Julio Iglesias Accused of Sexual Assault and Abuse by Former Employees

Former employees of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias have accused the global star of sexual harassment, assault, and physical and verbal abuse during their employment from 2021 and prior.

One employee claimed that Iglesias, then 77, pressured her into sexual encounters, asserting that she endured physical and verbal humiliations, including slaps, while working at his residences in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.

A three-year investigative report gathered testimonies from 15 former employees, along with documents, correspondence, recorded calls, and medical records, confirming the challenging working conditions and strict surveillance in Iglesias' homes.

Julio Iglesias and his legal team have not responded to journalists' inquiries, while a representative for the employees dismissed the allegations as "fabrications."

It is noteworthy that Julio Iglesias, father of singer Enrique Iglesias, is regarded as one of the most successful Spanish-speaking artists globally, having released over 80 albums and sold more than 300 million copies of his recordings.
