In late December, designer Alexander Wang faced a series of allegations of sexual assault charges that he initially denied and dismissed as false "in a grotesque way." However, two months later, the 37-year-old designer says he "will do better".
"A number of individuals have recently spoken out against me in connection with my personal conduct in the past. I support their right to speak and I have listened carefully to their stories and I am sorry that I acted in a way that caused them pain. Although I disagree with some of the details of these personal interactions, I will set a better example and use my influence to encourage others to recognize harmful behaviors. "Life is about learning and growing, and now that I know more, I will do better." - he wrote in an Instagram post .
Wang's alleged victims spoke through several videos on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter, to show in detail his behavior. Among other things it was said that Wang deceives people, gives them drugs or forces them to get drunk at parties. There were also repeated allegations by some transgender women, who said the designer forced them to expose their genitals.
The New York Magazine interviewed seven people whose allegations of misconduct ranged from jumps to forced oral sex. Some of them said that Wang reached into his underwear and touched his genitals; some said Wang spilled alcohol on their throats.
The designer declined to comment on the allegations made for New York magazine, except in one case. A man named Hugo said he suspects Wang had sex without his knowledge. Wang's lawyer, Eric M. George, called the action "impossible" and called it a "homophobic swear" - a homophobic act that seeks to tarnish Wang's image.
