New allegations of sexual misconduct have surfaced at Victoria’s Secret as the brand tries to remake its image after years of scandal and slumping sales. Wexner has since expressed regret over his association with Epstein, who in years past had served as his money manager. Last July, L Brands said it hired an external law firm to investigate any ties between the company and Epstein. Wexner’s relationship with him ended 13 years ago, and the company doesn’t believe Epstein was ever formally employed by Victoria’s Secret. In August, more than 100 models including Christy Turlington Burns and Edie Campbell signed an open letter to Victoria’s Secret CEO John Mehas calling for him to protect models against sexual harassment and assault.
