Love is in the air, and so are scams. This is a story that combines the two. Andi Potamkin, an heiress to the Potamkin Auto Group, and William Jordan Blackmore, a hairstylist to clients like Marc Jacobs, got “married” in a lavish ceremony in Utah that involved private jets, Elizabeth Olsen, and a dress code for guests. But, plot twist, they never really got legally married! Blackmore has filed a suit against Potamkin, saying that she duped him into believing that they were wed in the eyes of the law.
Potamkin cut off their relationship last December, and the language in the settlement agreement tipped off Blackmore that maybe they weren’t married. It called their wedding a “symbolic ceremony … that did not constitute a legally binding marriage.” Blackmore filed a suit in Brooklyn suing Potamkin and alleging that, “the truth was that Andi never wanted to marry Jordan; she just wanted a lavish wedding experience, a public-relations stunt, and the attention that came with it.”
Now this is the really bonkers part. Blackmore alleges that Potamkin and her father, Alan, orchestrated a sham because Blackmore wouldn’t sign a prenup. Per the suit, Alan and Andi “fraudulently induced Jordan unwittingly to participate in a wedding that was a sham.” Andi allegedly asked their yoga instructor friend to officiate, but asked that she not be ordained because they would be actually married in New York. Blackmore was not clued into the fact that their officiant had been asked to not be ordained. He’s seeking $2 million in damages.
Andi told the New York Post, that the lawsuit “includes tons of untrue and irrelevant information about my family, included for no purpose other than to attempt to publicly embarrass us.” She also said she and Blackmore “consciously uncoupled.”
Their wedding was covered extensively on the Coveteur in a six-part series that chronicled the private plane the couple flew to Utah on, Andi’s getting ready process, the ceremony, the party, and the casino night/rehearsal dinner. Per The Fashion Law, the invites requested that guests wear “eucalyptus, desert rose, and dune ecru” (no, I don’t know what dune ecru is) and change their clothes “frequently.”
