Kehinde Wiley Denies Sexual Assault Accusations

by Beyondboders

Kehinde Wiley, a famous American painter, has been accused of sexual assault by Joseph Awuah-Darko, a British-born Ghanaian artist.

While Wiley has firmly denied these accusations, Awuah-Darko shared his claims on Instagram, describing two incidents that he said happened at a dinner in 2021, organized in Wiley’s honour by Ghana’s Creative Art Council at the Noldor Artist Residency.

In his post, Awuah-Darko said Wiley first touched him inappropriately by groping his buttocks while showing him to a bathroom. He claimed the second incident was much worse and violent.

In a phone interview with the New York Times, Awuah-Darko explained that a consensual sexual encounter turned violent when it moved to a bedroom. He said Wiley forced himself on him despite his clear refusal to continue.

Wiley responded on Instagram, denying the accusations. He stated, “Someone I had a brief, consensual relationship with almost three years ago is now making a false accusation about our time together. These claims are not true and are an affront to all victims of sexual abuse.”
