Lisa Bloom represents alleged victims of fashion designer Alexander Wang, Page Six reports, and the famed civil rights lawyer confirmed in an Instagram post on Monday. This comes after Bloom has made calls on social media to investigate claims that Wang is groping and sexually assaulting anonymous men and trans women who came forward with their stories on Instagram accounts @ShitModelMgmt and @DietPrada.
“At this point I’m gathering information,” Bloom told The Daily Beast, adding that she’s heard “credible” stories from “at least three” men, but she plans to talk to more people throughout the week. “I have been bombarded with people, frankly,” added Bloom. She declined to comment on the nature of the charges.
Wang has firmly denied the allegations, calling the stories “baseless and grotesquely false” in a statement sent to The Daily Beast last week. The Daily mail published an email Wang sent to his staff, calling the allegations “untrue” [and] fed by opportunistic motives. The designer also posted on Instagram, “My team is committed to investigating these claims and I promise to remain fair and transparent throughout the process.”
Bloom said Wang’s denial is expected. “I think it’s a shame when you come out of the gate and call people liars, especially when there are some people making similar allegations,” Bloom added. “I will also say that I think his very aggressive denial of calling people ‘liars’ tends to bring other people out to support the early prosecutors.”
Bloom represented the women who accused Bill Cosby, Bill O’Reilly, and Jeffrey Epstein of sexual harassment and abuse, and also served as legal counsel to Harvey Weinstein in 2017.
