Stacy London Posts About Forgiveness; Did She Unblock Clinton Kelly?
For nine years, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly starred on the fashion reality series, What Not To Wear.
Sometimes, working closely with someone can lead to lifelong friendships. In others, though, it can lead to lifelong feuds. And, last November, Stacy London dramatically blocked Clinton Kelly on Twitter.
But now Stacy London has made a long, vague post about forgiveness. Has she changed her tune about her former costar?
Stacy London and Clinton Kelly spent a decade joined at the hip, because that was their job.
They worked together, traveled together, and made appearances together both on and off of their show.
In his 2017 memoir, I Hate Everyone, Except You, Clinton Kelly wrote of Stacy and of their relationship:
“I either adored her or despised her and never anything in between.“
That sounds like a lot of sibling relationships. And even like a few marriages.
He also explained why he had always felt that way:
“We spent nearly 60 hours a week in captivity, rarely more than an arm’s length away from each other.”
That’ll do it.
“Trust me when I tell you that that is just too much time to spend with any other human being you didn’t choose of your own free will.“
That sounds like a fair description.
When Stacy London dramatically blocked Clinton on Twitter, he shared it and suggested that he knew why, writing:
“The tea is old. And I never spell tea unless I’m shook, which I’m not.”
That’s a great line. He also used both tea and shook correctly as slang, which is really refreshing when we’re talking about a somewhat older white guy, though not surprising coming from Clinton Kelly.
Now, in a lengthy post to Instagram, Stacy London wrote:
“Last night, I was thinking about forgiveness. It’s very easy to say but sometimes not easy to do truthfully.”
That’s true. Not everyone believes in forgiveness. Others believe that it’s theologically important, or good for their personal well-being. But it’s not easy, regardless.
“If you’re like me when I’m hurt I can hold a grudge. I know the old adage: being angry or vengeful or hateful to someone because they’ve wronged you is like taking poison expecting the other person to die.”
Many have said that, including the late, great Carrie Fisher.
“Anger is much easier to cope with for me than sadness and pain. Being angry feels pro-active and empowering, like I’m in control of the situation.”
She’s absolutely right.
“But last night (and WHY last night, I’m not sure) it occurred to me that taking action like blocking people in order to feel some sense of control over other’s actions is a waste of my time.”
She continues:
“I can’t stop people from the way they behave. I can’t stop them from being angry with me, hurtful to me, or indifferent to me.”
And she talks about how that, specifically, applies to social media.
“I can block ex-friends and ex-lovers, people I feel wronged by, but to what end? For the most part, these people aren’t even looking at my accounts in the first place and even if they were, why would being able to see this highlight reel of my life matter in the slightest?”
The connections to Clinton Kelly and how she famously blocked him are obvious.
“Don’t get me wrong: truly hateful, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, racist comments are simply not permitted on my accounts.”
That is a very good boundary to set, and good advice for anyone to follow.
“@luvvie taught me that social media is NOT a democracy, it’s a dictatorship only in the sense that if you write on MY page l have every right to delete or block you. Go write nasty shit on your own page.”
But she makes it clear that (though she’s still not naming him) she’s not accusing Clinton Kelly of anything of the sort.
“Those are not the people I’m talking about. I’m talking about those I’ve had trouble forgiving for one reason or another.”
Still vague.
“The problem is the more I hold on to my anger, the more I hurt, not them. And while feeling pain and sadness sucks, it’s necessary, NOT damaging.”
You gotta look out for your own health, folks.
“Forgiveness is something you give yourself to move on, to find peace, to let go. So I unblocked a bunch of people today. If this resonates, maybe you can too.”
It’s not clear if Clinton Kelly has actually been unblocked. (Unlike who’s following whom, list of who has blocked whom are not readily visible).
But … it sure sounds like she may have taken him off of her social media no-fly list. That’s progress.

Stacy London Blocks Clinton Kelly, Sends Twitter Into Chaos
Simply put, the Internet is shook.
Users don"t know what to think right now.
Up is down, cold is hot, Donald Trump is a well-spoken purveyor of truth that only has the best interests of his country in mind.
Nothing is what it once seemed in light of the following news:
Stacey London has blocked Clinton Kelly on Twitter.
The long-time What Not to Wear co-hosts seemed like best buds, like two peas in a pod, like the very best of friends.
And now… this?!? Please join us below as we try to make sense of this nightmare.
1. A Brief History Lesson:
What Not to Wear which aired on TLC from 2003 to 2013. London and Kelly took turns critiquing fashion trends on the popular series.
2. Like a Brother and Sister
“We we completed each other’s sentences,” Kelly told My Statesman just this past January, acknowledging that they needed the occasional “break” from each other, but making the relationship sounds very sibling-like.
3. Even If They Weren’t Best Friends…
… there was no reason to think they were bitter enemies.
4. Until Now?
Kelly shared this Tweet on November 15, writing as a seemingly confused caption “Alllll righty then.”
5. What? Huh? Why?
Twitter has so many questions right now.
6. No One Is Okay Right Now
This development has thrown the Internet for a major loop.

Meghan Markle: Quitting Suits! Moving to London!
As far as we know, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not engaged.
Fans of the couple have been waiting for Harry to pop the question for months, but either he’s still waiting for the right time, or he and Meg aren’t quite ready to share their big news with the public just yet.
But either way, it seems marriage is definitely in the cards for these two.
Fans want them married yesterday, but Meg and Harry are taking their time and adhering to royal protocol.
When a prince pops the question, he doesn’t just slip a ring in his girlfriend’s dollar margarita at Applebee’s.
No, Harry and Meg can’t get hitched until about a dozen people sign off on the idea.
It’s an outdated and somewhat ridiculous process, but unfortunately, Markle has to jump through quite a few hoops before she gets a ring.
Meghan has met the Queen and reportedly secured her approval, but that’s only the beginning.
Sources say Meghan recently began sticking to the royal dress code (pants and long skirts only, as apparently knees would offend the peasants, or something), and apparently that’s not the only way that Meghan is being encouraged to change her lifestyle.
Meghan stars on the USA Network legal drama Suits, but it seems she’s currently switching gears with an eye toward becoming a full-time royal.
“She is looking at the future and definitely feels she has come to the end of her acting career. She feels it’s time to move on and do something different,’ a source close to Markle tells Vanity Fair.
“It was always her intention to focus on her humanitarian work, but I think her relationship with Harry has accelerated things moving in that direction.”
Yes, Meghan is no stranger to philanthropy, and she’s long devoted her free time to helping others.
Now, however, she’ll able to commit herself to humanitarian work full time.
Kate Middleton is currently one of her nation’s most high-profile advocates for the less fortunate, and it seems Meg has every intention of following suit when she moves to London, which will reportedly happen next month.
It’s a calling that doesn’t offer the same glitz and glamour of starring on a basic cable legal dram, but we’re sure Meghan will adapt.
And we bet returning home to your fully-staffed castle really takes the sting out of spending your days with the unwashed masses.

Prince Philip Hospitalized in London: Find Out Why!
Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, has been hospitalized.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the news on Wednesday morning that he was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London Tuesday night “as a precautionary measure” to treat an infection “arising from a pre-existing condition.”
Prince Charles has been tapped to fill in for the Duke of Edinburgh at the State Opening of Parliament Wednesday, where he will join the Queen.
“Prince Philip is in good spirits and is disappointed to be missing the State Opening of Parliament and Royal Ascot,” Buckingham Palace said, adding, “Her Majesty is being kept informed and will attend Royal Ascot as planned this afternoon.”
During the speech, the Queen is expected to reveal the government agenda. This will be Charles’ third time attending the event with the Queen.
It was recently revealed that the 96-year-old was retiring from public appearances, with his final one scheduled for August.
A statement was released at the time by Queen Elizabeth II’s private secretary confirming the news.
Prince Philip “has decided that he will no longer carry out public engagements from the autumn of this year. In taking this decision, The Duke has the full support of The Queen.”
The Duke of Edinburgh “will attend previously scheduled engagements between now and August, both individually and accompanying The Queen,” the statement continued.
“Thereafter, The Duke will not be accepting new invitations for visits and engagements, although he may still choose to attend certain public events from time to time.”
“The Duke of Edinburgh is Patron, President or a member of over 780 organizations, with which he will continue to be associated, although he will no longer play an active role by attending engagements,” the statement continued.
“Her Majesty will continue to carry out a full program of official engagements with the support of members of the Royal Family.”
We wish Philip a speedy recovery.
