Ansel Elgort is accused of sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl in 2014

A woman has accused Ansel Elgort, star of the upcoming Disney-Steven Spielberg film “West Side Story,” of sexually assaulting her in 2014 when she was 17.

The woman, named Gabby, who did not reveal her last name, tweeted opinion on Friday and made an unverified claim that the actor, now 26, sexually abused her as a teenager. Gabby described how she was sobbing and in pain, saying: “I didn’t want to do it. The only words that came out of his mouth were, ‘We need to break you in.'”

Gabby said she sent Elgort a direct message in 2014 telling him she was about to turn 17. Elgort then gave her his private Snapchat account and asked her for nude photos. She also posted a photo of herself apparently sitting with Elgort, as well as a screenshot of their direct message exchange in which he provided his private Snapchat account. Gabby said she was reaching out now “so I can finally heal.”

The woman added: “Years later, I suffer from PTSD, I have panic attacks and I go to therapy.”

Representatives and managers for Elgort did not respond to multiple emails and calls from TheWrap seeking comment. TheWrap was unable to reach Gabby to confirm her story. Her Twitter account has been around since 2014.

UPDATE: Since this story was published, the woman – who received both praise and criticism for her disclosure – has deleted her social media accounts.

“West Side Story,” in which Elgort plays the lead role of Tony and Rachel Zegler plays Maria, is one of Disney’s planned major releases for the holiday season and is scheduled to hit theaters on Dec. 18. Disney representatives did not respond to TheWrap’s numerous requests for comment.

Gabby further described how Elgort demanded a threesome with her and one of her “dance friends,” who were also underage. Gabby said she didn’t tell anyone because he told her it would “ruin his career.” She added that there is “a lot more” to her story.

“He made me believe that this is how sex was supposed to be. I WAS SO YOUNG AND HE KNEW IT. He also said things like, ‘You’re going to be such a beautiful young lady when you’re older.’ I was 17 fucking years old,” she said in her statement.

Elgort most recently starred in “The Goldfinch” and is set to appear in the series “Tokyo Vice” for HBO Max and in Steven Spielberg’s film “West Side Story,” which is scheduled for December at 20th Century Studios and Disney. HBO Max declined to comment.
