Letters to L.A. Times

These letters were also submitted to L.A. Times last month, to the editor and to request fact check. @latimes - wishing @britishvogue would also look into this.

Letter #1:

Alexandra Grant claims that she help found the Women’s Center for Creative Work. This is not true. I contacted the Women’s Center for Creative Work and the founder who is the executive director states that Ms. Grant is not a founder but that she did serve on the board for one term in the beginning. On her resume, which is posted on her website, Ms. Grant also lists herself as the current board for the Women’s Center for Creative Work and this is also not true. Her resume indicated that she is a current board member for six non-profits but her name as a board member is only found in two of these organizations. She also claims that she raised $60,000 from selling her LOVE jewelry to help renovate the Watts House project. Since she lied about being a board member, I believe that this claim that she has raised $60,000 is not true. Will a reporter from L.A. Times, please look into this? The Watts House project was taken over by Fulcrum arts a few years ago. When they took over the project, did they received $60,000 from Grant as she claims? She also received $25,000 from the California Fund for the Watts House Project. This project started in 2008 and still has not finished, so the question is why not since she has apparently raised $60,000 from jewelry sale, plus $25,000 from CCF grant and donation was also solicited.

Letter #2:

The article on Alexandra Grant is a shallow gossip piece. An interesting topic regarding Grant is the fact that she bought a stolen tombstone, kept it for 11-years and then tried to sell it on eBay and was contacted by officials and informed it was a felony to sell historical object. She has been sued by Cartier for plagiarism and called out by people from Greece and surrounding countries for cultural appropriation, profiting from their cultural heritage. She is presented as a philanthropist but has nothing to show for. She is called a feminist but became famous for her relationship with a man and this relationship hasn’t been confirmed by him or his PR team. The tabloids published stories of this relationship repeatedly as if trying to promote something, possibly the art event in Marfa, Texas in April 2020, an event being promoted by Paltrow and GOOP.

Letter #3:

The article on Alexandra Grant and Paltrow is hypocritical as some attendees are known for using Botox & fillers. Grant was dubbed by the tabloids as someone who saved Keanu Reeves from grief & was called spiritual, low-key, a philanthropist, and a feminist but she only became famous for dating a man. In August 2018, the New York Times published an article about their publishing company, calling them business partner, which is misleading and unethical if they were dating. A week later, Grant was interviewed for an event and she states that Xartistsbooks was started to solve movie rights concern for her book "The Artist’s Prison." The company is a vanity press & do not accept submission. My research on her philanthropy shows a woman branding her love logo through donation and labeling it philanthropy. People from Greece and surrounding countries accused Grant of cultural appropriation. Please investigate this story.
