At the behest of those who feared they will never get an erection again I would like to inform you that the topless pictures dated January 24, 2010, purporting to be of Donatella Versace tanning on the beach, were actually of some random woman. A random, crispy, mahogany-tanned, soggy-titted woman, who likes to spend enormous amounts of time topless. The real Versace and her lawyers have been working over-time in order to correct a bunch of the media outlets who mistakenly identified the lady, left, as the fashion designer. For example, X17.
[Regarding mistaking the woman on the left for Donatella] As it turns out, the overly bronzed beach babe in the picture above is NOT fashion queen Donatella Versace. Donatella’s attorneys contacted X17 and alerted us that the woman we photographed in St. Barth is not her, so we’re sorry for any embarrassment or distress this may have caused Donatella. [X17]
One legal retraction from the Daily Mail dates back to this time last year. According to Just Jared, a tipster says the look-a-like is an Italian countess who has had a home on St. Bart’s for over ten years. Apparently. According to Gawker, this countess has been naked, or semi-naked, and confused with the real thing, on at least four occasions. Each time the pictures have been mis-labelled as Donatella Versace and each time someone gets a delightful (though I suspect ever-so-slightly passive-aggressive) notice from her legal team saying she’s been fully clothed for the last 24-hours so it’s totally not her.
Looking at these pictures side-by-side, and even with the analysis provided by Gawker, I still cannot even tell these women apart. Don’t wanna be lawyer-slapped, so I guess I just have to accept these/ future topless pics are not her.
For the non-Donatella Versace sun-dried, deflated tittehs go here, or 1, 2, 3, 4.
OMFG, the 2nd pic!!
It’s obviously her…
There’s only two explanation:
1. It’s Donatella’s clon that was made by her lips cells
2. It’s someone who’s trying so hard to be like her which is pretty successful
3. It’s DONATELLA VERSACE herself!!!
Bitch please, tell me it’s not true…
God, u’re right, i’m feelin like puking!!
Thanks for stopping by, Tonymizer. Ikr – I can barely tell them apart… I would agree with you, but the assorted legal notices on HUGE websites say different. The Daily Mail is a huge paper, and would never make a public apology, unless basically forced to.
that other chick looks like the old lady from “there’s something about mary” lol
OMG – You KILLED it with that comment. You WIN 10 Shiny Internets!!!
Well, the resemblance is remarkable, amazing! Whoever took those pic must be very chuffed with himself.
Agreed, but whoever took the pics will actually probably get sued!
I just ate. Poo on you, Amy!
Besides, they are hard to tell apart. No doubt there was some photoshopping wankery to make it so.
Still, I have a suspicion that Donatella is a gender bender. Even the name (Donatella means “little woman” or “little lady” in Italian) seems like a naughty, shady Gay double-entendre.
And where is this Italian “countess” from? Italy hasn’t had royal peerage system since King Victor Emmanuel III abdicated.
Sorry, Rain
Perhaps the above images were manipulated, but the weekend’s topless pics were pretty much straight from the photo agencies (the latest images were from Flynet who quickly took off the pics so no one else could download them). Good question about the woman’s real identity. I ain’t into all that fancy “book learning”, so I dunno. I guess whomever wrote the Gawker article has no real clue about geography/ history either!
