Laverne Cox’s Cornrow Snub to Amandla Stenberg Was Accidental: I have never been interested in celebrity feuds.
In case you hadn’t heard, Laverne Cox recently came under fire for appearing to take sides in the Instagram beef between Kylie Jenner and Amandla Stenberg. [Click here for the back story on Amandla’s calling Kylie out about her corn-tows.]
This week, the Orange Is the New Black actress (and Andre Leon Talley) appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live!
During their appearance, Andy named Amandla his Jackhole of the day, stating:
Today’s Jackhole goes to the Instagram feud between Kylie Jenner and Hunger Games star/Jaden Smith’s prom date, Amandla Stenberg, who criticized Kylie for her cornrows, calling it cultural appropriation.
Cohen asked his guests Laverne Cox and Andre Leon Talley.

Amandla had a great point. And Miss Laverne “Walking Greek Tragedy” Cox would be helps offended if that flighty Andy Cohen said something negative about transgenders, so he/she can have several seats.
