A top artist and Nike collaborator was branded an alleged pest who 'joked about his rape room' after he and his wife supposedly posted an outrageous job ad seeking , which sought a round-the-clock assistant with 'a high level of discretion'.
While Sachs' self-described in-studio 'cult' was intentionally part of his motif, those who worked inside were instead allegedly targeted with terrifying ordeals. 
They claim Sachs would speak inappropriately about women and sex, and would share his fondness for virtual reality porn during group lunches.

The revelations seemingly stemmed from a allegedly posted by Sachs, 56, and his artist wife Sarah Hoover, 38, looking for an assistant to cater to practically every aspect of their lives. 
The posting was ostensibly to work for an 'art world family', with the new hire tasked with menial jobs including picking up clothes, managing 'medical needs' and helping with the 'in-studio cats'. 
The new hire must also 'have the ability to seamlessly juggle multiple priorities in a dynamic, unstructured environment and possess flexibility to change course at a moment's notice', per the posting. 
Applicants were even warned they'd have to manage the couple's 'dog system' and 'closet system.' Those who know Sachs say the system wording points to the ad being placed by him.   
The couple is seeking a full-time 'Executive/Personal Assistant' who is also expected to serve as a house manager, babysitter, gardener, and travel agent
The job post's 'Responsibilities Overview' is divided into four lengthy sections and duties include 'manage dog systems' and 'help studio assistant with the in-studio cats' 
Babysitting the couple's four-year-old is another responsibility, though it is listed as a job 'requirement'
The ad also had the unintended consequence of triggering a tidal wave of allegations about Sachs' alleged concerning behavior.  
Sachs' revered studio has a disturbing status within Manhattan's artistic world, where he admittedly enforces strict rules on his employees to fit into the 'systems'. 
But female employees allege they quickly found themselves in a troubling environment, where Sachs would talk openly about the type of porn he was into during group lunches. 
The bespectacled creative is said to have expressed his excitement for virtual reality porn, where the 'viewer' dons a headset which lets them feel they are interacting with the scene. 
One young staffer claims that she was afraid to be alone with him at night, particularly after one shocking claim that he called the storage room in the studio's basement the 'rape room'. 
Sachs subsequently changed the name of the rape room to the 'consent room,' with a spokesperson telling Curbed both terms were only intended as jokes. 
While discussing one assistant's living situation, he allegedly asked if she was 'f****** all of her roommates'. 
On a separate occasion, he reportedly told her she was 'lucky to live in a day and age when curves and butts are in fashion.'
Despite routinely walking around in his underwear, Sachs often enforced strict uniform rules on his staff, including making them wear them during 7am group workouts and runs around Soho, Manhattan. 
The rumors about his eccentric and allegedly abusive behavior did little to dent his professional success though.

Sachs has enjoyed an extremely-lucrative 11 year-collaboration with sports giant Nike, which has seen him design shoes and other artwork for the activewear brand.

The allegations against the artist emerged after he and his wife Sarah Hoover, right, posted a pushy job advert for an assistant to 'make life easier for the couple in every way possible'
His 'systems' included making sure items such as pens and rulers are placed at 90-degree angles on tables, while those inside must walk silently and respond to commands only with 'I understand,' or 'I don't understand.' 
Sachs has dubbed his bizarre studio his 'greatest work of art', but former employees claimed that he 'goes out of his way to sow discomfort'. 
New hires are also reportedly given manuals, which included suggestions about how to approach Sachs about his lunch, and how to 'avoid things that make Tom mad'.
Sach's spokesperson brushed it off as a joke, but employees say they took it completely seriously. 
His outlandish management style also saw employees forced to give up money to a 'Leatherface' piggy bank, named after the antagonist in horror franchise Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 
But the punishments extended far beyond that, where employees say Sachs berated them by calling them 'autistic', 'retarded', and 'bitch'. 
'Basically, if a lightbulb went out in the middle of the night and you didn't change it the second you got in, you were getting your ass biblically reamed out,' one former studio assistant claims.
