"I know I am. Yes. I definitely told her a million girls would kill for the job. I was having to do her job as well."
"I remember feeling like it was a betrayal at the time. The fiction part of the book is that this character turns into this superstar, and I did not witness that."
Leslie Fremar believes she inspired the character Emily in The Devil Wears Prada, stating that some lines in the book were taken from her. She worked as Anna Wintour's assistant and was surprised when Wintour mentioned the book. Fremar felt betrayed by the portrayal in the book, which she found to be harsher than the final version. She acknowledges that her high-strung demeanor may have contributed to the character's unpleasant traits, as she often felt overwhelmed by her responsibilities.
