CNN: Epstein Victims Sue Celebrity Stylist Frédéric Fekkai, Allege They Were ‘Groomed Like Dolls’ to His Liking

EXCERPT:

LEE: "Well, as you know, Pam, Frédéric Fekkai is a huge name in the world of hair and beauty. And in a new lawsuit, there are seven Epstein survivors who are accusing Fekkai and his salon of having enabled Epstein over the years of the abuse. This is some of the language from that new lawsuit, which comes from five Jane Does and two named survivors. They say, 'Fekkai groomed the victims to look as young as possible under Epstein‘s direction. Epstein would directFekkai to bleach victims blond and groom them like dolls into Epstein‘s and others' liking.' Now, we were able to speak exclusively with two of the Jane Doe plaintiffs about what they experienced. These details, we should note, are not in the lawsuit. The first Jane Doe, she says that she was around 19 when Epstein sent her to Fekkai's salon in Manhattan, and she told the stylist that she was meeting with that she wanted to cut her hair to shoulder length. And what the stylist told her was, 'Those aren‘t the instructions that I got,' which is, of course, very unusual. The second Jane Doe says that she was around 20 when she was in Saint-Tropez with Epstein, and Epstein walks her over to Fekkai and basically asked Fekkai, 'How can we make this young woman look even younger?' Now, back in New York City, she gets sent to Fekkai's salon, just like that first woman, and the stylist cuts her hair, but she says, 'He had instructions, and that‘s all,' meaning he never even consulted her about what she wanted. It was clear that he was already told beforehand how exactly she should look. Now, Fekkai, we should note, is vehemently denying all of these allegations from the lawsuit and these anecdotes that we got from the two Jane Does.”
