The Guess co-founder Paul Marciano has called claims about his alleged sexual harassment “fabricated”, “false” and an attempt to “extract big money settlements”. Three former models for the fashion brand who alleged they were at the receiving end of sexually inappropriate behaviour from Marciano filed a lawsuit against Guess accusing it of aiding and abetting his alleged harassment.
Marciano has repeatedly denied allegations against him, calling these latest accusations, which include groping of the breasts of one of the named models, “false”. Marciano went on to suggest the model’s law firm, The Bloom Firm, headed by Lisa Bloom, had a plan to get him. “I know for a fact that The Bloom Firm has fabricated false claims to alleged rape about me and others to extract big money settlements,” he said in a statement, as reported by Women’s Wear Daily.
Bloom had previously called Guess “the worst company that I have ever seen”. She added that she didn’t know “of another company that has anywhere near this number of allegations of serious sexual harassment … against a prominent executive” and “yet continues to employ him”.
