Law Roach has set the record straight on what made him suddenly retire from his job as a celebrity stylist.
The fashion insider said he was unhappy because work was taking his life.
“I just started realizing that I’m not in a relationship, I’ve never been in a relationship,” he told model Emily Ratajkowski on her “High Low” podcast. “The last eight, nine years I’ve just been focused on my career, blinders on, so I’ve lost a lot of friends, and then my friends don’t live the same lifestyle. So we can’t, I can’t can’t plan a trip with them. They’re like, ‘Oh, we’re going to Miami.’ And I’m like, ‘If I don’t work, I’ll come.’ But usually I work.

The stylist admitted he was embarrassed that social media users were blaming Zendaya for her retirement due to an interaction between the two at a fashion show earlier this month.
“It wasn’t fair to her, and the things they were saying, of course, aren’t true, so it spilled over onto my pain, she started hurting too. And I didn’t think, I didn’t think not that it was fair, because she always protected me in this industry and vice versa,” he explained.
While he’s done doing celebrity hair, Law Roach said he plans to continue working with Zendaya in some capacity.
