Kate Upton Joins #MeToo Movement, Goes After Guess
- 6 years ago
Kate Upton has joined the Me Too campaign and set her sights on a fashion icon.
The 25 year old supermodel tweeted a message aimed at Guess co-founder Paul Marciano, suggesting that he sexually harassed women in the industry.
She wrote that it’s disappointing that such an iconic women’s brand like Guess is still empowering Paul as their creative director. Then she added the Me Too hashtag.
But she didn’t stop there. She later posted a screenshot of her Tweet on Instagram with the caption: He shouldn’t be allowed to use his power in the industry to sexually and emotionally harass women.
Upton modeled for Guess back in 2010 and 2011 for at least four of their campaigns.
Guess has not issued a response to Upton’s claim, but it certainly raised a lot of eyebrows now that she put that out there.
It’s important to note that Kate did not say he harassed or assaulted her, but her use of the Me Too hashtag is very telling.
The Me Too hashtag went viral after Alyssa Milano asked others to write “me too” if they have been sexually harassed or assaulted.
