不過，李敏的澄清新聞一出，溫哥華時裝週主辦單位隨即發表聲明，強調李敏發布的訊息是假的，如果繼續造謠，不排除對李敏採取法律行動。
以下是溫哥華時裝週主辦單位的原文聲明：
Regarding False Information of VFW and GFC Spread by Min Lee
This email is in regards to Ms. Min Lee and the false information published on May 30th, 2018 at the link below:
https://udn.com/news/story/7321/3171411
1. Global Fashion Collective is an extension of Vancouver Fashion Week, which is also under VFW. We run shows at NYFW and AFWT one to two times at each location yearly since October 2017. Vancouver Fashion Week/ Global Fashion Collective has absolutely no affiliation with Ms. Min Lee other than she once volunteered at VFW as a makeup artist in 2014. VFW have not now or ever had any business dealings with Ms. Lee and any assertion to that fact is completely false.
2. Please see the screenshot attached #1. Ms. Lee had never designed or created face charts for any designers in VFW or GFC as this is part of the responsibilities of our key makeup artist.
3. Please see the screenshot attached #2. Ms. Lee approached us regarding her interest in being involved in GFC showcase at AFWT. Therefore, we met her once and spoke briefly but did not come to an agreement about partnering with VFW and GFC. To clarify, she was not invited to our organization as a key MUA at AFWT and we did not work with her.
We are not certain what she is trying to accomplish. However, we are concerned about our reputation and having a false information spread to the media about VFW and GFC.
We take this issue very seriously and will take additional legal action if Ms. Lee does not cease and desist from trying to associate herself with our organization.

關於李敏散播「溫哥華時裝週」與「環球時尚集團」的虛假信息
https://udn.com/news/story/7321/3171411
Global Fashion Collective（GFC環球時尚集團）是Vancouver Fashion Week（VFW溫哥華時裝週）的延伸，也屬於VFW旗下。從2017年10月起，我們每年在紐約時裝週和東京時裝週舉辦1至2次展覽。李敏除了2014年自願在VFW當化妝師外，VFW及GFC完全沒與她聯繫。VFW也沒有與李敏進行任何生意往來，她的說法完全錯誤。
李敏從未替VFW或GFC任何服裝設計師，設計過模特兒的妝容，因為這是我們首席彩妝師的職責。
李敏提到她有興趣參加東京時裝週的GFC展會。我們曾經見過她，簡短地談話，但沒有達成合作的協議。我們要澄清，她沒有被邀請到我們的組織擔任東京時裝週的首席彩妝師，我們沒有和她一起工作。
我們不確定李敏到底想要幹什麼，但我們擔心我們的聲譽，也擔心李敏向媒體散布VFW和GFC的虛假訊息。
我們非常認真地看待此問題，如果李敏繼續這樣，我們不排除採取法律行動。
