'The View' co-host insists Gloria Gaynor is actually a feminist after singer rejects title
The ladies of "The View" tried to make sense of why Gloria Gaynor does not consider her iconic song, "I Will Survive," to be a feminist anthem and why she would not label herself a feminist. In a recent interview with the UK outlet Metro, Gaynor said that one of the biggest misconceptions about her is that people think she's a feminist. Her 1978 mega-hit was not so much a feminist ballad, she said, but one that put a spotlight on trauma, as she was dealing with some of her own struggles at the time, including recent back surgery and the loss of her mom a few years prior. She added that having grown up with five brothers, she "loves men." "The View" hosts reacted to Gaynor's surprising take during their "Hot Topics" discussion on Tuesday while also trying to define the word "feminism." 'I Will Survive' Singer Gloria Gaynor Says It's A 'Misconception' She's A Feminist Gloria Gaynor performs during the "Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive" premiere during the 2023 Tribeca Festival at Spring Studios on June 9, 2023, in New York City. The table was nearly unanimous in agreeing that the word feminism simply means equality between genders. After sharing her definition, co-host Sara Haines suggested that Gaynor is actually a feminist. Read On The Fox News App "Because I think the feminist movement has changed over the decades, as to who the icons were, what the point and the mission was," Haines said. "But ultimately, feminism is just equality for women to have the same opportunities. So, I think she really deeply is a feminist." Haines and her co-hosts continued to try and define the somewhat divisive term. The common misconception, Haines said, is that "feminism means you hate men." "They don't have to be zero-sum issues," she continued. "To have equality for women does nothing to men." Feminists Argue Trad Wife Influencers On Social Media May Have Helped Trump Win Over Women's Vote "The thing is, you don't hate men," Joy Behar agreed. "What you hate is sexism and misogyny. That should be clear to everyone. Because men are feminists also." Behar later added that women have been "paying attention" to these cultural issues since the second wave of the feminist movement in the 1970s. "I think most women believe in equal rights, in empowering other women," Alyssa Farah Griffin added. "And I think that it becomes this sort of loaded term that people may interpret different ways. Like you're burning your bra, or you hate men." She suggested it's a generational issue, where younger people are more "prone to labels." 'I Will Survive' Singer Gloria Gaynor Suing Ex-producer For $2 Million, Alleging 'Suppressed' Payments Gloria Gaynor performs onstage at the 15th Annual Induction Ceremony for the New Jersey Hall of Fame at NJPAC on October 29, 2023, in Newark, New Jersey. Sunny Hostin chimed in to say there shouldn't be any bad connotations associated with the label, and that it's OK to be a feminist and still admire the opposite sex. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture "I don't know why equality is suddenly a bad thing," Hostin noted. "I don't know why diversity and inclusion and equality is such a bad thing. The bottom line is, you can be someone that supports women having equal rights, and Black people having equal rights, and people that are disabled having equal rights, and people in the LGBTQ+ community having equal rights, and still love a man!" In addition to writing "I Will Survive" to encourage victims of trauma, Gaynor has in recent years also associated the song with her return to faith . "When I read the lyrics, I realized the reason they'd been waiting for me to record that song was that God had given that song to them for them to set aside, waiting for him to get everything in order for me to meet up with them. And that song was 'I Will Survive,'" Gaynor told NPR in 2019. Original article source: 'The View' co-host insists Gloria Gaynor is actually a feminist after singer rejects title

But on March 12, 2024, Alex and Ani CEO Prita Kumar told Love's manager that the company was terminating the agreement 'because of the 'financial health'' of the brand. However, Love had already designed pieces for the company to sell, the suit alleged. And Kate Robinson, Alex and Ani's chief creative officer at the time, told Love that the designs were already in production and could not be returned or given back to Love. The pieces went on sale last summer, the suit said. Advertisement In the lawsuit, Love and her attorney, Peter Fox, said they are looking to collect the unpaid money. Designer Pamela Love attends the Opening Ceremony Dance Left Benefit at Spring Studios on December 2, 2017 in New York and Ani was founded in 2004 in Cranston, R.I., by jewelry designer Carolyn Rafaelian, who named it after her eldest daughters. By 2014, the company was selling 10 million of its signature expandable wire charm bracelets per year. In a series of interviews with the Globe, Rafaelian said she was 'pushed out' and has not been involved with Alex and Ani since 2020. In 2022, Rafaelian launched Related : Advertisement In June 2021, after a series of high-profile problems — including lawsuits, years of executive turnover, and a ransomware attack — Alex and Ani was largely controlled by private equity firms and Alex and Ani is now controlled by majority owner Lion Capital, a London-based firm founded by English financier Lyndon Lea, while the remaining 35 percent of the company is controlled by the Bathing Club LLC. Lea has not responded to multiple requests from the Globe for comment since November 2023. The Bathing Club is controlled by Mark Geragos, a celebrity attorney who previously served as Alex and Ani's counsel. Geragos could not be immediately reached for comment on Thursday. Geragos, a long-time legal commentator on TV, has represented clients that include Lyle and Erik Menendez, Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, and other high-profile figures. He Related : Love initiated arbitration to collect her unpaid fees in the spring of 2024. During the arbitration, lawyers for Alex and Ani admitted that the company was 'trying to find a way to pay Pamela her money,' the suit said. Advertisement The arbitrator, former L.A. Superior Court judge Katherine Chilton, said the company's only justification for not paying Love was its poor financial health, and because its assets 'have been transferred to a third party.' This week, Love's suit also alleges a long-time effort by executives to move assets around to make them more difficult for creditors to collect. For example, in February 2023, Geragos's firm The Bathing Club initiated a security interest in Alex and Ani's assets, the suit said. In 2024, after Love began her arbitration, Lea also assigned a lien on all the company's assets to the Bathing Company. 'The transfer was from insider to insider,' the lawsuit said. 'With two insider liens on Alex and Ani's assets and no defenses to Pamela Love's claims ... Geragos caused the Bathing Club and Alex and Ani to execute a strict foreclosure on Alex and Ani's assets on or around July 24, 2024.' The suit alleges that these moves were 'part of a sham to defraud creditors.' Larry Meyer, an independent board member at Alex and Ani, declared during the arbitration that he was working on 'the orderly shutdown of the company.' Alex and Ani's Alexa Gagosz can be reached at
