In a shocking turn of events, former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeff and his associate Matthew Smith have been arrested on serious charges, including coercing male models into non-consensual sexual acts under the influence of drugs. Allegations include creating a recruitment network that targeted young men aspiring for careers in modeling, leading them into exploitative situations while making false promises about opportunities.
Reports suggest that many victims, coerced through intimidation and kept under tight control during events, have come forward since the initial BBC exposé last year. Though Mike and Matthew have since posted bail, they face mounting legal pressure, with the U.S. Attorney urging more victims to testify against them.
Adding to the scandal, rumors indicate that Sean “Diddy” Combs may have been involved with these activities, drawing parallels to alleged misconduct in his own history, which has recently led to further lawsuits, some involving minors. As these high-profile cases unfold, many speculate that more powerful figures in the entertainment industry might soon face scrutiny.
