More models have joined the chorus of accusations against photographer Bruce Weber.

Weber — who has shot for Vogue and Abercrombie & Fitch — was sued by model Jason Boyce in December 2017, alleging sexual harassment and discrimination.

In January, 15 models spoke with the New York Times, describing “unnecessary nudity and coercive sexual behavior.”

Now, five more models, represented by Lisa Bloom, anonymously filed suit in the Southern District of New York Friday, claiming Weber is a “serial sexual predator” who “exploited his prominence and influence to manipulate men into submitting to his sexual advances.

All of the victims describe a similar “modus operandi,” saying Weber would do a “breathing exercise” that would lead to him fondling their genitals.

Weber allegedly said things like, “Just relax and you’ll go far in this industry.”

Weber’s lawyer tells us, “These new allegations are outrageous. Bruce Weber has never lured, recruited or forced anyone to do anything and has never inappropriately touched a model. This lawsuit is nothing more than a media-hungry lawyer’s attempt to extort Mr. Weber.”

“There was a formula. It was male models from the Midwest, ages 18 to 26. He would never go after big models. He went after the ones who were naive and broke, so they couldn’t sue,” an insider told us.

Meh. The real surprise is that anyone is surprised. This old guy was taking the most beautiful photographs of beautiful boys - that was his thing! And they were so beautiful - and the shots were so intimate - how could anyone not think that this old guy wasn’t completely enamoured of these young gods? And that he wouldn’t ever touch...

And as someone pointed out - it was the fresh meat from out in the sticks who were powerless to do anything - if they wanted the gig...

So did many of the beautiful young men in his stable go on to have actual careers modeling for other photographers? Or did any of them manage to snag sugar daddies and live well before the inevitable march of time favilotates their return home to the Midwest? There must be plenty of stories out there...?
