In November 2017, Ladies Like Us actor Kristina Cohen accused Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick of rape. Cohen alleged in a Facebook post that while she was taking a nap at Westwick's home, he assaulted her. "I was woken up abruptly by Ed on top of me, his fingers entering my body. I told him to stop, but he was strong. I fought him off as hard as I could but he grabbed my face in his hands, shaking me, telling me he wanted to f**k me. I was paralyzed, terrified," Cohen wrote in her Facebook post. "I couldn't speak, I could no longer move. He held me down and raped me."
Westwick denied Cohen's accusations, writing in a since-deleted Twitter post (via Us Weekly), "I do not know this woman. I have never forced myself in any manner, on any woman. I certainly have never committed rape."
After Cohen's Facebook post, two additional women, Rachel Eck and Aurélie Wynn, also accused Westwick of sexual assault. And a fourth woman, Haley Freedman, accused Westwick of assault in March 2018. As Us Weekly reported in 2018, Westwick didn't face rape charges, due to "insufficient evidence" in the three cases.
