Unfortunately, though, when the victims of assault are members of the LGBTQ+ community, these issues don\u2019t always get the attention they deserve. Luckily, there are some brave survivors coming forward now with allegations against celebrated designer <strong>Alexander Wang<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trigger warning for assault, rape, and predatory behavior.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: FKA Twigs Explains Why She Went Public With Shia LaBeouf Abuse Allegations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The wave of accusations against Wang, who has dressed celebs like <strong>Rihanna<\/strong>, <strong>Lady Gaga<\/strong>, <strong>Miley Cyrus<\/strong>, <strong>Zoe Kravitz<\/strong>, <strong>Bella Hadid<\/strong>, and more, began on <strong>TikTok<\/strong>\u00a0with <strong>Owen Mooney<\/strong>. The model responded to a prompt about weirdest \u201cseeing a celebrity in public\u201d experiences with this shocking allegation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBy weird, I guess\u2026 being sexually assaulted by one counts, right? \u2018Cause in 2017, I was in a club in New York City, and me and a bunch of mates went to watch the r<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>er <strong>Cupcakke<\/strong>, and the club was just like, hectic, it was so packed, could not move. And I was by myself at one point, and this guy next to me, obviously, like, took advantage of the fact that no one could f**king move, and he just started, like, touching me up, fully like, up my leg, in my crotch. It made me like, freeze completely, because I was in so much shock. And then I looked to my left to see who it was, and it was this really famous fashion designer. And I just couldn\u2019t believe that he was doing that to me, it just made me go into even more shock. It was, like, really f**ked up, and I just had to slowly move myself away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While Mooney didn\u2019t mention the designer by name, he confirmed Wang as the perpetrator when a commenter guessed accurately. In a since-deleted video, he shared:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTurns out, Alexander Wang is a massive sexual predator, and there\u2019s been a load of other people that he\u2019s done this to. So in that case, he needs to be exposed. \u2026 And like, now, any time I see his name mentioned, or I see him with celebrities, they\u2019re like best friends, it just reminds me of what he did, and it\u2019s just a really f**ked up memory to have. So yeah, he just needs to be cancelled.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>See the videos captured (below):<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J5b064JtuK\">pic.twitter.com\/J5b064JtuK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 shit model (@shitmodelmgmt) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shitmodelmgmt\/status\/1343372320455450627?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 28, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The allegations were picked up by the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> account <strong>S**t Model Management<\/strong>, which seeks accountability for models in the fashion industry.
