New allegations of sexual assault against Guess co-founder Paul Marciano came to light at a press conference during which accused women spoke out about the case.
Represented by lawyer Lisa Bloom, four women who work as models, including Amanda Rodriguez, spoke last week about their personal experiences with Marciano, one of two brothers who founded the American brand.
In the interview Lisa Bloom said: "I know of no other company with this number of allegations against a prominent executive of serious sexual harassment and sexual assault that continues to employ him."

The company has faced increasing pressure from the public and its shareholders to reconsider Marciano's position, following a series of sexual assault allegations dating back to 1994. Supermodel Kate Upton also appeared in 2018 alongside several other women and detailed their own experiences with the fashion mogul.
Following the furore, Marciano stepped down as CEO, but the brand and the American fashion designer have continued to deny all allegations. The company reinstated Marciano as chief creative officer just a year later.

Now, the string of new charges could force the company to reevaluate its decision, as it continues to conduct an internal investigation following the launch of an activist campaign against sexual harassment and violence by one of its key shareholders who called for the removal of both Paul and Maurice Marciano.
