About That Rachel Zoe and Brad Goreski Split ...

By Rob Shuter Posted Sep 29th 2010 11:12AM

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe and her dapper assistant Brad Goreski have officially split up and are now saying that there was zero drama behind their decision, however sources tell me that's bananas! This split was ugly for sure.

"Brad was sick of doing all the work while Rachel got all the credit," a fashion insider tells me. "While Rachel feels used by Brad. She feels as if she taught him everything and the second he got a chance to leave her high and dry he did."

That's a far cry from the official line coming from the pair. "He did this with such class and elegance," Rachel told PEOPLE, while Brad said "I hope she'll continue to teach me more and more."

Rumors that the fashion power pair were in trouble started circulating a few weeks during New York fashion week where Brad seemed to be welcomed more than Rachel.

"Fashion week was definitely the turning point," a friend of Rachel's tells me. "Brad was sitting on the front row of every show and getting invited to as may events as his boss. However the final straw was when Brad appeared on the cover of The New York Times style section. Rachel hit the roof and reminded him he was her assistant and it was called 'The Rachel Zoe' show not the Brad Goreski show. That was the moment that the two of them were over."

Sources tell me that Brad has already been approached by several production companies about staring in his own fashion reality show. No news yet on whether or not Rachel's stable of celebrities, including Demi Moore, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz or Anne Hathaway will remain with Zoe or follow Brad.

The Rachael Zoe Project is one of my favorite shows. I can see why her asistant, Brad, would want to move on. Rachael is obsessed 24/7 w/ dressing her stars and fashion. Her husband, Roger, is even at the end of his rope. It's fabulous to be on top of your game, but to what extent?

Earth to Roger:

Rachel can live without kids, she can live without you but she can't live the life she's worked for without her career.

If that little guy with a backpack on, walking towards his first day of school is what you see in your future....duh....try thinking again.

I love Rachel Zoe, I thought her and Brad were a great team. I hope she slows down and has that baby her husband badly wants or she may be left all alone.

Rachel looks and sounds like the third starving olsen sister, ribs showing, hair hanging down givng the appearance its hard to keep their neck straight and dressing like high paid bag ladies in multiple layers and sleeves that are to long with perilous thro-me-down-and-do-me high heels. wew, lots of mixed messages there. on the other hand, brad seems like a smart motivated talented man. he needs to go out on his own, he has reachd a level of style savy equal to if not greater than misss zoe

Is she well, when she went to the gynocologist the doc said, we need to get you healthy before you have a baby, for 38 man she looks very sickly and yes it looks like Brad does all the work!

Rachel needs to get over herself. Brad learned from her - he wants better - go for it Brad. Rachel, get busy - your husband is not going to take a no from you anymore.

All i know is that she dresses awful. I have no idea how she styles celebrites so well and she looks like a hodge podge of different trends etc.

I think she literally tries to layer clothes over her body because that woman is a skeleton, you never see what she's shaped like, something is wrong there.

Good for Brad!!! He is the only reason why I watch "The Project". He is charming, has a winning personality, great style and taste. Rachel Zoe is a mess, look at her. Brad does all the work and she gets the credit? I think Brad will do fine without Zoe. She lives and eats "bad fashion", she treats her husband Rodger like total crap. She claims to be 38!!! Yeah sure right. Is her marriage doomed too, it is going in that direction. Is Rodger next to leave her fashion stable? Rachel calm down, eat a hamburger, get a life style lift and make over and perhaps fashion will look better in the morning.

I don't think she's treats Rodger badly, he takes the role not unlike a lot of women-standing back and supporting her while she follows her dreams and is the primary breadwinner.

It took me a while to warm up to the show, but now I am train-wreck fascinated. Honestly, I thought Rachel was 50 (at least) and Roger was her boy-toy accessory. I couldn't stand the nasty Taylor, but I like Brad.The only negative I ever heard him say was he needed a break. He did say he saw himself as a stylist someday. Rachel: You let Brad pick most of the outfits for 'your' celebrity clients (stop fawning already!). O.K, That was one of the many things he was hired for. But to have him do it so well for the world to see was probably a mistake if you are that insecure. Having said that, I watch to view the sheer audacity of the self-absorbed Ms. Zoe, and Brad was interesting because of the dynamics of the RZP. Best of luck to him. And to someone who needs it a lot more:the poor ignored, whiny,and if he stays with Rachel, childless Rodger.

hmmmmm.... i would have rodgers baby.

First Taylor, now Brad....I bet the people who were pointing the finger at Taylor for their split are now backtracking, considering Zoe lost another one. I love her show, but I just wish it aired around the same time it was filmed, instead of being filmed in the fall/winter and being aired in midsummer. Personally, I think the show should be more of a year-round thing. But the only place Brad can go from here is up. He worked at Vogue, so he knows how to work a structured environment, and he worked with Zoe, so he's been dealing with chaos 24/7 for the last 2 years.

I love this show,I think Brad and Taylor should have a show.Can you imagine the drama..Her fashion is not for the stars not the real working people.
And Rachel should slow down and eat a sandwich.Oh and how could I forget POOR Roger the disposable door mat.

By Terry

I will miss Brad. I enjoyed watching him interact with Rachel and the clients, etc. Too bad. Hope he does get his own show though. Where is Taylor, btw?

By Ellie

Too bad about the breakup but it does happen when ego soars its ugly head. Good luck to Rachel and to Brad.

Why the hell would I want to see more of Sarah Palin? I've already given up watching "Dancing" since they selected her daughter as a "Star." Very poor choice!!!! Celebrities usual earn their way to Celebrity via their work.

Why does an anorexic woman have a TV show?

By diana

Rachel zoe, is one of my favorite shows. i agree she is way too skiinnny, she out to stop the fashion, forget it. next show should be Rachel & baby, maybe design baby clothes. i think she really does love roger. it was weird i never saw the show were taylor left, she was just gone. then there was all this bad stuff said about her. now brad, i think it rachel. just realizeing shes not all that. MY god , i hate here hair always hanging down. looking stringy, i saw her on qvc, they had styled it straight she looked great, needs to gain some weight.

I agree with the other poster, thirty eight, I mean look at her mouth, it is wrinkled like she smoked like five packs a day, it's like a 60 year olds mouth and I agree Rodger is a cutie, better step it up Zoe!

Love this show. But I''m not going to miss super-annoying Brad. I do miss super-overworked Taylor, tho. Bring her back.
