John Casablancas was pals with trump and epstein

At age 42, while married to model Jeanette Christiansen, Casablancas began dating 14-year-old Stephanie Seymour. At age 50, Casablancas married his third wife, 17-year-old Aline Mendonça de Carvalho Wermelinger. In 2002, Casablancas was accused of sexual assault of a minor in a lawsuit by a former model.

Casablancas was friends with future U.S. president Donald Trump, representing Trump's daughter Ivanka when she became a fashion model at age 15. After he died in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil in 2013 at age 70, The Guardian published an obituary stating, "Casablancas was frank about his personal preference for girls of only just legal age – 'child women'." In 2020, The Guardian reported that he was connected to Jeffrey Epstein. According to a 2019 lawsuit, Casablancas sent a 15-year-old female model to meet a photographer later identified as Epstein, who sexually assaulted her.

Modeling Agency Link: Casablancas, as the founder of Elite Model Management, is often mentioned in connection with the modeling industry's role in supplying young women for Epstein, alongside Jean-Luc Brunel.
