Comedian Chris D’Elia is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct of underage girls and young women. Shortly after a Twitter user going by the name Simone Rossi came forward Tuesday night with accusations that D’Elia — who starred as sexual predator and stand-up comedian Henderson in the popular Netflix series You — groomed her, dozens of other women came forward with similar stories.
In the initial accusations, Rossi shared a screenshot of her alleged interactions with D’Elia in 2014 when she was just 16, in which D’Elia asked her for pictures and asked her to meet up so that they could “make out.” Rossi said that the comedian “used the power imbalance between us to his advantage” and said that she believed she was “being groomed by a stand up comedian twice” her age. Rossi went on to note that she was “definitely not the only underage girl he did this to,” and not long after, dozens of other women came forward.

Sharing their own stories on Twitter, many women recounted similar experiences to what Rossi described. Taking place when they were underage or young adults, many of the women said their interactions with D’Elia began after attending one of his shows, with D’Elia direct messaging them or texting them. He allegedly often asked for nude images of the girls and, in some instances, asked if they could “make out.” D’Elia has not responded to the accusations. Keep scrolling to see the new allegations against D’Elia now coming to light.
this may as well have been the exact email exchange between @chrisdelia and myself days after i turned 18 and went to his show. he now has me blocked on both twitter and instagram. the only reason i didn’t go is because i had started dating someone. https://t.co/a2cpMYAnFa pic.twitter.com/yQX9jn9r7m

Chris D’Elia receipt from 2014 when I was 19. I remember tweeting something about how funny I thought one of his routines was & then I got this. ANYWAY. It led to incessant and creepy communication from him asking me to go to his hotel room every time he came to my city. (1/5) pic.twitter.com/mfLeqy8i2l
