“I have a problem,” the comic actor says in part.
Chris D’Elia posted a lengthy video Friday in which he made allegations of sexual misconduct.
The comic actor said in the nearly ten-minute video on his YouTube page ‘I have a problem’, but insisted he had done nothing illegal.
“First, I know what it looks like with all the things that have been said and the emails that have been put out there and what the media is trying to say, and I know it looks bad,” D’Elia said. “I stand by the fact that all my relationships were consensus and legal.”
Last summer, D’Elia was accused by several women of sexually harassing underage girls. One alleged victim claims he asked for nude photos, knowing she is a minor. Another suspected victim accused him of trying to take care of her. Screenshots of conversations between her and the cartoon have been shared. Shortly afterwards, D’Elia was fired by his talent agency, CAA. He issued a first statement when the allegations came to light, but has been silent ever since.
D’Elia said in his Friday video ‘sex controls my life’ and that he is seeking treatment. “That was the focus, that was my focus all the time. And I had a problem and I had a problem. It’s not like being better for months. I have to do work on it.”
D’Elia recently appeared in the Netflix series You and a comedy special, No pain.
