The exposure of Harvey Weinstein opened Pandora's box, from which the confessions of celebrities who were confronted with sexual harassment continue to pour. In this exclusively female list of victims one of these days there was also a man's name. "Hercules" Kevin Sorbo said about the harassment of fashion designer Gianni Versace.
Unexpected Recognition
Becoming the hero of the show The Adam Carolla Show, 59-year-old Kevin Sorbo, who for many became the embodiment of masculinity, starred in the popular series of the 90's "Amazing Wanderings of Hercules," claims that in the 80 years, working as a model, he was sexually abused from the side of the legendary Italian couturier Gianni Versace.
According to the actor, the designer wanted to be close to him in exchange for cooperation with Versace, namely shooting in commercials. Realizing the intentions of Gianni, Kevin refused.
Famous boyfriend and a tempting offer
Sorbo said that Versace had paid attention to him because of his tall growth, which is over 1.90 cm, and the brutality that was blowing from him. The fashion designer began to invite the young man he liked to the star parties, which shone with Sophia Loren, Luciano Pavarotti, Richard Gere. Then the parties became more private. The series of unobtrusive encounters between the two men ended in a one-on-one meeting.
During this dinner, Gianni supposedly offered Kevin a love affair in exchange for a brilliant modeling career. Telling the mannequin of his plans for him, he stroked Sorbo on the leg, heading for the groin.
Kevin explained to his influential patron that he is straight, so he can not reciprocate. Then (from the memories of the actor), the fashion designer persistently persuaded him that in this life it is necessary to try different love.
