Tim Gunn Jokes 'I'm In A Witness Protection Program' Thanks To Anna Wintour's Wrath (VIDEO)

Tim Gunn talked to Regis and Kelly about perhaps the most ridiculous anecdote in his book "Gunn's Golden Rules": that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour was once carried down stairs by her bodyguards. Gunn revealed that Wintour read the excerpt (most likely when it appeared in the New York Post) and "went ballistic," saying it wasn't true and demanding an apology. What's the lesson to be learned here? "Accept responsibility for your own behavior," Gunn explained, adding, "If you're going to be carried down five flights of stairs own up to it." He also joked that he's now in a witness protection program thanks to Wintour's wrath. Or maybe he really is.

Tim Gunn is a gem of the first order. His candor, wit, and command of the language are greatly appreciated in a sea of crude and barely literate reality stars. Can't wait to read his book!

Anna Wintour certainly comes across as a monster without help from others. I am sure many other people have Wintour stories...only Gunn has the designer cojones to put it out there.

Stick to your guns, Gunn. This woman needs to hear the truth! And, she needs to get a grip on the fact that she influences less than .00001% of the women in the world. Some how she and her ilk are able to hold onto their popularity despite the FACT that the avg US woman is a size 14 and isn't air brushed. Besides, when was that last time Anna changed her hairstyle??

Tim Gunn is a breath of fresh air. He never takes himself too seriously and has a very kind spirit.

Anna Wintour carried down the stairs? I'm so embarrassed for her.

The fact that Anna Wintour thinks she is so important that she needs body guards is ludicrous. Unless she is worried about an unhinged Isaac Mizrahi.......

Honestly, anyone with money and a name in print needs a bodyguard. She's not important to me, not to you...only to a crazy person, right? Exactly.

Gunn should get Serriano as his bodyguard. He's fierce enough to wipe up the floor with Wintour.
