Comedian and actor Chris D’Elia has reportedly been dropped by Creative Artists Agency (CAA) after women accused him on social media of inappropriate behavior, including allegations involving underage girls.
According to reports, he has also parted ways with representatives at WME and 3 Arts Entertainment, including his talent agents, manager and touring agent.
Last week D’Elia responded to the allegations in a statement obtained by Deadline. He said he has never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point, that his relationships have been legal and consensual, and that he has never met or exchanged inappropriate photos with the people who tweeted about him. He also apologized and said he got caught up in his lifestyle and plans to do better.
His former co-star Whitney Cummings, who worked with him on the series Whitney, said publicly that she was devastated and enraged by what she had read, and that she would no longer stay silent.
Streaming platforms including Hulu and Amazon Prime have reportedly pulled a Workaholics episode featuring D’Elia. He also appeared in a recurring role on the Netflix series You, and star Penn Badgley said the allegations were very disturbing and that culture needs to change. Badgley added that producers reached out to a young actress who worked with D’Elia on the show to make sure she felt safe.
These are allegations, and D’Elia has denied pursuing minors.
