Allegations

Reham called Imran Khan a free-loader as he never bought any vegetables. Instead, he got them free from political colleagues like Jahangir Khan Tareen and Tariq Fazal Chaudhary.[2][3] Other allegations revolve around corruption of Pervez Khattak and privatization scheme of Asad Umar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[3] She also alleged that Khattak used marijuana.[3]

She alleged that Khan had drug addictions and claimed that Khan possessed drugs like tranquillisers including benzodiazepines like Xanax and Lexotanil.[3]

Regarding Khan's sexual life, she alleged that Khan has gay tendencies.[3] The book claims that Khan had a sexual relationship with Uzma Kardar, Andleeb Abbas and transgender model Rimal Ali (which she denied.)[4] She wrote that Kardar regularly sexted Khan.[3] She further claimed that Khan told her of a threesome he had in the 1980s with singer Grace Jones and a rock-model.[3] Regarding children, she said that Khan told her that he had five illegitimate children.[3][5]

Reham also claimed that Khan is a staunch believer of black magic, and practices it at his residence.[6]

Reaction

A few days before the book was released, actor Hamza Ali Abbasi claimed that he had read a manuscript and criticized the book for being biased. Reham pointed out the fact that the book had been read illegally and claimed that Abbasi had been threatening her. This was followed by a number of accusations and quarrells between the two on Twitter.[7][8] Reham Khan faced legal challenges from people whom she made sexual claims about. She was sued by her former first husband Ijaz Rehman, former cricketer Wasim Akram, Zulfi Bukhari and Anila Khawaja.[9] Later, Imran Khan said in an interview that his marriage with Reham was his biggest mistake.[10] Reham denies that there are any cases filed against her by saying that those are just social media threats.[11]
