John Casablancas, Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald Trump
John Casablancas is credited with having created the supermodel. Casablancas was reported to have urged female models to use drugs and enjoy the nightlife. He personally interviewed most of the models in his Elite Modeling Agency, which became the world’s top modeling agency. Casablancas co-owned Elite with two other men, Alain Kittler and Gérald Marie. Elite recruited not only young women, but also girls from their mid-teens onward. One of the perks the owners chose for themselves was the right to sleep with any willing models, regardless of their age.
“We are men, we have our needs! “— Gerald Marie
All three owned summer homes on the island of Ibiza. The three were meeting with two top female executives of Elite, Lisa Herzog and Trudi Tapscott. The women pleaded with the three to stop sleeping with underage girls. Gerald Marie said, “We are men, we have our needs! John Casablancas dismissed the women. “C’mon, Trudi, Lisa, relax.” Marie added, “Go screw yourselves, run your own life.” Another company employee present, Marie Anderson Boyd, witnessed that exchange and soon left Elite.
