Lawsuit against Frédéric Fekkai regarding Epstein connection

Celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai is facing legal action in the New York Supreme Court involving allegations of assisting Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network. Seven women, including identified plaintiffs and several using pseudonyms, have filed a lawsuit alleging that Fekkai and an employee, Patrick Coombs, facilitated Epstein’s operations by styling women according to specific directives intended to make them appear younger.

The plaintiffs claim Epstein instructed Fekkai to bleach hair and style victims ‘like dolls’ to suit his preferences. One plaintiff alleged that in 2004, Fekkai refused a requested haircut, stating, ‘That is not the instructions I was given,’ and instead provided a style preferred by Epstein. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages under the Gender-Motivated Violence Act.

Fekkai’s legal counsel and spokesperson have denied the allegations, calling them false and asserting that Fekkai had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. Court documents and Department of Justice records indicate that Epstein spent tens of thousands of dollars at Fekkai’s salons and that Fekkai traveled on Epstein’s private aircraft at least twice between 2000 and 2002.
