Project Runway’s first-season winner, Jay McCarroll, “exploded at a party guest who mistook him for one of Donald Trump’s protégés,” according to Lloyd Grove, who reports this as if we’d blame Jay for getting annoyed at this mistake. He said, “I’m not on the fucking ‘Apprentice!’” Lloyd reports that Jay was wearing “a 10-gallon hat, pink sunglasses and giant poncho that hid the wine glass he was holding at crotch level,” and reports on an exchange between Jay and a Daily News reporter, Hud Morgan.

Where are you from?” It then devolves into Jay calling the reporter names and the reporter egging him on; Lloyd has the whole conversation.
