Clients are continuing to sever ties with David Adaye—but not necessarily his eponymous firm in all cases—following the publication of a July 4 report published by the Financial Times in which three women, all former employees, came forward to accuse the star architect of alleged sexual abuse. Adjaye, 56, did not deny having intimate relationships with the women but said in a statement that he “absolutely rejects any claims of sexual misconduct, abuse, or criminal wrongdoing,” adding that the “allegations are untrue, distressing for me and my family and run counter to everything I stand for.”
As initially reported by RECORD following the release of the FT story, at least two clients announced that they would halt their respective relationships with Adjaye: the county library system serving the metro Portland, Oregon, region and the UK Holocaust Memorial & Learning Centre. It was also announced that Adjaye would immediately step down as a Design Advocate with the office of London Mayor Sadiq Kahn.
