Bravo Star Adela King Claims Ghislaine Maxwell Recruited Her For Threesome With Jeffrey Epstein By Faking Victoria's Secret Casting
July 8 2021, Published 1:10 p.m. ET
Ladies of London star Adela King is recalling the scary moment she found herself topless and alone in a room with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
King recently addressed the alleged incident -- which she says occurred more than two decades ago -- claiming it was all set up by Epstein's right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Speaking to Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef, the Bravo personality says she was "very lucky to get away” after being lured into a hotel room with Epstein at only 20 years old.
King claims she went to Epstein's suite under false pretenses. According to the Ladies of London star, Maxwell claimed she was recruiting models for a campaign with Victoria's Secret.
Maxwell allegedly approached King at a party, gave her a business card, and told her to go to a ritzy hotel. She also instructed her to "ask for Jeff, Mr. Jeffrey Epstein."
According to King, two women fell out of Epstein's suite as she walked down the hallway. Looking back, she says she's sure one of those ladies was Maxwell.
King recalls entering the hotel room and giving Epstein her portfolio.
She claims he then instructed her to take off her top.
"And then he said, 'and bend forward and push your breasts together,'" King alleges.
Saying she felt "uncomfortable" and that the situation "didn't feel right," King obliged thinking she was auditioning to be a Victoria's Secret model.
"He was like, just sort of like staring at me. So I was like, okay, I am not really sure what's happening here. It was very uncomfortable. The whole thing, it was just kind of like, it was very, it just wasn't, it just didn't feel right," King reveals on the podcast.
Claiming she walked out after that before anything else escalated, King says she ran into Maxwell two nights after the alleged incident with Epstein.
The two shared a table for a private dinner with about 30 guests in total and Maxwell reportedly recognized King right away.
"Once she saw me there, she couldn't look at me. She was literally mortified," the Bravo star says.

Epstein died in a New York city jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his sex-trafficking trial.
New York's chef medical examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging, something that would later be disputed by the former business mogul's attorneys.
As for Maxwell, she's currently in jail waiting for her own sex-trafficking trial to start.
