Q: In 1992 film director Spike Lee initiated a boycott of Liz Claiborne clothing due to racist remarks that Claiborne supposedly made on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
A: Fact. This is an example of how a false legend can be given credibility by a celebrity who inadvertently helps to perpetuate it; Spike Lee assumed what he heard was fact and acted on it, even though Liz Claiborne never made such remarks.
