Italian fashion designer Ricardo Tisci accused of sexual assault

  • Patrick Cooper filed an 11-page lawsuit on Tuesday in New York Supreme Court, accusing Italian designer Riccardo Tisci of drugging and sexually assaulting him in June 2024 in New York City.
  • Cooper claims that Tisci secretly administered a substance into his beverage at a Harlem restaurant, leading to confusion and loss of consciousness before the alleged assault at Tisci’s residence in SoHo.
  • Cooper said he woke up naked next to Tisci, was unable to consent or defend himself, then left, underwent a rape-kit exam, and reported the incident to police.
  • Tisci’s spokesman described the allegations as entirely false and malicious, stating that Tisci intends to prove his innocence through the appropriate legal channels.
  • The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, while the accusations highlight an ongoing legal dispute involving a prominent fashion figure and a new accuser.
