This is all over the news. I'm not sure I believe any of these allegations. He died last year and it seems an exercise to ruin his rep and get $$$ out of Harrods.

The UK Establishment never liked him especially as he blamed them for his son Dodi and Princess Diana's death.

I have become jaded to grown women coming forth many many years later with allegations like this that cannot be proven or the person, if alive, is supposed to prove he did not do it.

I just don’t believe them anymore.

If nobody came out and filed complaints about it at the time these things allegedly occurred, and suddenly gets a conscience 20 years later, I hold them in contempt. If the allegations were ever true, they allowed a serial abuser to continue abusing innocent people. The man is dead and can’t defend himself, so I look at these overdue allegations as worthless. Time to move on.

So horrific was the alleged abuse suffered at the hands of Al-Fayed, lawyers representing his victims have compared him to sexual predators Jimmy Savile and Jeffrey Epstein.

I'd reverse that PR spin - the fact that the lawyers representing the victims are comparing Al-Fayed to Savile and Epstein means that they WANT the public to think that their clients' suffered horrific abuse.

The whole "Me Too" movement reminds of the joke:

Man: "Will you sleep with me for $1 million?"

Woman: "Yes"

Man: "How about $1,000?"

Woman: "What kind of woman do you think I am?"

Man: "We've already established that: now we're just haggling over the price."

Many of these women knew exactly what they were getting into and had ample opportunity to quit or go somewhere else, but the money and career opportunity were too great so they put up with it. Same with Weinstein in many cases, if not all of them.

They knew their sexual attractiveness was advancing their careers and also probably know their ability alone would not have justified their advancement to the positions they achieved.

Were the guys sleazebags? Sure. But so were the women.
