AceShowbiz - Did Gigi and Bella Hadid's dad Mohamed use his daughters' fame to lure his victims? According to aspiring model Miranda Vee, who has filed a police report accusing Mohamed and Guess co-founder Paul Marciano of sexual assault, the 69-year-old real estate developer would boast about his supermodel daughters to lure young women into his bed.
Paul was allegedly the one who introduced Miranda to Mohamed. To Page Six, the model said she had felt safe going into a meeting with the billionaire father of Gigi Hadid and Bella. "I thought this is a father who must be respectful," she shared.
Detailing their meeting, Miranda said they met at an apartment on North Crescent in Los Angeles in March 2017, but when she arrived, Mohamed "had two glasses of champagne out. I sat on a couch facing him across the table. He said, 'Oh you're so far, why don't you sit closer?' "
She said she moved to sit at his side. After that, the two "were talking about my career, and he was talking about his daughters. Mohamed said he was headed to the airport to pick Gigi up, and that he was going to Paris with her."
Miranda claimed he added, " 'Maybe I can take you with me?' Then he started touching me, touching my leg and my face and he said I looked very pretty ... and very young." She said she started to feel woozy from the champagne, "We were drinking ... then he was eventually behind me in the bedroom."
She claimed they had unprotected sex even though she told him "no." And once the intercourse ended, Mohamed immediately left. According to Miranda, they later exchanged texts, but she never saw him again.
Other sources told Page Six that Mohamed "approaches young models over Instagram, sending them direct messages," introducing himself as "the father of Gigi and Bella." As evidence, the site pointed out to one 2016 private Instagram conversation allegedly between Mohamed and another model who asked not to be named.
After introducing himself with a profile picture of Gigi, Mohamed wrote, "I am the father of Gigi and Bella Hadid," adding, "You are the perfect example of a woman's body." He allegedly left his personal phone number, but it's unclear if they met up.
Miranda first made her claims against Mohamed and Paul on Instagram on February 1 in response to a post by Kate Upton. In her initial post, Miranda accused Mohamed of "date raping me." She has hired attorney Lisa Bloom and filed a police report Tuesday, February 13 in L.A. alleging that both Mohamed and Paul sexually assaulted her, according to the publication.
"She filed a police report alleging sexual assault against both [Paul and Mohamed at] the LAPD headquarters in downtown Los Angeles," Lisa confirmed, adding that the model's initial claim of rape against Mohamed changed to sexual assault and that it was an "umbrella term" she used to include "all types of non-consensual sexual misconduct. Miranda used her own words."
Mohamed has strongly denied Miranda's accusation. While at Anna Sui's show on Monday, he said of her claim, "It's dead. The story is gone, so it's just a false accusation." He continued, "I feel they are right [about #MeToo] and they should change the culture of any industry."
"I have four daughters, so I am very respectful toward women and I understand all this," he added, "but at the same time there are a lot of false accusations that are damaging to certain people. In general, I think that women should stand up and speak out."
"I'm not here to hurt anyone," Mohamed said, insisting that "it's a false accusation." He continued, "What do I get out of it? I don't think I can pursue it for financial gains. My name definitely will clear up. I have kids and I have grandkids and I want to make sure that they know that these are all false accusations."
"I'm not in the business of modeling. I'm not in the industry," he added. "I don't have anyone [models] to hire -- ladies -- so that's why I'm very upset with it. She [Miranda] kind of followed the #MeToo movement for a case that did not exist."
