Twisted behaviour“Bikram” investigates allegations of abuse against a megastar yogi
A woman came forward with claims of sexual assault in 2013, and other allegations soon followed. Lawsuits claimed that during training courses Bikram would lure women up to his hotel room and then initiate sexual acts through massage, or by brute force. (The similarity to the testimony in the Harvey Weinstein case is striking.) The Economist was unable to find a representative for comment, but Bikram has in the past denied any wrongdoing. “Women like me. Women love me,” he said in an interview with CNN. “So if I really wanted to involve with the women, I don’t have to assault the women.”
