Harrods ‘Utterly Appalled’ By Rape Allegations Against Late Billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed
ForbesOCT 2024
Mohamed Al Fayed was a monster on par with Jimmy Savile, Harvey Weinstein, and Jeffrey Epstein. His money and power, particularly as the owner of the department store, allowed him to build a dangerously toxic work environment where he could abuse women with impunity. It's beyond tragic that due to this power, his victims only felt capable of speaking up after his death.
The case of Al Fayed goes far beyond a toxic work environment and all the way to the top of the British government and Royal Family. It's no wonder that the man who bought off members of Parliamentparliament and had a relationship with the former Duke of Windsor, was never prosecuted. Women were likely kept quiet not just by their powerful boss, but by the entire upper echelon of British society.
