What sorry S/A is horrible what do you mean?
Exactly 💯 When he died the media put him in the back pages! Which seemed very odd considering his fame and known for taking on the establishment.. suddenly after he is dead and can't speak for himself they make these allegations.
You call him elite he was a foreigner non citizen he could have been denounced for assault but you allowed him to do all these things you allow his kind to but emblematic places like Harrods common people you allowed all of this
@ theancientsancients
See extensive Vanity Fair investigation decades ago. This is NOT NEW.
Fayed was enabled by his security, police and powerful others. The VF case was shut down after Dodi's death by Si Newhouse of Condé Nast.
So, no, this is not invented post facto; it's not opportunistic. There are HUGE archives documenting contem- poraneous accusations.
No victim blaming please.
??
let's ask Prince andrew if he has any insights on this.
Princess Di too!!!
good one. I d also watch that interview
Very nice of the BBC for the documentary on him they have had far worser predators in their camp.
After observing how the BBC let Savil get away with his crimes, whilst employed within the organisation; This topic should be viewed as Impartial.
He took on the establishment with plenty of money 💰 This stories would have been too convenient for them to jump on! But they didn't because they knew they would not stand a chance in a court of law! Now he is dead it's convenient
well said,
@@MJamilHoque and that’s why we’ve refused to pay tv licence since that was exposed. If they can’t catch pee’woes in their organisation they won’t catch me watching TV (that’s what we tell them when they come to the door!)
Funny how they only go after them when their dead
Yeah isn't it just
Yh when the guy is dead and he can't stand up for himself.....smell like lies to me 👀
Probably because people like him have such expensive lawyers and have so much power in so many ways, it would be disastrous to stand up to them. People 'only went after' Jimmy Savile after he was dead, yet their allegations have been proved beyond doubt to be true. Stop blaming the victims - it's disgusting.
He has a point though.
'Funny'?
Victim blaming is not good - regardless of your puerile views.
Be grateful it's not been your experience.
How about Lord Mountbatten?
Of Burma!? What did he do?

Look up Kincora boys home in Belfast. These poor kids were farmed out to the elites, locally and across to Scotland and England (Westminster). The poor victims and their families have fought tooth and nail for justice but all evidence has been locked away and won't be seen for another century. Why!????

How can you believe anything the BBC says??
Because it's highly improbable that everything they say is untrue.
Identifying one from the other is key.
They are there to be challenged, although they hardly have clean hands.
@russelljamesstevens
This is not the BBC making accusations.
The BBC is reporting allegations here.
Important to distinguish. Not to attack BBC for everything without evidence or discrimination.
Its a hitjob for acussing the royal family of the murder of Diana
@barbarajones9385
No, what is important is the BBC, have housed and courted every abuser at that corporation
The BBC are not to be trusted on any level, whether they are directly involved or reporting
They were all happy to report that he was a racist but not a predator
The only thing surprised me is that, this is only coming out now. It was not just him.
Beyond doubt he was a scoundrel as lots of questionably rich people, but something seems fishy!
I'm suspicious about the intentions of the establishment ...
What does that even mean?
Fayed was the establishment, you bell.
@@mintywebbI am asking the same question. On what grounds suspicious about the intentions of the establishment ?
The establishment was opposed to Fayed. Remember dodo and Diana?
@@carlitox4721 Don't expect dodo's (sic) to remember anything beyond their nose!
A 15 year old girl made a police complaint years ago, she is the only one I've read about, a brave girl in that time. She is courageous for exposing back then when he was alive. Now he's dead and its come out, everyone on the gravy train. A lot witnessed it and did nothing.
Clearly you don’t understand this kind of trauma. It’s much easier to be open about it once your attacker’s passed away. It certainly was for me, and I didn’t even have any chance of financial benefits from opening up about it.
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporatedWe’re talking about hundreds of women here. There’s no excuse for those around him to keep quiet. It’s not just about the victims. If he was such a monster, others would have known
@@josemadrid2913 🥱 so willing to make excuses for monsters.
@DissociatedWomenIncorporated There are a great many sudden interested users (called John, Dave etc) on this video, pushing the 'why didn't they simply speak at the time?' and 'they're just after money' narratives. You are right to point out the gaping holes in their ability to understand this type of trauma, but I doubt they'll be made less ignorant by it, more's the pity.
Women went police and police did nothing Vanity Fabre were sued for writing about him Dispatches did a documentary about him
Concealing or destroying evidence of crimes is in itself illegal. Vanity Fair's publisher should be in the dock.
Isn't he the Dad of Dodi Al Fayed the boyfriend of Princess Diana? And didn't he accuse the Royals of being complicit in the death of Diana and his son? Didn't he push for more transparency about the crash and the deaths of his son and Diana? The Royals were very, very unhappy with him
He had particular animosity against the Queens husband ,Prince Philip .

But had info on price andrew so they protected him.
Here comes the Huw Edwards distraction!!
Distraction?
How old are you that you can only think about 1 thing at a time?
@RankinMsP it's a gift for the BBC.a distraction from Edwards.
Yeah. Why didn’t it come out when the Me Two movement came out. Looks suspicious.
More like the ongoing Epstein/Mossad cover-up….
@viscount
Read deeper, read wider. It DID come out. It WAS QUASHED by establishment.
The guy was a non-stop predator of young women.
The main reason people like this can do this and get away with it, is because of their wealth. I say no one should be this wealthy ,because they have too much power. Tax them out of power.
I think back in the 80s the government didn’t want him to acquire House Of Fraser( back then Harrods was a House Of Fraser).
In the US Al Fayed would be a presidential candidate.
Or an actual president like Biden

Time and time again, nothing will change. No ‘lessons’ will be learnt. The system is designed to protect these people while they are free to commit these sick crimes
It’s amazing nobody knew! Politicians, Royals, celebrities…If they did know, for sure they would have acted. No? No.
Find it strange that after all these years this is suddenly mainstream news now, considering everything else that is going on in the world.. Distraction me thinks
every time major corruption takes years to reach main stream media it doesn’t mean it’s a distraction, this happens all the time because the mainstream media always covers up corruption for as long as it’s asked too.
I smell something fishy with these accusations.
Interesting how some men will automatically believe one man rather than 57 women and all the other evidence- did you not watch this video? Henry Porter talks about their research in 1997! And how frightened witnesses and girls were.
@@hs964 on the contrary I believe the women, the question is why is there this concerted effort now. This is well organised, coordinated, I work in media and there are hallmarks of a PR agency involved, and the media are all of a sudden giving it the time of the day when these accusations have been known for years and previously they didn't give a sh!t. Something is off here.
@@paulbo9033because they would have been sued for libel while he was alive.
@paulbo9033 these women are paid millions in bucks for for speaking potential lies.
Believe victims. Let's hope you never get called a liar after being sexual abused.
As long as women need jobs to financially support themselves and their families, these predators will stay in business. They’ll just get more cunning.
Interesting timing of this story also the fact store is Qatar owned nowadays
Explain yourself?.
And I’m sure they find attractive as in store in many ways 😎
Agreed
Cor, no wonder he was keen to hang out with the royals
If you remember he and the Royals really did not get on. Lady Di loosing her life in the car crash with his son didn’t help.
@@davecooper3238 his abuse started long before Diana.
Why These things only pop up when the culprtis kick the bucketo???
Litigation. If an individual made these allegations against someone with far more money and influence than they have, they would likely be financially ruined by legal costs and unlikely to win. Also, after having experienced sexual assault or worse, seeing the assailant and his lawyer calling his accusers liars and opportunists would probably compound the initial trauma.
Condo Naste burying the story in the 90s though seems inexcusable as magazine publishers pre-internet were making fortunes.
Billionaires have power and threat
Because murder is so far illegal.
The problem in a lot of workplaces is that unexceptable behaviour is tolerated because it keeps people in a job. If you speak up, you may get sacked, and no one will employ you.
How can they sue a dead man? Harrods was sold. And why after all this time?
The UK the legal system is based on the rule: innocent until proven guilty. Seeing as Fayed is dead and cannot defend himself/have legal representation, it's the usual tabloid sensationalism to generate clicks/sell papers... and of course lawyers getting rich representing the alleged victims!
Exactly…something is off about this…
@@nishaismailFor some reason Harrods has set up a compensation scheme. There is money to be had.
I knew this was BS as soon as this news came up.
They just want his money.
@@scarlettkhan9667 , Why did they carry on working there. and keep going back for more. If some were graped why didn't they take their things , leave and go to the nearest Police station report and demand a DNA test..
It should be illeģal to adhere to Non-disclosure agreements if they are covering up a crime!! What kind of BS is this? How can a NDA be valid if it's concealing a crime?
Nigel Farage to boycott Harrods, says he will get shit-faced at Aldi....................Tommy Robinson choosing to get his wiper blades changed elsewhere.
I never understand these kind of posts. What point are you trying to make? It just seems so random.
@@poyzer Harrods/Halfords
Ahahah makes sense.
I have no reason to doubt the veracity of these poor victims. I just wish they had been able to get justice while their abuser was still living. We have to find a way for victims to recognise and report patterns of abuse early. It is heartbreaking that so many victims feel powerless.
As Ian Hislop repeatedly pointed out, Fayed is not entitled to to honorific "Al". He's just Mohammed Fayed.
Bruh, Al-Fayed is an honorific. 'Al' just means 'The'. Al-Fayed would be 'The Winner'
Is this because Andrew is in the news again?
Apart from the medical examinations, this story could be repeated for many businesses and owners. The difference here appears to be the opportunity for a newsworthy story and money.
Fayed was well connected and wealthy. The threat of never working in London again probably wasn't an idle threat.
Was something left out of the report because this issue is commonplace due to shame and embarrassment that it goes unreported.
Absolutely. It's so common especially in the 80s 90s that it was just taken as a given in many areas ..music art fashion...I guess also department stores... it surprises me that people act surprised about things like this. Does nobody remember the 90s?
Truly? Commonplace sexual abuse bloody hell, I worked at the time, girls you should have told us, there would have been a lot of punched faces. It’s good to talk 😎
@@wmorris189 👍
And again everybody knew but nobody knew.
Listen trying to compare this guy to Saville is a joke cut the shit and do some research...
Years ago i heard what he was like as my friends daughter worked there and told us exactly these sorts of things....if he had his eye on you watch out....it was well known.
He had his eyes on me and I didn’t even get a pay rise! 😢
Didnt saville abuse disabled kids that were in hospital care ...i dont know how anyone could be worse than that....hope they all pay in hell for their crimes
So how is he going to be punished?
Nothing happens when they are alive… Jimmi, Andy, Dodi’s dad.
Huw about changing that now?
Isn't it weird when nothing was said when he was alive! Now he's dead and cannot defend himself, all these
First of all, something was said while he was alive. Vanity Fair wrote a whole article about the sexual assault allegations. More wasn't said for reasons perfectly explained in the video: Al Fayed intimidated everyone into silence, with lawsuits and threats against the victims and their family members.
Billionaire power and threat
Something not very surprising about this.
Good grief. I’m shocked by this- he had such an honest upstanding vibe about him.
Don't they all.
Are the royals implicated in suppressing this?
The royals don't like him much they assassinated his son for pursuing Diana.
They would be sweating...if they could.
God save the King.
@Abbale that's not even a joke
they suppressed Meghan being an escort
Don't believe this at all... BS
What is wrong with you he was a monster out and out
BBC investigation 😂😂😂
Hmm maybe they are onto another project .
😂😂😂 cracked me up as well
Disgusting but not on par with epstien or saville at any level
Agreed. The victimisation of children is different.
You know nothing about this case, nor have you read the statements of the victims. Come back to us when you have done so.
Savile.... Not Saville....
...Or Diddy Comb if he is found guilty.
I’m sorry, but you know this because???.
HRH not named. Curious that the Firm worked so hard to reject him from their inner circle. He would have fit right in
Interesting that compensation seeking high profile lawyers are dealing with this and not the police???
You know how these things go, the only way women can get justice is by pursuing these kinds of suits.
Since when did we start trusting the police?
@TheYopogo what bullshit
Exactly, very fishy.
He must have a lot of money, gold, stocks, property and opportunists want it.
Literally feel like they are after his inheritance why don’t go to the police rather than doing a press conference
Police rape conviction rates against establishment/ rich/ powerful perps?
Yeah, that'll be why... civil courts it is then. Simples.
A bit like the royal family in that case? Philip/Mountbatten/Andrew/Charles...!
Why are we talking about this now ? he is six feet under now.
I'd say Philip Green is next
Who's that and why?
No surprise. He probably thought HE could get his hands on Diana.
I remember my brother worked in a Harrods on a concession.
He said Al-Fayed was slimy and disgusting, especially around young, blonde, females.
No in the least but surprised.
How can a dead man be prosecuted He cannot defend himsrlf
They will go after the estate
They after his wealth
Ask how many of these women actually filed cases. They often say hundreds and then when it's done and dusted about 4 filed. I find that puzzling. Oh by the way..I don't want an explanation for this. The extensive research is out there. Many complaints/ allegations are just that.
@@hasan1980hb🙄
@@daizeedee12021 is too many
It's about burden of proof.
Because something happened doesn't mean it can be proved.
Burden of proof is important in criminal and civil cases.
But then you knew that from the 'intelligent comment' you typed 😐
wow the comment section here is sheer cesspit,no wonder it takes so long for women to come forward especially before the Metoo.Women have stayed silent for far far too long...and yes men too in some cases
I know, some of these comments are really disgusting.
@@abandonstrings they become e disgusting when they are faced with lies like these.
BBC a trustworthy news site that is not at all in the palace's influence.
Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like people have waited till he died to go through civil court and not have to go through a criminal case to potentially make a lot of money
This is stinking curruption
Diana should be glad she didn’t live long enough to marry Dodi. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Looks like they finally got him back
I know these are allegations , but isn’t it interesting how many are of these scum are loaded with billions. They say money talks, hopefully justice will be delivered by a higher judge after his life . The justice in this world is for people with money only.
It's not just powerful men. The poor woman in France and her case against her village, essentially. It's men.
All men?
Not all but far too many. Power goes to people's heads. The more powerful, the easier to corrupt. Most men would cheat if they could get away with it. What does that tell you ? Give those men the power to get away with it and bam, you've got predators.
It happens with women as well, its just not as prevalent because women think and feel differently than men do.
@@tefilobragaSome men.

@@laurenpaterson3475 How many others have to die before the truth is known? Can you see past your nose? Stick to knitting and kittens!
Its absurd to just make a statement about a dead person and then expect us to believe all that is true.....its imperative to actually reveal how long these women worked for him after these alleged harrasments took place so that we can judge their intentions as they are speaking so long after the fact.

I’m so glad they humanized him in the Crown…
I worked in Harrods in 86/87 in the perfume hall and later in the fashion jewellery department, it was common knowledge that Al Fayed would walk the store picking out girls that he liked.

They didn’t give Al Fayed “national treasure” status. You’re forgetting that he’s Muslim, and has a tiny bit of melanin.
He is not here to defend himself.
Why make accusations when someone is deceased
Accusations and reports were made to the MET from 2005.
What about prince Philip's 😂😂😂😂
Channel 4 Dispatches covered this 6 years ago.
Power and money influence, an influential friends, nothing more, nothing less corruption
Need to look at the widespread use of NDAs to escape justice.
Great timing.
Goodness me, where were those "poor victims" until now??? 😂
Don't know if this story is true and on the surface it sounds legit, but it also sounds like a convenient deflection by the BBC.
I think the BBC should be the one being sued for being silent on this, for whatever reason.
Naa, this goes through the lot...all other media outlets to...then the facilitators.
Harrods should be declared a mass-crime zone.
But then again, so should the Met - after Wayne Cousins...
This is a state in a place of disintegration.
Powerful men at the top of businesses are still at it now. It is part of their power and toxic masculinity.
🎯 Time for a change ! 🙏
ALL THIS TIME JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED
The police are complicit !
she does not sound convincing reading from text prepared by lawyers.
The comment section full of men disregarding the fact that these women came forward well before he died. Gross!
A lot of lies here.
Why didn't they come out when he was still alive? Now he's gone he can't defend himself
A BBC documentary?! Wow! Baby, I am sold!
Why now?! Why not making such revelations when he was shouting the death of Princess Diana was a conspiracy? Which, it was!

Settlements are owing to the victims from his estate.
They have been trying to be heard for years. But now Fayed is dead he no longer needs to be protected by the powerful...same thing as Saville
tarnish the legacy sorta thing then also the Qatar ownership with current things
Since Fayed wasn't physic, Porter could have handed over his evidence to Scotland Yard without the prospect of an advance lawsuit...
As a young woman, I was sexually harrassed. No one does anything about it. Remember going to Human Resources. What a joke! Didn't realize they were there to protect the company/men. It was not the only time or person or workplace. If I can say this, it means it is and was rampant.
Lawyers make the money, weird they had to make comparisons never heard that before. Why not deal with the case in hand? Also if you couldn't come forward before anonymously even then howcome they managed to do a press conference now?
They never forgave! I opine that this is getback for the lady Diana thing... He cannot tell his side. Shame.
Time shall tell.
It’s a bit late now as he’s been brown bread for ages .
Exactly why did it take so long and how long was she working for him before this
she was getting designer freebies
Why now after his death? Why was she quiet about it for so many years? I don't believe a word they say.
