A woman has come forward to say that she was sexually assaulted by Ed Westwick.
This is the third woman to make these claims against the Gossip Girl actor. Rachel Eck, who was an executive assistant at the time, has spoken to Buzzfeed about the incident.
In 2014 she was invited to a hotel by her then-boyfriend, the night before the Academy Awards in Hollywood. He said that Ed Westwick would also be there and she was instructed to bring a female friend. When she showed up by herself, she said Ed ‘turned his sights’ on her.
Throughout the course of the night, Rachel said that Ed made advances towards her whenever her boyfriend left the room and sometimes even tried to push her up against the wall to kiss her.
Even though Rachel kept reminding Ed that she had a boyfriend, she says that he kept trying and even got more ‘handsy’.
After repeated advances, she told her boyfriend who dismissed the allegations and said that Ed wouldn’t do that. But, at one point in the night, she said Ed pulled her onto the bed and “aggressively groped” her.
She pushed him off and decided to leave.
Rachel’s allegations follow similar ones made against the Gossip Girl actor by Kristina Cohen and Aurélie Wynn. They both said that Ed made inappropriate advances towards them, with Aurélie saying the actor raped her.
