Frédéric Fekkai faces lawsuit over alleged grooming of Epstein victims

Celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai is facing a new lawsuit involving allegations of grooming young women at the direction of the late Jeffrey Epstein. According to court documents, seven alleged victims claim they were sent to Fekkai’s salon for services dictated by Epstein to make them appear as young as possible. The complaint further alleges that Epstein instructed Fekkai to bleach some victims' hair blond and style them ‘like dolls’ to suit his preferences.

The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages under the Gender-Motivated Violence Act. The legal action follows comments by Representative Thomas Massie, who stated that Fekkai should be investigated and prosecuted for his alleged dealings with Epstein. Massie is also collecting signatures for a petition to mandate a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II to increase public access to records related to the financier.

Flight logs from Epstein’s private plane indicate that Fekkai traveled on the aircraft at least twice, in 2000 and 2002. Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges; his death was ruled a suicide.
