Who is James Toback's wife? The serial sexual predator accused of sexual misconduct by 38 women

On Monday, December 5, a total of 38 women collectively sued James Toback for sexual misconduct. Toback is accused of being a "serial sexual predator." The women alleged in a 90-page lawsuit that James, who made his directing debut with the 1978 film "Fingers," "used his reputation, power and influence in the entertainment industry" to "lure young women through fraud, coercion, force and intimidation into compromising situations where he falsely imprisoned, sexually abused, assaulted and/or battered them." James would force the women to "act provocatively and perform sexual acts," according to the lawsuit, which Page Six was able to obtain. The lawsuit further stated that the victims are speaking out now, despite the alleged abuse occurring for the past 38 years, because of his "explicit and implicit threats of black-listing them in the industry, physically harming them, and/or even killing them if they did not comply with and remain silent about the sexual abuse they endured." It is also claimed that the Harvard Club of New York City allowed "Toback's mistreatment to continue unchecked." "James used his membership and affiliation with the Harvard Club of New York City repeatedly to facilitate and carry out his abuse, luring his victims to the Harvard Club for meals and drinks and attacking them in the Harvard Club's dining room, stairwells, bathrooms, and hotel rooms," according to the claims. Despite the fact that several women complained about him, the Harvard Club allegedly did nothing after he was "allowed unrestricted access in and around the club." The Daily Beast was informed by a club spokesperson that Toback's membership was terminated in 2017. The spokesperson said, "Beyond that, the Harvard Club does not comment on pending litigation." As was previously mentioned, Toback was accused of harassing women as early as 1989, according to an article in Spy magazine. He was described as "hanging out on the streets of the Upper West Side in New York City, and approaching ladies." In order to propose a part for them in one of his films, he would introduce himself as a Hollywood producer and invite women to meet him in private. Rachel McAdams, Julianna Moore and Selma Blair, who told in an interview with 'The Talk,' "I’ve literally been afraid for 17 years of James Toback who threatened to murder me and, you know, put cement shoes on and gouge my eyes out with a Bic pen if I ever told anybody," are among the 395 women who have accused him of sexual harassment in these four decades. According to The Guardian, Toback has denied all allegations, saying that he had never met any of the women or, if he had, it "was for five minutes and [I] have no recollection." He has not yet been charged because Los Angeles County prosecutors decided not to do so because the allegations were made after California's statute of limitations had expired.

Who is James Toback's wife?

Andre, an adolescent boy, is James's child with Stephanie Kempf, whom he is married to. The writer and teacher Stephanie has not yet responded to the accusations made against her husband. But James claimed in 1983 that he met Stephanie and actress Nastassja Kinski while they were working on the movie "Exposed." He claimed during an interview with Movie Line that “I introduced Stephanie and Nastassia and said to her: ‘Whatever you may hear about me or think about men in general, there will never be a situation between us.’ Without missing a beat, she said, ‘If you really mean that, I will trust you with everything.’”
