For Penn Badgley, the news is disturbing to say the least. Chris d'Elia, with whom he shared the poster for the second season of You , was recently accused of harassing minors who he allegedly asked for naked photos. It is a teenager who chose to publish on Twitter exchanges they had to denounce her behavior. Subsequently, several potential victims came forward.
for the longest time i thought this was just a funny story to tell at parties when i realized what happened isn't normal and that he was and could still be doing this to younger girls and it's my job to say something
- simoné (@girlpowertbh) June 16, 2020"It troubles me," said Penn Badgley during a stint on the Los Angeles Times podcast, Can't Stop Watching . I don't know Chris. I know that if there is anything we need to do in our time, it is to believe women. The idea that a series like ours can indirectly, unwittingly, be a refuge for abusive people is worrying. It is very disturbing. "
A curious statement
For his part, Chris D'Elia denied these accusations, assuring in a press release published by Deadline that all his "relations had been legal and consented". But later, the actor apologizes for behaviors on which he gives no details, thus sowing doubt. " I am really sorry. I was a stupid guy who totally got caught up in his lifestyle. It's my fault. I assume. I have been thinking about it for a while and I promise that I will do better. Chris D'Elia specifically portrayed the role of a successful artist with pedophile tendencies in the second season of You .
