Multiple women have come forward accusing comedian Chris D’Elia of abuse, sexual assault, and predatory behavior.
Allegations against D’Elia initially came to light inwhen Simone Rossi and others began to speak out about the comedian on Twitter. Among these were women who claimed they were contacted by D’Elia when they were still teenagers; the communication often turned sexual and involved him asking for nude photos.
Beyond his controlling behavior, one woman alleges that he offered her tickets to his sold out show if she’d give him oral sex. Another, who he’d previously made an “Elder” on his podcast, says he coerced her into performing oral sex before his show, and she started to cry. She claims he told her, “‘If you just do everything I say, it’ll all be OK.’”, the FBI has interviewed some of the alleged victims and witnesses.
