He dated Michael Cominotto for 20 years before they got married in 2011.

He has talked about it.  He is not embarrassed about it and I don't care either but I have seen models and hosts who try not to get too close.

I think a lot of designers get handsy with the models. I wouldn’t like it as a model. Of course, nobody ever asked me to be a model! But, as someone who has started sewing, I get it. Fit is very important. I’ve even heard that fit is the most important part of fashion. I know I scrutinize my clothes hanging on my dress form and sometimes you just get a better sense when you can feel how things fall. I’m not defending the designers, because like I said, I wouldn’t want that happening to me. But, I think they are sitting back and admiring their own work and touch the clothes/models as part of taking it all in and explaining it to others.

Dennis seems to be guilty and his as well as Marla Wynne. I really felt like Louis DelOlio did this as well.

@GoodyShoes   I have seen Louis getting nasty with a host, but I have never seen him inapproperiately touch a model or anyone else.

 

When Dennis did it, it wasn't an accident or him touching a garment.  It was a full on grab.  I'd have slapped him...even on live TV.
