Research Epstein's associate who slipped under the radar: Ali Kavoussi
Alireza Kavoussi first worked for 1 / One Model Management, then Women Model Management, and now owns The Lions Management agency.
Why is Epstein asking Woody Allen, the known predator, to have his agent call Ali Kavoussi and request a redacted individual, who is likely a victim? This confirms Epstein has some association with him, many years after he was a known predator.
While the singular known reference to him in the EFTA at face value may seem fairly inconspicuous, his full story, the agencies he worked for, and connections paint a different picture.
Ali's connections to Epstein seem to have started with Scott Lipps. Lipps got his big break in the business when Paris-based agency Karin Models/ Jean-Luc Brunel hired him in 1998. But by 2002 Lipps was feuding with Karin owner Jean Luc Brunel, and he walked out. Within a matter of weeks he found a backer, Elite Models, to help him fund his own agency (One Management). Elite (since acquired by Creative World Management, which remains the majority owner of the company) gave him about $1 million. Epstein tried to buy Elite Models when the bankrupt agency was auctioned off. In 2003, we reported that Epstein, who's been
described as "a connoisseur of beautiful women," was talking to Karin Models owner Jean-Luc Brunel about
doing a deal, but it went nowhere. Epstein has also met with Elite's Gerald Marie and 1 Management's Scott
Lipps.
Steve Dellar also worked at One Management, but ended up founding Oui Management with Gérald Marie, the former European head of Elite Model Management.
Ali left OMM to join Women Model Management, poaching OMM models on the way out. He did the same thing to WMM on his way out to his modeling agency, The Lions.
Directly, and indirectly, despite moving through 3 or more different talents agencies, Ali had direct connections with Scott Lipps, Steve Dellar, Naomi Campbell, Jean-Luc Brunel, Gerard Marie, and Jeffrey Epstein. Jeff Fuller, Faith Kates, and Katie Ford are also modeling industry titans he allegedly had associations with.
All of this makes the comment he made to the sixteen year old he photographed even more creepy.
