritchard said the organization has gone to great lengths to warn its players about the down side of new social media and the harm it can cause high-profile athletes such as Oden.
“You have to be careful with what you do and who you trust,” Oden said.
“I know it was a thing of the past, and I know I’ve grown from this,” he said. “And I’m definitely still a really good guy, and I’m going to keep putting that out there.
“And even if it involves other people, I just hope they learn you’ve got to be careful with what you do and who you trust.”
