After months of one terrible hair style after another, Meghan McCain‘s hairstylist is finally breaking her silence.
Many have accused former-model-turned-hair-and-makeup-artist Carmen Currie of secretly hating McCain and taking her aggression out on The View co-host’s hair and makeup.
In a new interview with The Cut, Currie is denying the accusations.
“I’m not slapping something on her and being like, ‘Take THAT!” she swears.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But while she isn’t admitting to intentionally making her client look ridiculous, she’s also not taking responsibility for her appearance.
“I’m not telling her what to do all the time,” Currie says. “It’s not like that at all.”

Currie explains, “I want her to feel comfortable, I want her to feel confident with what I’m doing, and I want her to like it overall, and she does. I think it shows, and that’s part of what people are picking up on.”
At the end of the day, Currie says, she’s just doing her job, which, BTW, she didn’t actively seek out.
“The View is under the Disney umbrella, and I was already with ABC News,” she explains. “I think that’s the thing people don’t know: She didn’t seek me out the way you would do as an individual. We work for the same company, and the company hired me to work with Meghan.”
Currie also says that she has almost no time to prepare before McCain waltzes in to be made up each morning.
“My looks revolve around what she’s wearing, which I don’t know every day,” she explains. “She might just have a black sweater on, or she might have something a little more fun, and that dictates the direction.”
Usually, she’s left to her own devices to figure out how to make McCain look presentable for TV cameras, although occasionally the co-host weighs in.
“Sometimes she’s inspired by a look that she saw, and she’s like, ‘Can we re-create this? Or something like this?,’ and I’m always down. She gets her inspiration from the [Real] Housewives, but also magazines, fashion trends, and colors.”
Last month, McCain gave a shout out to Currie on Twitter, writing: “Thank you @carmen_currie for your amazing work and vision! And for bringing me back to life after having a baby! It’s a privilege to work with you.”

The feeling does not appear to be mutual.

And as long as we’re talking about Meghan McCain.
Her husband runs a bigoted, anti-LGBTQ website that spouts one right wing conspiracy theory after another, than Meghan will then try to pass on to The View’s audience.

Can you post a link to it?

I’ve been told that her comment on the recent death of Walter Mondale was that her father also had selected a female as his running mate; comparing Sarah Palin to Geraldine Ferraro. Huh? Also, I suppose it’s a matter of taste, but to me her hair and makeup as depicted here look ridiculous. I think the View has another Star Jones problem on their hands. Good luck!

How does Meghan not think she looks ridiculous?
Max
she doesn’t recognize what she says is ridiculous. would think that applies to everything else in her life, including her style.

Did you know her father was John McCain?
HankHarris
I know jobs are scarce in that industry, but I can’t imagine having to be in the same room with this vile hag, let alone touch her.
Mr. Stadnick
If I was her I would be working under an assumed name, who is going to want her doing her hair in the future. “Can you give me the Judy Jetson on meth look you gave Meghan McCain?”

I would be shocked if Meghan’s hairdresser doesn’t have Poodle Groomer on her resume.
Doug
LOL

Meghan has alway been a media whore. This is just one of her lame attempts to say, “look at me” look at me”. She’s finding it harder and harder to use her deceased father for this.
jackmister
She should just shave it off and start over.

Always a sow’s ear, never a silk purse.

Ms Currie can offer whatever explanations for her work that she wants. But she’s just not doing a very good job.
MISTERJETT
calm down!!! it’s just hair.
Caddy4J
Why does it always turn to politics when they’re talking about one specific subject? Are we not adults here? I totally agree with MISTERJETT. it’s just hair. And I add, just comment on that! Pull in your claws and save your hate for another day.
