Replying to Rossi's thread, another Twitter user said that "this may as well have been the exact email exchange" she had with D'Elia just "days after I turned 18 and went to his show." The Twitter user, who goes by Han on her account, explained that she thought their interactions were "weird but not 'wrong' because i was 18." She said that only "up until recently," she thought "it was completely normal." She said that like other young women now bringing forward accusations against the comedian, D'Elia has her blocked on social media.
In another alleged incident stemming from 2014, one Twitter user recalled D'Elia's "incessant and creepy communication" after she tweeted about him. According to the user, who was 19 at the time, the comedian would text and email her and also communicate with her via "his burner Snapchat that he used under a pseudonym." Between 2014 and 2019, D'Elia allegedly made repeated attempts for her to come over. He called her a "f–ing tease" and a "b–" when she replied to a story he shared to his Snapchat of his "iced out chains." The Twitter user said that D'Elia is not only "a pervert but he's a f–ing mean and nasty person who clearly gets high off abusing his name and power."
Several other Twitter users reported similar incidents with D'Elia, including one young woman who claimed the comedian "slid in my insta dms and asked me to hang after a show MONTHS in advance" during her senior year of college in 2019. The young woman explained that at first she was excited when D'Elia messaged her, as she was "a huge fan," but D'Elia's messages "turned really creepy" fast. According to the user, D'Elia would ask her if she "wanted to come play." She called his messages "super unsettling" and explained that she was afraid to come forward until she saw other woman recounting their own experiences with D'Elia. D'Elia, she said, eventually blocked her.
Another Twitter user began a thread of accusations against D'Elia after receiving an "endless" number of direct messages from young women recounting their experiences with the actor. In the thread, one young woman said that D'Elia asked her friend to "come back to his hotel room later to 'cuddle' with him," while another accused the comedian of having "solicited nudes off me when I was 17." Another person accused D'Elia of using nude photographs to blackmail her friend when she was 18. Several people said that D'Elia had offered to fly them to Los Angeles "to hook up."
