“I absolutely have not.”

Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick has responded after a second woman accused him of sexual assault.

The 30-year-old was first accused of rape by actress Kristina Cohen earlier this week, which he came forward to deny.

On Wednesday night, former actress Aurélie Wynn took to social media to issue a statement about an alleged incident that happened in the British actor’s rent house in 2014.

He took to social media on Thursday evening to deny the allegations, calling the claims “unverified and provably untrue”.

In a statement, he said:

“It is disheartening and sad to me that as a result of two unverified and provably untrue social media claims, there are some in this environment who could ever conclude I have had anything to do with such vile and horrific conduct.

“I absolutely have not, and I am cooperating with the authorities so that they can clear my name as soon as possible.”

In a lengthy Facebook post, Ms Wynn claimed that the actor assaulted her in July 2014.

In the post she said:

“In July 2014, I went through a very similar ordeal with Ed Westwick, I was ubered by Ed to the Glendower Estates where he was renting following an invite from a girl friend of mine who was dating his roommate a cast member on Glee.

“We all hung out until 5am, sun was starting to rise since it was summer so we all decided to get a few hours of shut eye since we all had events and things to do the next day and there are plenty of bedrooms.

“And like Kristina, I said no and he pushed me face down and was powerless under his weight.

“I was wearing a one piece bathing suit that he ripped, I was in complete shock, I am also very tiny.

“When it was over I got my cellphone and found that the girl that had invited me had left or got kicked out.”
