Alexander Wang accused of sexual harassment

Isn’t his real first name “Tiny”?

I always assumed Wang was trans.

I thought it was Vera in the OP's pic.

R3 It's actually Vera and Paul Mescal.

Gross pig.

Wang

In this instance I'm all for cancel culture.

Chop off his wang.

Sum ting’s wong with my drink.

Vera Wang's brother?

He's unattractive, so immediate execution is in order.

I cringe when I hear him speak in that ridiculous queeny voice.

R9 wins the Datalounge for today

I'd never even heard of him before. Azealia Banks was apparently his muse before the allegations which sort of makes him seem like a cunt as well. And if he really was drugging and raping guys left and right he truly is one.

Unwelcome sexual advances are never okay. No matter how bad the haircut, being sexually harrassed is a crime. I'm glad AW's behavior was outted.

Yet more unsubstantiated claims.

With that haircut, he deserved to be assaulted., though not sexually.

The internet isn't "abuzz" with anything, it's just the same shit being repeated, and it's not even any specific allegations, just "Wang is an abuser".

R9, R13, this is an old racist trope, at least try to come up with something original.

Agree r19, it's bad enough that someone trotted out "sum ting wong" for the 10,000th time, worse that someone else thinks that "wins."

It wasn't even a Datalounger joke to begin with, it was just a racist phrase reported in some news article.

The shit account "Shit Model Management" is also the account that made shit allegations against the stylist Karl Templer to the Boston Globe, which then had to be retracted, although not after making him lose jobs.

Someone was groped in a packed NYC nightclub? Fetch my smelling salts!

He sells oversized tee-shirts for $500.

His last name is totally triggering to anyone who's been assaulted sexually!

He should change it now before more people are wounded by him.

In other words, male models complain about treatment that women deal with every day of their lives.

Something tells me they wouldn't be complaining if it wasn't some femmy queen doing it.

Yes, abuse in the modeling world isn't right. But it makes you wonder if they have the self-awareness to compare this to what women go through.

What’s a modelling career without the perks?

Who wants to bet the trans models were not in fact molested by him at all but are just saying they were because they have to be the center of attention at all times

Maybe because I'm of a certain age but a quick grope/pinch in a bar is not a big deal - especially if it's over your clothes. Are people that delicate that a little touch is emotionally scarring? Putting your hands down someone's pants for more than a couple of seconds is offensive and rude and deserves and slap/punch but...move on.

R27 - or maybe their male 'lady parts' needed to be adjusted so you don't see the outline of frank and beans on a tight dress walking down the runway.

It's an oxymoron, R24. He IS Asian, after all.

In August people brought up the allegations when Wang went slightly viral after posting a IG of himself dancing to WAP, saying he's a rapist and a trans aggressor.

I was raped.

I had a feeling there was something off about this guy.

I guess the asexual Asian man stereotype is massively erroneous.

R34 Chinese are the world's largest ethnic group, so there is no reason to believe that they're asexual.

BONZAI!!! "TORA,TORA,TORA"....PEARL HARBOR"! GODZILLA. "SUCKEE, FUCKEE FASHION MODEL

He's such a strange, camp, asexual-looking little creature. I can't imagine him/her raping anybody.

R33 There were already allegations in the past that he ran sweatshops in New York. It's his unassuming cutesie Asian face, which always got him off the hook. He seems harmless to those who don't him, even though he is the polar opposite.

Pure trash, just like his mom, Vera.

R40. Vera Wang is not his mom. His mom's name is Ying.

Vera is nor his mom, she's his younger sister.

Are you sure Alexander and Vera aren't the same person? I've never seen them in the same room together.

Wait, isn't he running for mayor of New York? I was going to vote for him.

I'm guessing the Wang Gang means something different now.

r43 Vera Wang is 71. This can't be her.

Vera is 100% plastique.

[quote] Yet more unsubstantiated claims.

And on a gossip site, too!

Sum Ting Wong!

Is it male, female or intersex?

r49 He sounds like a methed out Kardasian.

[quote] Vera Wang is 71. This can't be her.

That's her. There's a series of photos all photoshopped all to hell but it's her. She talked about how she was surprised how people made a big deal of it and that the pictures were actually done to promote the hair clips in her hair , not promote herself or the workout wear she had on.

#wanggangbang

R47, the Shit Model Management and Diet Prada Instagram accounts are considered voices that "call it out" and "speak truth to power", etc., they are not considered gossip sites. These unsubstantiated accusations will probably end Wang's career.

I looked up some photos of him on Google Images-not going to lie, I think he is good-looking. He sounds like a total asshole though.

Wait, that's a guy in OP's pic?

he loves wang so much he made it his last name

Wang has money and can afford boy toys. These models might not be working much, though. No designers would want to be accused by them next time.

r36 you realize all your references are Japanese? Wang is Chinese.

R57, the models who make these accusations are always third rate and don't work much anyhow.

I want a wang and I want it NOW!

[quote] Putting your hands down someone's pants for more than a couple of seconds is offensive and rude and deserves and slap/punch but...move on.

A couple of seconds? I thought we were allowed more time.

Oops! Mea culpa to all those I may have transgressed.

Besides the Frankenstein looking guy in the OP, the rest seem to be anonymous - can he get canceled from that?

He used R Kelly in his 2017 campaign? What a cunt, should’ve been canceled for that.

"Alexander, the Other Side of Wang"

I'm sure he only targeted white guys.

If Alex is Bill Cosbying people, his victims should come forward in a more legit manner than just emailing/ IMing some guy.

Either give the details and prove up the accusations or fuck off. Saying "I was groped in a crowded nightclub" tells me nothing? What exactly was done to you in terms of specific physical movements? Had you been drinking before or after the alleged event? What was your interaction, if any, before the alleged groping occurred? How crowded was the venue? Were people getting bumped into one another? Were there any words exchanged at the time of the alleged incident? And I could go on.

Must check out the wang before we pass further judgement.

R48, R9 did this line sooner and better.

r57 Rentboys are not very exciting as there is no hunt, and the sex is guaranteed. Wang was turned on by being in control of an unwilling sexual participant. Kind of like Dahmer, without the murder (as far as we know).

What Wang did is wrong, but when the Naomi/Epstein news broke out with Anonymous, Diet Prada stayed 100% silent on that just because Naomi has commented on their posts and shouted them out. They're really chummy with her, but how hypocritical is that. She was practically outed as a Madam. If they really cared about abuse, they could have called her out too.

I noticed the same thing, r71.

It is very weird how they go after some people in the industry and are completely silent on designers/fashionistas they like.

"Either give the details and prove up the accusations or fuck off. Saying "I was groped in a crowded nightclub" tells me nothing? What exactly was done to you in terms of specific physical movements?

The bar gropers are TRIGGERED, y'all!

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE POOR RAPISTS!

Naomi does seem protected just like Oprah. Their ties with Epstein and Weinstein never were heavily looked into.

The accusations I saw on Twitter involved more than groping. Multiple accounts of him spiking water and drinks with drugs. Likes to target straight boys and trans. His crew of hangers-on appear to deep in it too.

I can’t stand Diet Prada. I know that’s not really the point of this just saying.

Didn't he use to date Evan Lysacek?

R72 R74 I think she paid them off. Diet Prada can cancel someone in a day, but being that she was already friendly with them, she could have approached them with cash. When Gucci pulled out the racists masks and Prada pulled the racist looking keychains, Diet Prada definitely went easy on them. More of a "we need to do better" approach.

Those allegations are all so vague r75 and along the lines of "yeah, he did something like this to me too". Sure, Wang gropes both trans women and trans men... I never saw anything about his crew.

I doubt Naomi paid them off. The truth is Diet Prada is trash, for some reason they don't like Wang so decided to try to take him down, along with that garbage anonymous account Shit Model Management.

I think the main point of all of this is that these things happen in a work environment. None of these models are complaining about things that are happening on their downtime - its always at fashion week parties etc which is part of their job. Of course we’ve all been groped at some point in our lives in a crowded bar - and get over it - but it’s not the same during work. Esp from someone that is powerful in your industry. Are the “get over it” people this dumb that they can’t recognize this crucial difference? It’s a totally different context.

If these allegations are borne out to be true he has no place running a business like this, he’s not responsible enough. You all know this to be true.

On a separate note diet Prada are nightmares and I await the day when something from their past (old tweets, old photos, stories from old friends etc.) pops up and they have this done to them. Will be funny.

Vera and Alexander are not related, nor is Vera a Wang computer heiress.

"Vera Ellen Wang was born and raised in New York City, and is of Chinese descent. Her parents were born in China and came to the United States in the mid-1940s.

Her mother, Florence Wu (Wu Chifang), worked as a translator for the United Nations, while her father, Cheng Ching Wang (Wang Chengqing), a graduate of Yanjing University and MIT, owned a medicine company. Her maternal grandfather is Fengtian clique warlord Wu Junsheng, who was killed by the Empire of Japan in the Huanggutun incident in 1928. Wang has one younger brother, Kenneth."

Vera's two daughters are adopted.

It seems, not only was Alexander Wang assaulting models he was working with, her was randomly grabbing attractive men at clubs, then he assumed they'd be OK with it because of 'who' he is. It's not OK. Assault is assault. Being famous doesn't give the famous person the right to sexually assault another person.

He also has a fetish for spanking random men in clubs then running away.

No Wang, No Wang!

I love Sandra Oh

Utter horseshit. Anonymous accusations repeated over and over. Get over it ladies. If someone grabs your junk swat him away. Done.

R83 again that is a situation depending on the person having a kind of ‘public persona’ that they think gives them a free pass. Crazy behaviour but it’s not applicable to a private citizen type of person really. And ofc nobody is suggesting someone’s celebrity should allow them permission to sexually assault someone.

There was a rumour going around a couple of years ago that Wang used dildos on his whores because he can't get it up.

Alexander Wang and Michelle Yeoh. Separated at birth?

I'd let Tom Ford grope me anytime.

The question is: Would he want to?

r91 ditto!

Alexander Wang responds:

"Over the last few days, I have been on the receiving end of baseless and grotesquely false accusations. These claims have been wrongfully amplified by social media accounts infamous for posting defamatory material from undisclosed and/or anonymous sources with zero evidence or any fact checking whatsoever," Wang said in the statement.

"Seeing these lies about me being perpetuated as truths has been infuriating," Wang continued. "I have never engaged in the atrocious behavior described and would never conduct myself in the manner that’s been alleged. I intend to get to the bottom of this and hold accountable whoever is responsible for originating these claims and viciously spreading them online."

So the model repeatedly gets violated the same night, on the dance floor then in a cab? Wouldn’t he have left if he didn’t’ like or want the attention? I’m not dismissing Alexander’s behavior but I also believe there are a lot of young guys that throw themselves upon him looking to be “discovered” as a model and yes, perhaps Wang is at a comfort level with that as well as having an insular bunch of people that accept or are used to these guys approaching him.

SO the liquor came fast and furious- but no one force fed him the drinks and it’s impossible to test for drugs after the fact- I’ve mistakenly drank grain alcohol that was refilled into a bottle of Kettle One served table side with mixers and almost blacked out because it’s much lower quality that hit me like a freight train.

It sounds like someone didn’t get the cushy catwalk modeling job they were promised... and/or perhaps has a drinking problem.

Show us your wang!

Oh boy. And after just running for president, too.

R94, the "models" who make these accusations are fourth-rate models who would never be hired to work on a Wang runway or in a Wang campaign. I read a comment somewhere that the only models who go to these parties and clubs are the ones no one's heard of who are desperate to network or who like to hang around the fashion scene for the parties. The real professional models don't need to network in that way and are probably in bed so they can wake up early the next day for their next show.

He's a dead ringer for my laundress.

That may be racist. I’m not sure. I haven’t decided yet but I’ve got my eye on you.

We need more evidence. That is all.

No MSG, please.

Women get drugged every day of their lives?

I find it hard to believe none of the executives at the parent company foresaw any of this beforehand and took the efforts to change his behavior or rearrange precarious situations that might encourage it. If it was my company underwriting millions of dollars of investment in Alexander Wang, I’d insist he host parties in bright, well lit art galleries with plenty of cameras and security everywhere for EVERYONE’S protection, not dark clubs. I also bet Alex has some sort of morality or personal behavior clause in his contracts after what happened with other crash and burn designers like Galliano that basically torched his namesake brand.

Also, most of the clubs have cameras and surveillance everywhere, so for Alex to vehemently deny it he must be pretty sure there’s no cellphone or club footage that will surface.

He should be cancelled for his shit clothes.

If I had his money and penchant for drinking, staying thin and attracting young models,

I’d hire a nanny to slap my hand any time I tried to eat or grope someone.

Oops, we went after the wrong Wang. Dang!

Yet again more Social Media mob firing squads who don’t go to the police 🧐

R93 he is beautiful. I'd love to be sexually harassed by him

who?

Who? I googled him/it and still can't figure out who this is.
