More than twenty female former workers have testified to the news, alleging that the 94-year-old billionaire sexually harassed them, including raping them.
Al-Fayed: Predator at Harrods, a documentary and podcast, gathered evidence that Harrods not only did nothing to stop abuse charges during Fayed’s ownership but also assisted in covering them up.
The present owners of Harrods expressed their “utter appalled” response to the claims and claimed that the victims had been let down, for which the business offered their heartfelt apologies.
“This company’s web of corruption and abuse was unbelievable and very dark,” says attorney Bruce Drummond, who is part of a legal team that is representing it.
The events happened in Abu Dhabi, St. Tropez, London, and Paris.
“I made it clear that I wished for that to not occur. I didn’t offer my permission. One of the women says, “All I wanted was for it to end.” Fayed raped me at his Park Lane apartment.”
Another woman claims he sexually assaulted her at the Mayfair address when she was a teenager.
She claims that Mohamed Al Fayed was a sexual predator and a monster, calling all of the employees at Harrods his “playthings.”
“We were all rather afraid. He deliberately instilled terror. If he replied, “Jump,” the workers would inquire as to how high.
While he was alive, Fayed was the target of charges of sexual assault, but the scope of these claims is unusual.
