Kate Upton is speaking out about her own #MeToo experience — and calling out fashion giant Guess’ co-founder Paul Marciano in the process.
“It’s disappointing that such an iconic women’s brand @GUESS is still empowering Paul Marciano as their creative director #metoo,” the Sports Illustrated cover girl tweeted Wednesday, the same night the designer hosted a collection launch with Jennifer Lopez.

She then wrote on Instagram, “He shouldn’t be allowed to use his power in the industry to sexually and emotionally harass women #metoo.”
When TMZ cameras later caught up with Upton, 25, she told them, “I’m excited to tell my whole story, but a walk to the car isn’t gonna cover it … I think a lot of people around [people in power] know about it and need to speak out.”
Upton was featured in a 2011 campaign for the brand.
Marciano denied any wrongdoing, telling TMZ on Thursday, “If she has a claim, there’s one place to tell the truth and that’s in court or to the police.” He added that the brand ended its relationship with the model after she began showing up to sets “looking terrible.”
Lopez, who celebrated her Spring 2018 collaboration with Marciano on Wednesday night, told Page Six in a statement on Thursday that, “My position on these issues is well known, as I have been very vocal about them. I do not condone any acts of sexual harassment, violation, or misconduct. Any accusations should be fully and thoroughly investigated. I will continue to support our rights as women.”
