A dual Italian-American citizen and creative director for several luxury brands including Tiffany & Co., Coach, Bergdorf Goodman and Kate Spade, Testanero was caught on tape riding a subway in New York City berating a Trump supporter, calling him “uneducated” and a “racist.” The situation escalated when Testanero ran out of the subway car and attempted to snatch the individual’s red “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, resulting in her tripping and falling onto the cement. A former coworker noted in an interview with the New York Post that Testanero had become “extremely liberal and very agitated,” often engaging in arguments with Republicans and calling out individuals she believed to be “racist.”
