A part of the post written by Ansel Elgort on his social media mentioned, “I cannot claim to understand her feelings but her description of events is simply not what happened. I have never and would never assault anyone. What is true is that in New York in 2014, when I was 20, she and I had a brief, legal and entirely consensual relationship. Unfortunately, I did not handle the breakup well. I stopped responding to her, which is an immature and cruel thing to do to someone. I know this belated apology does not absolve me of my unacceptable behavior when I disappeared.”

The girl, who claimed to be in a relationship with Ansel Elgort, mentioned that they started talking via social media. She shared a picture of herself with Ansel, which was taken on Snapchat. She also shared a message written to her by Ansel Elgort on social media. The sexual assault claims have reportedly jeopardized Ansel Elgort’s casting in Steven Spielberg’s Wild Wild West.
