It was one of the coolest places to go shopping for clothes, 30 years ago. Even better was the prospect of becoming an Abercrombie & Fitch model.
Times have changed, the brand has suffered, and now a two-year BBC investigation found allegations of exploitation at sex parties thrown by Abercrombie’s former CEO and his British life partner.
Mike Jeffries, now 79, was the CEO from the 1990s to 2014. Neither he nor partner Matthew Smith, now 60, would speak to the BBC, and that alleged middleman denied doing anything wrong, saying the men who attended showed up “with their eyes wide open.” Outside of business, from 2009 to 2015, he hosted events at his New York home and luxurious hotels in places like London, Paris, Venice, and Marrakesh.Alleged victims said the middleman had “a missing nose covered with a snakeskin patch. The BBC has identified him as James Jacobson.”
Half “alleged they had been initially misled about the nature of the events or not told sex was involved. Others said they understood the events would be sexual, but not exactly what was expected of them. All were paid.”
