Lisa Bloom will represent the alleged victims of designer Alexander Wang, informs Page Six, and the famous civil rights lawyer, confirmed in an Instagram post on Monday. This happened after Bloom made social media calls offering to investigate allegations that Wang groped and sexually assaulted anonymous men and trans women who told their stories to Instagram accounts @ShitModelMgmt and @DietPrada.
“At this point, I am collecting information,” Bloom told The Daily Beast, adding that he heard “reliable” reports from “at least three” men, but plans to speak with more people during the week. “Frankly, I was bombarded with people,” added Bloom. She declined to comment on the nature of the charges.
Wang emphatically denied the charges, calling the stories “baseless and grotesquely false” in a statement sent to The Daily Beast last week. O Daily Mail published an email that Wang sent to his team, which classified the accusations as “false [and] fed for opportunistic reasons. ”The designer also posted on Instagram:“ My team is doing everything in its power to investigate these allegations and I promise to be honest and transparent throughout the process ”.
Bloom said Wang’s denial is expected. “I find it unfortunate when you walk out of the gate calling people liars, especially when there are several people making similar claims,” added Bloom. “I will also say that I think that his very aggressive refusal to call people ‘liars’ tends to make other people support the first accusers.”
Bloom represented the women who accused Bill Cosby, Bill O’Reilly and Jeffrey Epstein of sexual harassment and abuse, and also served as legal adviser to Harvey Weinstein in 2017.
