Kate Upton accuses Guess co-founder Paul Marciano of sexually harassing women

Kate Upton called out Guess for continuing to employ a creative director who allegedly used his power to harass women.

"It's disappointing that such an iconic women's brand @GUESS is still empowering Paul Marciano as their creative director #metoo," Upton claimed on Twitter Wednesday night.

She followed up her comments on Instagram by explaining that Marciano, who co-founded Guess, "shouldn't be allowed to use his power in the industry to sexually and emotionally harass women."

Marciano, 66, founded Guess Jeans in 1981 before selling half of the company two years later. In 2015, he reportedly stepped down as CEO and became executive chairman and chief creative officer.

Upton, 25, has starred in a number of Guess advertisements.

She did not specify in her posts if Marciano ever behaved inappropriately with her.

Marciano attended an event for Guess' Spring '18 line in New York City on Wednesday along with Jennifer Lopez, who stars in the Marciano line's upcoming campaigns.

Guess did not immediately respond to a Daily News request for comment.
