Witness Claims Designer Has Been Framed!

61. I knew Anand for at least three years. I remember a couple of years ago calling me every day. He asked me to bring Michelle Rodriguez to him. Poor guy didn't know any of these celebrities. The fact that he's friends with them is not true. Anyone can pose with celebrities and pretend that they are friends. In Hollywood it is very likely that people do that.

I went to his apartment and he did abuse women. I knew some of them. This guy is so sick that he would fly to Texas and brainwash these girls--promise them the glory and he'll bring the girls to Los Angeles. Several times he told me to stay out of those girls because he said, "Those are my bitches. I pay the roof, food and I am paying their way. Just stay away from them." I remember the day he snapped at me for talking to a 15 year old at his apartment. I asked her what she was doing at his house and the guy went balistic on me. He told me to mind my own business.

They should be looking into the girl from Seattle, Washington. I am sure they haven't her yet. If someone in his camp is reading this, they will know what I am talking about. This guy is a sick as a cancer patient and needs to be put in jail for a long time.

62. For people in or familiar with his camp, did you party at the Standard Hotel on Sunset last New Years Eve? Something that can be correlated with what happened.

63. I graduated with Anand from Parsons ('96) and hung out with him on a
couple occasions and he was the biggest gentleman i've ever encountered.
It seems that this industry is especially cut throat and unfortunately
those who don't get chosen have to attack the source. I bet the hussy accusers will
get media attention after they go to court. Anand, hang in there. Thanks for
taking me out to dinner and giving me a tour of your studio. It's a shame
people are taking advantage of your status.

65. Anand is a 5'4" non celeb who is very rude and condesending. You really believe women are desperate enough to voluntarily sleep with him? he plays mind games with lots of girls who are minors. that's illegal. Guys like him are wh they created shows like "Peverted Justice" on Dateline NBC. Those guys swear they are not rapist. But they are. They like Anand try to manipulate these young impressionable girls which is sick!!!!

Again this is the SECOND time he will be going to trial for offenses such as this. To blame the girls and not look at his conduct is mean.

To imply he is being targeted because of "celebrity or money" is even DUMBER/ You'd have to really think people are ridiculously naive to believe in a place like BeverlyHills which is crawling with "REAL STARS" noone else besides big stars such as "Michael Jackson ,Kobey and Mike Tyson" have EVER been charged with rape. In other words 12 girls going after false charges usually would do it to go after "THE MONEY or REAL FAME. Anand has none of that so nothing would be gained with false charges.Absolute peanuts.

Therefore allegations are probably true. Again this is the SECOND time he will be brought to trial for the same offense. Sort of a very big coincidense, don't you think? The guy is a PERV and his friends are just doing what tons of others have done before him . When there is a trial whether for murder or rape there can be tons of DNA evidence, but you see family and friends stand by the accused and make up a million and one reasons why he is being wrongly attacked. The guy who butchered his victims to death is usually described as "nice and kind" "Would'nt hurt a fly" by members of his family and friends who rarely get to see his devient side.

Even Anands family and friends must be a bit suspicious as they left his peverted ass in jail for 1 month because he was too poor to afford the 10% of the $130,000 bail. Which is $13,000. What a joke of a clebrity he is. He'll be one of those homeless guys begging in front of "THE Coffee Bean" or The Grill for extra change soon. But more than likely,he will be in jail getting raped. Poetic justice served!:)

70. I knew his FAMILY and stayed at his NYC apt one weekend. He is a TOTAL loser. I am an ex-model and also happens to be Indian. At the time, I was Stanford Business School having left the modeling world far behind. I knew his sister through some random friends and they allowed me to crash at their place while I was visiting NYC. He was an absolute enfant terrible. As far as I could see he was a short, hairy, troll like creature who was hiding his insecurities with a tremendous amount of bravado. It was obvious to me from spending 48 hours with him that he was not an “up and coming” designer as he purported to be, he had some family coin backing him in his ventures and that he was more interested in the scene than clothes. I agreed to help him out at a fashion show in the Hamptons (since I was staying with them) and people, it was sad. Having lived in Paris, Milan, London and NYC as a model seeing pathetic little Anand Jon with teens fresh from Hackensack, who were, NOT, professional models but trying damn hard to get representation, surroundign him for photos. I remember counseling one of the girls not to smoke-it was really sad–she was 15 and definitely not going to make it as a model. The impression I got from him was that he was riding on being Indian but also tempering that with screaming about Kabalah and his Kerala Christian roots every five minutes. He wasn’t good looking, talented or even interesting and I found him woefully ignorant, rude and deeply insecure. Oh, and 100% slimy. He was also very uncomfortable around me. (Maybe because I’d been a real model, maybe because I was Indian, maybe because I was 5′10 and dwarfed him or maybe because he figured out that I knew what time it was the second I saw him..I thought to myself “what kind of game is this guy running” the minute I saw him.) HIS sister and Mother DOTE on this little troll and try creating a mystique around him and talking about how he’s so talented and spiritual. I think its kind of sad and I felt sorry for them. Its like their survival and relevance depends on him. However I just felt disgusted and embarrassed by him. He didn’t talk to me at all over the weekend and seemed to be grouchy and in a bad mood constantly. The day I was leaving he insisted on taking the elevator down with me and said something (out of the blue) about tantric sex. I just raised and eyebrow and looked at him. He then said blood and semen mixing was very spiritual–red and white. I just looked at him and said “Wow.” “Take care”. He was just a sad poseur. I’m not surprised to hear this stuff about him now…he is someone who has been on the fringes for years, trying, aiming and falling miserably short of success. And I’m sorry that the way he it catches up to him is by hurting others..I don’t doubt any of these rapes happened. Loser.

71. If you’ll dig a little deeper, you’ll be amazed at what you find.

It appears that Anand Jon may have never sold a SINGLE item of clothing in any store, any where.

On various of Jon’s sites, he claims to have sold lines in:

Henri Bendel, New York, NY
Bergdorf Goodman, New York, NY
Wilkes Bashford, San Francisco, CA
Saks Jandel, Chevy Chase , MD
Kapsiki, Palm Beach, FL
Razooks, Greenwich, CT
Bleu, Los Angeles, CA
Madison & Emma Gold, Los Angeles, CA

However, each of these stores were contacted, and other than Kapsiki in Palm Beach, each store clearly states that not only have they not ever carried any of his products, they’ve never even heard of him.

The owner of Kapsiki’s said he did know Anand Jon, and had taken two dresses on consignment, but didn’t sell either one.

Additionally, at least one runway model explains that before one of the fashion shows she participated in, Jon had the girls cut the “foreign labels” out of all the outfits - so no one would know that his “original” designs were actually purchased ready made.

If you read the other Google news articles that are posted, you will also see that:

1. an Indian journalist has contacted everyone on the “Who’s Who” list in India that Anand Jon claims to be good friends with, and every single one said that they did not have ANY relationship with him, and most had never met him.

2. at RadarOnLine.com:

“A source who has known him since 2003 says his “friendships” with stars such as Paris Hilton and Michelle Rodriguez were largely illusory.

Unbelievable as it may seem, it appears that MOST of the claims that Anand Jon’s websites make are merely fictional - including:

- HIS CELEBRITY “FRIENDS” - it now appears that most of the photos online with “famous” people - for example Anand’s picture with Paula Abdul - are only “photo ops”, no different than the hundreds of others pictures Paula makes with her adoring fans

- his “ROCK STAR STATUS” in India, where it seems few notables had even heard of him before now;

- WHO WEARS HIS CLOTHING - no confirmation found that Jon “dresses” The scores of famous people he claims on his web sites

- WHO SELLS HIS CLOTHING - it is reported that all but one store listed by Jon as one of his “distributors” categorically denies that they have EVER carried his line, and the remaining one states he never sold a SINGLE item he displayed for Jon

- and -

- WHETHER OF NOT ANAND JON EVEN HAS A HAND IN DESIGNING HIS OWN RUNWAY ATTIRE - as evidence exists that at least some of his outfits were purchased offshore

Then what’s it all about?

Why go to the trouble of staging all these fashion lines if he never intended to really sell anything?

If not money, then what could it be that he was really after?

I wonder.

72. hmmm....so anyone have some new news on this creep joke? what is he planning now? i bet he is probably still finding ways to find new victims, new girls, to lie and abuse....new ones who will allow him to make them feel special!

i hope honorable minds have lost respect for him....sincerly!

73. If it were just one woman you might be swayed to think it wasn't true. How ever, 12 women putting their reputation and emotional well being to go public about being raped defies the odds and logic.

The man is a sexual predator and sociopath. And, will likely get his just desserts in the end; personal prison blues designer and male love muffin/bitch to his cell mate bubba.
