Anandsfriend??? Reaaallly???? I would be interested in knowing if you are actually his friend or you just THINK you are. Are you a wannabe-underage-model that is looking to make it big and think he is going to take you there? ( sounds that way ) Or do you know him in the celeb or socialite world where he treats you with kindness because you may be "useful" to his networking? Lets be real honey. If you were really his actual friend, you would know all sides to the man..the fact that you DO NOT shows those who do that you havent a clue. Baby, its sweet that you wanna protect him but grow up and open your eyes. There is more to the story than meets your little rose-coloured-glass covered eyes. You are right he is a sweetheart, it is very sad, but you are wrong if you think the girls made these stories up. They are only the one's who risked coming forward. Go back to your little pretty bedroom and count those sweet little sheep, dreamland awaits your return.

“anandsfriend”. Let’s get real. There are 20 counts of sexual indiscretions against him and at least 4 victims. He was charged a few years back for disorderly conduct and send to “sex-therapy” for 52 weeks. He continued with his sexual exploits. (mind you, he is still working on his green card. So this guy obviously had balls to do what he did and continued to do). This guy is a really sick preverse idiot. 20 COUNTS including lewd act on a minor is not a joke and I believe the charges. It seems from what people are saying on this forum that he was like this even in India. God only knows what he did in India…Whether these women threw themselves at him or not does not mean you sexually abuse a minor!!!! That is a sick. He is where he should be with criminals just like him. Anandsfriend, you would think differently if it was your little sister he did this to. There are about 6 billion people in this world, do yourself a favor and find another friend.

Anand is my friend and I don’t appreciate all the horrid remarks everywhere about him. I am not expecting my post here to make any difference; however, unless you know him you’ll never understand the pain I feel reading comments about him everywhere. He is generous, kind, has a great sense of humor, shows genuine interest in people from all walks of life, is an insanely talented artist. I could go on forever. My heart is broken for him. I cannot imagine him in jail alongside real criminals who could possibly harm him. These women THROW themselves at him – there are THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY! Your’s, their’s and THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!

Okay, I have been following this story for a few days now. I learned of this guy a few years back via the internet when he first burst onto the scene. He seemed pretty descent and humble. I was actually proud that he was repping Indians. Then a few days back I see his name all over the place, even on the Indian news channels. Curious, I did some research and came across his story on TMZ.com which has all the up to date info. ( http://www.tmz.com/2007/03/19/four-more-accusers-hit-celeb-designer-with-sex-charges/#comments ). The most bothersome aspect of this story, on a personal level, is the Indian bashing that’s going on at TMZ’s forum. It is abs ridiculous!!! I cringe at some of the hateful remarks people are making towards Indians as a whole. After replying to a few vulgar statements about our country, I finally gave up. He is a complete embarrasement to our people moreso because he was very much associated with Hollywood celebs and dignitaries. In closing,I have 2 questions. 1) is this guy really related to Yesudas?? 2) where is his father. all you see in the pictures… his mother and sister.

I’m proud Julie Ann had the balls to say what she felt about this jerk. Can’t believe other Indians would give you flak for that, such hypocrites. Just shows how much we need to grow up as people. It’s only an interview for crying out loud. Heck, I’d have gone on to make a website http://www.anandjonisadickhead.com and really gotten his goat!

You know I got a lot of flack from not only my family but a lot of other indians as well about what was said in the interview I gave a few years ago. I don't feel like I said anything that wasn't TRUE, at that time. I have to be honest and say I'm not surprised by these accusations at all; whaddaya expect from a guy who's got an entourage of underage underfed white girls?! Oh well...

I think some people are still unclear about this post. That picture is a picture of Anand Jon reading OUR website to prove that it was in fact Anand Jon and not some prankster who could simply copy a stock picture of Jon and send it in to us. It is true that I told Jon I wouldn’t use the picture. I did and that is unethical and I do feel a little bad about using it. But really, after you’ve been accused of raping several women including a child, is a picture of you reading Sepia Mutiny really all that embarrassing? In any case, it’s my karma, and I will work it off like I work off the rest.

ethics= taking down the post when you promised to..it's really that simple, one doesn't have to go to j-school for that.

Woah - go back and read what Abhi said. He never promised to take down the post at all:

I told Anand that we would not delete Annaâ€™s post but I would delete some of the especially nasty comments that followed the post, corroborating that he did in fact smell (allegedly).

The issue about ethics involves Abhi's use of the "proof of life" photo at this point, not anything to do with the original post.
