A few weeks ago, Page Six ran an item about celeb stylist Jessica Paster, who held a cattle call interview to find her new assistant. Once there, the prospective assistants had to deal with Jessica’s dog peeing on the floor, among other nonhygenic wonders.
This dispatch came to us from a former Jessica Paster assistant who we’ll just call “Katie”:
I can verify the state at Jessica’s house is nothing short of complete SQUALOR! I used to work for her… and believe me- she goes through assistants like toilet paper. Oh, wait- she’s usually out of toilet paper. I’m surprised she had a mass cattle call interview, and that people actually SHOWED UP! I thought her reputation preceded her as being one of the all time worst people to work for. Aside from having to pick up after her sorely neglected lap dogs, she would regularly yell at whatever assistant was with her on a shoot in front of clients… and I’m talking crazy tantrum jumping up and down screaming if something was not to her liking. Maybe if she paid her assistants a reasonable rate (after all- we do all the work!) and did a little more on shoots other than stuffing her face or texting on her Sidekick, she would find people who could stand to work for her for more than a month or two. Honestly, I don’t know how she has the career that she does being as unprofessional as she is.
