Bobbi Brown says she would still be 'miserable' if she hadn't been fired from her namesake brand

"I got fired, which is a good thing. And I didn't know what I was going to do. It was the first time in so many years."

"For the majority of the time I was in charge, you know, until it became definitely more corporate, and there was a new leader, and things just were not about supporting individual brands and founders."

"First of all, if I didn't get fired, I'd still be there, miserable. So, it's really good that it happened."

Bobbi Brown, after being fired from Estee Lauder, reflected on her career transition. She founded Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1991 and sold it to Estee Lauder in 1995, agreeing to a 25-year noncompete. Brown experienced difficulties in her last years at the company, feeling disconnected from its corporate direction. She acknowledged that her firing was ultimately beneficial, allowing her to escape a miserable situation and pursue new opportunities in her career.
