Real talk: Sample sales are hard, guys. We understand. But apparently, the struggle at the Manolo Blahnik sample sale, which took place yesterday, proved exceptionally real for one Women's Wear Daily employee: Page Six reports that beauty editor Julie Naughton was spotted "screaming" and "bullying" other editors who were trying to cut in line.

Apparently, women were attempting to cut the line to get into the sale, at which point Naughton went "full-on crazy" and "started freaking out," according to witnesses (Naughton reportedly arrived at 6:30am).

"She was screaming, 'I hope these people don't ever want to work in publishing,' and then started trash-talking. She was being such a terrible bully," the witness added. Naughton even allegedly said of one shopper: "She looks like she's from Long Island and her Chanel bag is fake."

However, a rep from WWD told the publication, "She was defending her, and everyone else's, place in line." Moral of the story: Don't cut the line, or else. To see what (else) you missed yesterday, see our report here.
