Karen Mulder abuse allegations resurface
Overview
Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder has resurfaced in the public eye after a roughly 20-year absence, using recent interviews with Vogue Germany to address allegations of abuse and professional misconduct from decades ago.
Mulder revisited an incident from 2001 involving the French television program ‘Tout le monde en parle’. She alleged that during a broadcast intended to discuss abuse, drugs, and career pressures, she was subjected to silencing tactics. Mulder claims she was “locked away” and “silenced” following the appearance, stating she was “forced to say I had made it all up” regarding her claims of rape and exploitation by high-profile figures, including modeling executives, politicians, and royalty.
While contemporary reports at the time described her as having a breakdown, Mulder maintains she was admitted to a private psychiatric clinic in Paris for nearly five months as a result of the situation. Her recent statements coincide with new 2026 allegations involving human trafficking and sexual assault within the industry.
