- ‘All of a sudden, I just wasn’t functional anymore’
When supermodel Beverly Peele’s son Trey Peele was 11, his mother told him something shocking about his father.
The sexual encounter she had had a decade prior with fashion mogul Peter Nygard that led to his birth was not consensual, she said. Nygard had raped her, according to Beverly Peele.
It was a secret she had kept from almost everyone else. In 2020, as other allegations of sexual misconduct mounted against Nygard, Trey Peele urged her to go public with it.
“I was like, ‘Mom, we need to speak up about it,’” Trey Peele, now 18, told “Dateline NBC” in an exclusive interview.
“I think I’m OK with it as long as you’re OK with it,” he said to her. “‘And we could just go through this together.’”
Nygard has been charged in a nine-count federal indictment and faces lawsuits filed by dozens of women and girls who accuse him of sex trafficking and sexual assault spanning several decades. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Such claims were not limited to the parties he threw.
Maridel Carbuccia was Nygard’s treasurer and says a few months into working for him, he offered her something to drink. After a couple sips, her vision became fuzzy and she couldn’t feel her hands, she said.
“All of a sudden, I just wasn’t functional anymore,” she said. “I couldn’t get up. He was just on top of me. And I kept trying to push away. I was like, ‘Peter, get off me. What are you doing?’”
Dana Neal, a former recruitment and retention manager, was among Nygard’s employees who quit and then tried to speak out about what he saw, talking to reporters about the fashion executive. When he did, Nygard sued him for breaching his employment agreement.
The alleged attacks expanded beyond employees and aspiring models and left deep emotional scars. Jenny Gilmer was a 19-year-old tourist in the Bahamas in 1998 when she was invited to play tennis on Nygard’s estate. He extended an invitation for her to stay at the property. While having drinks with other guests, she started to feel dizzy and weak. She says Nygard assaulted her again and again.
“It altered my decision-making through life — relationships, depression,” she said.
