Bianca Jagger has come forward to dispute the 40-year-old claim that she rode into Studio 54 on a white horse, despite pictures suggesting the contrary.
Jagger was pictured atop the horse alongside then-husband, Mick Jagger inside the legendary New York nightclub in 1977. Nevertheless, in a letter published yesterday (25 April) she set the record straight, explaining she did not in fact ride through the door of the club on the animal.
Studio 54 owner Steve Rubell reportedly brought the horse to the club as a surprise after seeing a picture of her as a child on one.
"It was a beautiful white horse that reminded me of mine and I made the foolish decision to get on it for a few minutes...No doubt you will agree with me that it is one thing to, on the spur of the moment, to get on a horse in a nightclub, but it is quite another to ride in on one. As an environmentalist and an animal rights defender I find the insinuation that I would ride a horse into a nightclub offensive...I hope that you can understand the difference between ‘coming in’ on a horse and getting on one."
Jagger wrote the letter in response to a recent interview with an American businessman called Barry Diller, who said that she "came in" to Studio 54 on the horse.
