American Fashion Designer, Alexander Wang Accused Of Sexual Abuse By Male, Transgender Models
American fashion designer, Alexander Wang has been accused of sexually assaulting male and transgender models including drugging and groping them.
Various posts surfaced on Instagram where many of his alleged victims came forward to share their story, detailing the alleged assault.
Wang‘s accusers, most of whom kept their identities anonymous, went public with their allegations on social media on Monday.
The New York City fashion designer, who is openly gay, is known for his star-studded parties following the success of his fashion label launch in 2005.
They alleged 37-year-old Wang is a ‘sexual predator‘ and claimed the designer drugged their drinks with Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), a psychoactive drug better one in as ecstasy or molly, and sexually assaulted them at events in recent years, WWD reports.
The sexual assault stories against Wang appeared on Sh*t Model Management’s Instagram page – a watchdog agency in the fashion industry.
One of the posts read;
Alexander Wang is an alleged sexual predator, many male models, and trans models have come out and spoken about the alleged sexual abuse that Alexander Wang has inflicted upon them. It is important to show your support to these victims by unfollowing Alexander Wang and boycotting his clothing line.
While most of Wang’s accusers have been anonymous, model Owen Mooney came forward with his story.
In a now-deleted TikTok story, Moony stated that he was at a packed club in New York City in 2017 when Wang allegedly violated him.
According to The Sun, Mooney stated that he was by himself at one point and Wang who was next to Mooney took advantage of the fact that no one could move.
In the video uploaded on TikTok, Mooney alleged;
I was by myself at one point and this guy next to me obviously took at advantage of the fact that no one could f**king move.
Mooney alleged that Wang “just started touching me up, like, fully up my leg, in my crotch”, stressing;
It made me freeze completely me because I was in so much shock. And then I look to my left to see who it was and it was a really famous fashion designer and I just couldn’t believe that he was doing that to me.
Another accuser, a trans man, claimed he rode in a limousine with Wang after a party and that the designer gave him water and made sure he drank it all.
The person said;
A few moments after, they noticed they were rolling and had been giving Molly water.
This was a regular occurrence because a year after being told this story, I also heard other people confirm that they also got drugged on the way to any after-party.
Another alleged victim also claimed Wang had done the same ‘Molly water trick on me‘, while another accused him of drugging two friends in 2014.
Reacting to this, Fashion advocacy group, Model Alliance issued a statement on Tuesday in support of Wang’s accusers.
The group stated;
We at Model Alliance stand in solidarity with those who have shared accusations of sexual abuse by Alexander Wang.
Lets be clear: The fashion industry’s lack of transparency and accountability leaves all models vulnerable to abuse, regardless of their sex or gender identity.
