West Ham co-owner David Sullivan, facing a sexual misconduct probe, attended the club's League Cup match against Portsmouth on Saturday, despite the London Stadium's landlord advising him to stay away. Seven women accused the 77-year-old businessman of sexually exploitative and predatory behavior during a joint investigation by the BBC and Britain's The Times.
Sullivan resigned as joint chair of the club before the investigation was broadcast in June, claiming the allegations were false. Despite building his fortune from owning pornographic magazines, Sullivan remains West Ham's largest shareholder. London Stadium issued a statement on Tuesday citing safeguarding concerns, but the club claimed Sullivan would not pose an ongoing risk.
However, the stadium recommended he not attend due to potential fan unrest. The Hammers defeated Portsmouth 3-1 in the first-round match.
