Grace Coddington posts cosy photo of Bruce Weber amid sexual assault allegations

Vogue legend Grace Coddington has angered fans by posting a photo of herself posing with Bruce Weber amid claims he sexually harassed male models.
Model Jason Boyce is suing famed fashion photographer Weber for sexual assault, and in the lawsuit he filed earlier this month (01Dec17), he claims he was pressured by Weber to remove his clothes, rub his own genitals and then touch the photographer’s.
Another male model has also accused Weber of similar sexual harassment, but ignoring the legal case, American Vogue creative director at large Coddington defiantly added a photo of her and Weber to Instagram.
“Just got my signed copy of Bruce Weber’s latest edition of “All-American Glory Be”, particularly the last pages with Bruce’s beautiful tribute to Sam Shepard #bruceweber,” she captioned the image.
Despite the image garnering nearly 16,000 likes, others slammed the photo.
“Grace, please no!” one posted, while another said: “Not cool and not ok.”
A third wrote: “You’re an icon and I love you, but this is incredible (sic) poor form considering the recent allegations against him.”
Weber has not yet commented on the allegations.
Not long after the allegations were made public, Vanity Fair cancelled a planned party celebrating Weber’s new book All-American Volume XVII at Art Basel in Miami.
In Boyce’s lawsuit, in which he also names his agent Jason Kanner, who he says insisted he needed to “nail this” shoot to impress the respected snapper, the model says Weber forcefully kissed him.
He further states he suffered “humiliation, emotional anguish and lost economic opportunities” as a result of the photographer’s action.
