STORY THREAD: When I was 21, I was an aspiring comedian and huge Chris D’Elia fan. One day, Chris tweeted about being in Toronto filming something, so I jokingly responded asking if he wanted to hang out. He DMed me to “hang out” almost immediately and I freaked out!

A thread! Chris D’Elia is hot garbaj’. When I was 19 (legal, yes) he DMed me on Twitter, then send me his email where we started emailing. He asked for nudes, but I said no. After lewd emails & texts, I went over to his place 1 night (which was disgusting btw, buy a fckn vacuum) pic.twitter.com/fpP1hXu7fC

D’Elia denied the allegations of knowingly texting with and sexually harassing underage girls in an interview with TMZ. Here is what he had to say, “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.” Chris goes on to say, “All of my relationships have been both legal and consensual and I have never met or exchanged any inappropriate photos with the people who have tweeted about me.”
We will update this as more information is uncovered.
