Whitney Cummings has responded to allegations that comedian/actor Chris D’Elia harassed underage girls on social media
Cummings has responded to allegations that comedian/actor Chris D’Elia harassed underage girls on social media, saying she’s “devastated and enraged by what I’ve read and learned.”, a role that Cummings said she wrote for D’Elia.
“This is a pattern of predatory behavior,” Cummings said in a tweet today. “This abuse of power is enabled by silence. Now that I’m aware, I won’t be silent. “Girls should be able to be a fan of a comedian they admire without becoming a sexual target,” she added. “It’s the adult’s responsibility to be an adult.”
Earlier, D’Elia issued a statement defending himself against allegations he solicited attention from underage girls, actions taken even after learning they were underage.“I know I have said and done things that might have offended people during my career, but I have never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point,” D’Elia said in a statement obtained by Deadline.
