In the weeks following the release of the podcast and documentary Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods, these reports contain fresh information about sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape that was sent to the news.
They allege that Al Fayed, who passed away in 2017, targeted women who worked for companies other than his own and deployed a wider variety of abusive techniques.
Several of the women who spoke with the news claim that they were duped into joining Al Fayed’s domestic staff and that after that, the billionaire sexually abused them, even at his Oxted estate.
Eight years before Al Fayed’s Harrods purchase helped make him a household figure in the UK, a lady claims in the earliest abuse accusation the news has ever heard that she was beaten by him in Dubai in 1977.
She claims that Al Fayed personally threatened and stalked her. According to women who worked at Harrods, he later used a group of security personnel to carry out similar intimidation techniques.
Thirteen of the sixty-five women who came forward to the news with their stories of abuse claim to have worked at Harrods.
Harrods provided the following statement in response to the questions: “Since the documentary’s broadcast, more than 200 people have entered the Harrods process to resolve disputes with this.
