At first look, this video is everything Chanel stands for. It’s classy, gorgeous and has that mysterious allure only Coco Chanel herself could pull off. Bathed in a perfect color palette, the floating features of the model pronounce the love of Chanel, but does she whisper something else? I smell a controversy.
This video has been the new debate on comment boards across the internet because of something people “think” they hear at :45. It seems pretty outrageous but the controversy is that she whispers, “Men hate women who read.” If you listen closely enough, at the end of the video, it sounds like different sayings are collaged together and a brief snippet is causing the debate.
Personally, it makes more sense that she is saying, “Men hate women who reek,” seeing as Chanel now has over 50 perfumes. It still is a little peculiar but doesn’t offset the evolution of women like the debatable comment causing the mini controversy.
Watch the video for yourself – or at least give a listen. What do you hear?
