Mohamed Al Fayed

They really hate this guy who passed away a year ago.

All over the news for weeks and hundreds of women coming forward saying they were assaulted by him.

It doesn't seem plausible but the allegations are being made and they say those around him protected him i.e. doctors, assistants etc. They deny it.

He owned the prestigious Harrods department store in London between 1985 and 2005 as well at the Ritz in Paris and other hotels.

The latest offering was that Princess Diana was "scared" of him when she was dating his son Dodi.

I don't know what to think about this one. Has anyone been following this story?

They’re literally airing documentaries on this guy calling him monster with women on camera weeping.

All of it is circumstantial and the accused has passed

Who to believe? What are the next steps?

The police say that they will investigate but the doctor named denies the allegations.

The episodes on The Crown that included him were really superb.

Can you tell me more on how he is portrayed in the Crown? I cancelled Netflix

This might be a reaction to trash his name (I don’t know)

He was never liked by the Deep State even though they obviously gave him a passport...

And he said for years he suspected they killed his son and Princess Diana.

For the most part, I believe the women. Their allegations are detailed and have some independent corroboration. Moreover, the British legal system is much less indulgent toward false allegations and fabrication by plaintiffs than the American legal system.

I also surmise that part of why the British royal family was so hostile to Dianna's romance with Dodi was that, due to comprehensive security surveillance, they knew about his father Mohammed Al Fayed's predations and feared that William and Harry could be drawn into that kind of life.

Within limits, the British public will tolerate sexual misconduct among Britain's royals and aristocrats, but not when it extends to royals being pals with dissolute foreigners and preying upon ordinary and often vulnerable women. That is why Prince Andrew is in such disgrace for his ties with Epstein and Virginia Giuffre while Charles is now King with the notorious sexual climber Camilla at his side as Queen.

If Dianna had married Dodi and William or Harry had been drawn into Muhammed Al Fayed's orbit, the British monarchy would now be teetering on the brink in the current round of stories.

I’d like to see more corroboration kind of like why Epstein’s ‘client’ list is never released but you make an interesting conclusion

By the way, it says in one of the stories at Link I posted Harrods are paying out compensation and settling with some accusers.

Curious timing all this.

If the doctor is accused and involved then there can be some corroboration same with countless staff who they say protected him.

The doctor has actually been referred to her professional body so we’ll see what happens.

I find it strange you can just accuse ONE person in orchestrating all this who has passed away .

There is no way you can assault women on that scale without help over the years in which case there will be more evidence and perhaps some kind of trail there?

I’m no detective...

My guess is that there was no definitive client list by Epstein per se, but that he had various lists of pals and associates of varying degrees of documented participation and culpability. The best list now would be whatever was compiled by FBI, CIA, and other intel agency analysts after reviewing everything they had after Epstein was captured and his files and recordings taken by the US, but even that would be subject to manipulation for various administrative and political reasons.

In The Crown, he was portrayed as a very rich mogul who desperately wanted British citizenship. His applications had been rejected several times, and he blamed racism for it (he had bribed politicians in the past). He pressured his son Dodi to date Princess Diana and then propose to her as a means of getting citizenship for himself and Dodi.

Dodi didn't want to do it, but his father was extremely overbearing and essentially ordered Dodi to do it. Diana wasn't interested in a long-term committed relationship, and they were going to talk more about it when the accident happened.

Thanks for that most interesting. It’s a bit of a saga where I dont know who to believe.

There is no other evidence or corroboration.

And even in the 80s and 90s we had tape machines, etc!

He even screwed my Irish Setter too....what a monster !(sarc.)

Watching the woke “me too” wing nut display is entertaining.

They need to be careful , his ghost may arise to screw them all once again ? As if he did thousands of them?

Don’t disturb him,he is enjoying his 72 Virgins.

You are almost certainly correct about there being an extensive evidence and witness trail that can and will be gradually revealed. I also suspect that the British tabloids knew about Al Fayed but did not dare publish due to his wealth and power and the potentially severe consequences under British libel law.

Oh boy. I think there were two or three episodes.

They portrayed him as a very materialistic man, especially with regard to being judged on what you have in life. He was short and maybe that gave him a complex to acquire great wealth during his lifetime.

What alluded him was having the recognition of royalty and that he felt he could buy into the royal family. He found out that the Queen loved to shop at Harrods. So he bought the company thinking that would get him in with a queen. It did not. In fact, I think she despised him. But we know from the crown series that the royal family were ultra snobs.

When he attempted to sit with the family during the Wimbledon Competition, the queen stuck Diana with him.but they had was a lovely time together. That led to him introducing Diana to his son and it was his son that he felt he could get in with the family.

The episode that shows what happened behind the scenes is extremely moving And I really question how they got the information. I’m sure it is very accurate. I was strongly rec getting back on a free trial just to watch those episodes.

Nothing portrays him as a sex addict.

In the end, he bore deep guilt for his sins death as his desire to see him with Di lkilledctgem joth.

“Me Too”, yes.

I can’t help feel suspect that he assaulted hundreds of women it’s just impossible he died at 94 so he was old back then i.e in his 60s and 70s

No way he could get away with it just on his own as they’d have you believe.

BBC is in particular have documentaries and are airing the allegations and really hyping it.

Questionable journalism. He’s not here to defend himself which doesn’t sit well with me

What’s the point? I want to hear from his associates. Wake me up when they start talking!

THus i s aboiut establishing a way via propaganda to control the masses of women vioters for the purpposes of the socialist overlords who want absolute power to bring about the New World order of Klaus Schwab.

They have hooked women in this meme. Now they will reel them in.

I pity the next poor bastard who puts his pud on the wrong place.Castration without die process. The criminal dinkbat P DItty ios now being crucified in the USA, rightoy so....but the case is being cranked up so that women will become a lobby whose pu$$y ware must become a powerful unified lobby for the socialist vote.

I mean , think about it, what woman would not want to vote with their pu$$ies instead of their minds. They are legion, screamers and mostly suffer from TDS.

The British version is now being established....they have their boogy man.

Yes. I do think you need to look at it case by case. For years there have been questions about that rapper

Al Fayed just hard to believe he was raping women with impunity in his 60s and 70s.

I can’t believe im defending an immigrant in Al Fayed but they’re really trashing his name constantly the last few weeks and its not really news.

He’s 6ft under.

Something not right with it all (In my opinion)

I agree with you. Partly it's applying contemporary standards to what was common behavior (in terms of seduction) for powerful men a few decades ago.

But mainly it's the British establishment venting its spleen at a social-climbing foreigner whom they detested for decades, and also getting back at him for the claims he made about the royals & British secret services being involved in Diana's and his son's deaths.

It’s all obvious. 1) he raped several women. 2) hundreds of liars he didn’t rape want money.

It does feel this way and all the coverage devoted to it

Very strange the whole thing. Where is the case for the defense? Where is the balance?
