Mega Edition: Author Michael Gross And The Day He Spent With Jean Luc Brunel (7/25/26)

Author Michael Gross recalled spending a deeply unsettling day and night with Jean-Luc Brunel while researching his 1995 book about the modeling industry. Gross conducted one of the few lengthy interviews Brunel ever gave, questioning him about allegations that he sexually abused young models and about his cocaine use. Brunel denied the accusations and minimized his drug problem, but Gross said his explanations were barely credible. Throughout the encounter, Gross was struck by Brunel’s arrogance, his control over the young women around him and the atmosphere of fear surrounding models who depended upon him for work and housing.

Gross said the most disturbing portion came later, when he accompanied Brunel and two young models through Paris. One of the women showed Gross an apartment connected to Brunel where a hidden peephole had allegedly been drilled through a wall so someone could watch women inside the bathroom. Gross described the models as frightened and vulnerable, despite occasionally laughing or attempting to treat the situation casually. When Brunel eventually drove away with one of the women, Gross asked whether she would be safe; although she answered yes, he said the fear in her eyes suggested otherwise. The encounter left Gross with the impression that Brunel operated a predatory system in which young women’s ambitions, isolation and financial dependence could be used against them.
