A dozen men who worked for Mohamed Al Fayed have made claims of abuse against the disgraced former Harrods boss.
The men have alleged harassment, bullying and homophobic abuse by Fayed, with some claiming they suffered PTSD and recurring trauma from their experiences.
The claims of more than 420 women of rape or sexual abuse by the former boss are being dealt with by the Justice for Harrods Survivors group.
Speaking of the men who made claims against the businessman, a source told The Sun: ‘A lot of them have given similar accounts of being bullied, demeaned and being unfairly dismissed or demoted because of Fayed.
‘They often had to leave after speaking up.’
Fayed, who died in 2023 aged 94, was exposed as a sexual abuser in September. Harrods has sincerely apologised to all victims.
The Metropolitan Police is investigating 60 sex abuse reports and Surrey officers are probing one alleged attack.

Many of Fayed’s offences were first detailed in an unauthorised 1998 biography by journalist Tom Bower.
But more sickening crimes came to light following a BBC documentary in which more than 20 former Harrods’ staff accused Fayed of sexual assault, including rape.
Harrods, which is now owned by Qatar, said they are ‘utterly appalled’ by the allegations and have ‘sincerely’ apologised to his victims.
MailOnline has contacted Harrods for comment.
