As myriad sexual misconduct allegations against him build, YouTube and HBO documentary host Andrew Callaghan finally responds—with counter-claims of his own.
, the 25-year-old video journalist’s lawyer danced around claims that Callaghan pressured women into having sex with him—and alleged that one of his accusers reached out to ask for money before taking her claims public.
“Andrew is devastated that he is being accused of any type of physical or mental coercion against anyone,” the rep told TMZ. “Conversations about pressure and consent are extremely important and Andrew wants to have these conversations, so he can continue to learn and grow.” This is the first time that Callaghan, whose work involves traveling across the country interviewing extremists and counter-cultural figures, has spoken publicly since the allegations wentearly this week. The most visible claims were in several videos from one young woman, who detailed her claims of abuse at length; her TikTok account has since gone private.
However, TMZ also cited an anonymous legal representative for the filmmaker, claiming that the same TikTokker who made the initial allegations also came forward in an effort to extort Callaghan for money. “While every dynamic is open to interpretation and proper communication is critical from all those involved, repeated requests for money should not be part of these conversations,” Callaghan’s rep added. “While even one concerned partner is too many, there are always multiple sides to a story.”
