After a woman who worked as his stylist made a public accusation of alleged sexual harassment, Axel decided to break the silence and give his version of the events. The singer categorically denied having inappropriate behavior and linked the conflict to a financial claim that, he stated, began after their working relationship ended.
The musician spoke privately with journalist Pilar Smith, who revealed some details of the conversation on LAM. According to her, the artist appeared affected by the situation and claimed he had known Griselda, the woman who made the accusation, for many years.
“He is very sad, very sad because he says he has known Griselda since she was a teenager, that he met her husband, that they went to his shows together, that he saw her baby grow up, that later she separated, that she went through very difficult situations and he supported her at all times,” Smith recounted about what the singer expressed.
“We worked together for 10 months and then a financial difference arose with the person on my team who handled those payments. She said she was owed money and my team told me otherwise. I was completely unaware of that discussion,” the singer stated, according to the journalist.
According to his account, he later received a formal letter and the conflict reached a mediation stage.
