Mohamed Al-Fayed’s Son is ‘Horrified’ by the Harassment claims Against His Father

Manar Eissa

Omar Al-Fayed, the son of Mohamed Al-Fayed, has expressed his deep distress and shock following a wave of claims accusing his father of sexual harassment, including rape and sexual assault. According to BBC, these claims have come to light after more than 60 women have reportedly accused Mohamed Al-Fayed, the former owner of Harrods and Ritz Paris. Fayed passed away last year at the age of 94, leaving behind a complex legacy that now faces a troubling chapter. 

In a statement reported by Sky News, Omar Al-Fayed spoke out about the allegations, admitting that he is “horrified” by the revelations. He said that these claims have “thrown into question the loving memory I had of him,” referring to the father he knew and cherished. These accusations have cast a shadow over the public perception of Mohamed Al-Fayed, long known for his wealth, influence, and prominent role in British business circles.

A Legacy Under Scrutiny

Mohamed Al-Fayed’s life and career were characterized by huge success and controversy. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Al-Fayed built a vast business empire, rising to prominence as the owner of the iconic Harrods department store in London. His business includes several industries, from luxury retail to real estate. He was also known for his close connection to the British royal family and his advocacy for investigations into the death of his son, Dodi Al-Fayed, who perished in the infamous car crash alongside Princess Diana in 1997.

However, this legacy of affluence and power is now being overshadowed by disturbing accusations. British and French prosecutors are being urged to investigate these claims of sexual assault and harassment, further deepening the scrutiny on Mohamed Al-Fayed’s personal and professional history.

Support for Investigation

Despite allegations, Omar Al-Fayed has been clear about his stance on accountability. In his statement, he expressed support for any “legitimate investigation” into the allegations against his father. “I will continue to support the principles of truth, justice, accountability, and fairness, regardless of where that journey may lead,” he added, signaling his commitment to addressing the issue head-on, even if it leads to difficult revelations about his father.
