Mohamed Al Fayed, former Harrods owner, faces numerous allegations of sexual misconduct from former employees. Catherine recounts being kissed and propositioned by Fayed, with her complaint being dismissed by her manager. The current owners of Harrods have acknowledged past failures and are addressing the claims.
Dozens of women, including a former Harrods employee named Catherine, have accused ex-Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed of inappropriate advances and sexual assault.
Catherine, 21 at the time, recounted an experience where Fayed kissed her and made uncomfortable advances.
Despite reporting to her manager, her complaint was dismissed.
The current Harrods owners have acknowledged the failure to protect victims and expressed their commitment to addressing these claims.
Lawyers state that the alleged misconduct occurred globally and involved at least 37 women, with over 150 complaints received so far.
This scandal highlights a culture of collusion and oversight at Harrods during Fayed's ownership from 1985 to 2010.
