Model Nimra Jacob accuses Hasnain Lehri of physical assault during fashion show

Model Nimra Jacob engaged in a heated spat with Husnain Lehri at backstage a fashion event, which has gone viral on social media.

Nimra Jacob has accused Pakistan’s male top model Hasnain Lehri of physical assault during a fashion show.

As reported the alleged incident occurred yesterday at the Trade Development Authority Pakistan’s (TDAP) fashion show during this year’s Textile EXPO (TEXPO2023).

During the highly anticipated #TEXPO2023 fashion show, tensions reached a boiling point backstage as supermodel Nimra Jacob’s voice echoed through the backstage area.

In the viral video clip, Nimra Jacob can be seen asking fashion show organizers to provide proper security to female models backstage after she got into a physical fight with a male model.

 

 

Later the model took to social media and posted a series of Instagram Stories to share some deets about the incident from her perspective.

“You can’t mistreat me. You can’t threaten me. You can’t bully me. And you surely will not put your hands on me without consequences,” stated the model.

“We, in the fashion industry, have seen too much abuse, disrespect, and complete, utter negligence for our safety to tolerate it anymore. I have no space in my heart for forgiveness when it comes to abuse, harassment, bullying, assault, etc.”

“Without any plausible cause, threats were made at me. I was verbally abused and physically assaulted. My property was taken and used to blackmail me. My female colleagues were harmed in the process of trying to protect me. This all happened at work, where I made sure to bring it to the attention of the management that I was being threatened by the perpetrator before he even became violent. The management should have taken action the first time I mentioned concern for my safety,” she wrote further.

She went on to add:

“I’m lucky there were eyewitnesses to this man’s horrific actions. From his threats to his violence, some people witnessed it all. As traumatized as I am, I’m not standing alone. I refuse to let anyone abuse, threaten, intimidate, or belittle my colleagues or myself in any way. Today I stand to let you know that I will call out these abusers, harassers, and bullies for exactly who/what they are. Every single one of them.”

She said, “If we want the industry to be a safe space, we need to take a stand and collectively check disrespect at the door. We need to demand accountability for those who are supposed to ensure our safety at work. And demand zero tolerance for the perpetrators involved in spewing such violence and aggression at the workplace. I’m done with this toxic, abusive culture. No more! Enough is enough.”
