Aziz Ansari says sexual misconduct allegation made him 'scared,' 'humiliated,' 'embarrassed.'
For the first time since Aziz Ansari was accused of sexual misconduct last year, the comedian has addressed the ordeal in depth.
The comedian said that above all, he hopes the experiences of the last year have made him"a better person." Last January, a since-shuttered website, Babe.net, published the account of a woman who claimed that while on a date with Ansari, the comedian pressured her to have sexual intercourse after she declined, and also touched her genitals. Ansari released a statement at the time, in which he said that during the date,"everything did seem OK to me," and learning of her feelings after the fact made him"surprised and concerned.
In his special, the 36-year-old actor said that the experience changed him for good. Now, he said, in addition to being more thoughtful, he's more thankful for his career and his fans.
