Now Ciara looks REALLY Silly after Steve & Barry’s Files For Bankruptcy

Posted by Juan

The deal she boasted about just a few weeks ago now leaves her with egg on her face.

Ciara Steve

A couple of weeks ago I discussed the negative impact that Ciara’s partnership with mall fashion discount chain, Steve and Barry’s would have on her image and more specifically her brand new modeling contract with Wihelmina.  Well after Steve and Barry’s filed for bankruptcy over the weekend, it has only added more credence to my argument.

Obviously Ciara isn’t the only celebrity that has partnered with the franchise and will be effected by the projected 275 store closings and more than 17,000 layoffs.   Its rather embarrassing though.  Here it is you make a big deal about signing a new deal that’s going to take your personal brand to new heights and less than a month later the chain goes under?  It makes you and your cockamamie team look like you didn’t do your homework which begs the question…. DID YOU?!

Ciara never signed a deal with them they were in talks, that’s all, so Ciara aint loosing any money IDIOTS!! And the real story should be about Sarah Jessica Parker cause she’s the one who has a line in the stores.

Apparently your S T U P I D A S S didn’t do your research. The information that was release to the public clearly said she was in talks with them. There was nothing finalized in writting. Therefore if you are going to report something get your story right. Now you should be the one looking Silly. DUMB A S S H A T E R!

What is it about everyone that doesn’t like to read. Go back and read the original story and you’ll understand why her ANNOUNCEMENT…yes announcement which was made was tarnished by the bankruptcy filing. I’m not hating. I like Ciara…its her PEOPLE that are at fault as I said before. One of the things I ask from the Nation is that you read…not assume.

When did she brag?! From the interview there was no tone of bragging. I think your ignorant azzes are just hating.

The folk on here are serious. You’re right Juan, folk need to read. Your point wasn’t lost. People’s own perceptions are getting the best of them.

I heard about the fashion line thing too…it didn’t seem
like she was bragging though. Is Juan just a hater?
Probably, seems like he’s getting to excited at the
prospect of seeing someone do bad.

Nope not a hater. I love her…honestly. ITS HER “PEOPLE” That messed this one up for her. If I were advising I would suggest a scolding or firing in favor of a better marketing team but like you said hmmm…who am i?
