Though it's the one thing that should be in that room, 'cause it's their room, too, you're not thinking, you're doing something else. That kept happening, okay?"

Recent accusations
Chris D'Elia is now dealing with a string of sexual misconduct accusations against him, which began in mid-2020.
In June 2020, a woman named Simone Rossi (Twitter handle @girlpowertbh) shared screenshots of emails she received from Chris when she was 16 years old. According to the screenshots, Chris allegedly asked her for a 'pic', and within months of her and Chris messaging for the first time, he asked her to make out with him.
In September 2020, reports emerged that when actress Megan Drust agreed to give D'Elia a ride home from a West Hollywood restaurant in 2011, he unzipped his pants in her car and asked Drust to touch him. When she refused, he allegedly began pleasuring himself. Drust allegedly got out of the vehicle and told D'Elia, "You're defiling my car."
In March 2021, an anonymous woman filed a lawsuit against D'Elia in a federal court. The woman accused the comedian of sexually abusing her when she was 17. The lawsuit states that Chris:
"constructed a manipulative, controlling, and abusive dynamic in which he demanded Ms Doe provide him sexually explicit images of herself over the internet, directed her what specific sexual poses and acts she should perform for him, and psychologically punished her when she refused."

He also apologized for being a "dumb guy" who "let myself get caught up in my lifestyle".
