Fashion designer Alexander Wang accused of sexual assault
    2021-02-25  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

AMERICAN fashion designer Alexander Wang is facing further allegations of sexual misconduct.

Keaton Bullen, 21, a student at New York’s Parsons School of Design, has alleged to BBC News he was assaulted by Wang at a club in the city in 2019.

It comes as the high-profile lawyer Lisa Bloom says she is now representing 11 men with misconduct allegations against Wang.

Wang robustly denies all the claims made against him.

Bullen, then 20, was with a friend at the Fishbowl club in New York City when he says he encountered Wang on Aug. 24, 2019 at about 11:30 p.m.

He told the BBC they had initially talked about their mutual alma mater, Parsons School of Design in lower Manhattan, where Bullen is currently studying interior design.

Wang then invited the pair to his table and offered them vodka by the bottle before eventually leading him to the dance floor, Bullen said. In the early hours of the morning, Bullen alleged Wang sexually assaulted him.

Paul Tweed, one of Wang’s lawyers, said he was currently awaiting CCTV footage of the club from the night which he said “his client believes will totally disprove this allegation”.

Bullen said he felt a duty to speak out to support others who had come forward with allegations and were being called “liars.”

He is not taking legal action and said he did not want his photo used, out of concern the public would accuse him of seeking attention.

Allegations against Wang previously emerged in December after British model Owen Mooney claimed on TikTok that the designer had groped him during a concert at a New York City nightclub in January 2017.

In a statement at the time, Wang denied the allegations as “baseless and grotesquely false” and said he would “hold accountable” those responsible for spreading them.
