One of the protagonists of the popular series "Gossip Girl", o Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass in the series), is accused of rape by the actress Kristina cohen, who described in detail the violent incident in a post on Facebook, last Monday.
Cohen claims that Westwick raped her three years ago, when she first met him in his apartment where she had visited him with her then partner.
The young actress describes that the atmosphere was uncomfortable from the beginning, as Westwick commented that it would be a good idea to "get everyone together". Cohen asked her partner, who was a producer and friend of Westwick, to leave, but he told her they would stay for another 20 minutes to avoid misunderstandings. Having said - as a pretext for them to leave - that she was tired, Westwick suggested that she go to bed at his apartment, as she did.
"I woke up abruptly to Ed, who was on top of me, with his fingers inserted into my body," Cohen describes. "I told him to stop, but he was strong. I fought as hard as I could but he grabbed my face with his hands, shaking me and telling me he wanted to fuck me. I was paralyzed, I was terrified. I could not speak, I could not move anymore. "He immobilized me and raped me," Cohen wrote.
When she later told her fellow producer what had happened, he "blamed me for telling me I was actively involved," Cohen wrote. In fact, as he narrates, he told her that he should not talk to anyone about it, because Ed would make his people destroy her and then he would have to forget her career as an actress. In fact, as Cohen claims, the producer told her that she should not go and say left and right that Ed "raped" her because "she does not want to be" this girl ".
"I feel disgusted to see men like Ed enjoying public respect," Cohen wrote at the end. They are interviewed by reputable platforms such as the Oxford Union Society of Oxford University, where he was honored as one of the "People Who Shaped Our World". How will this end? "Men like Ed use their fame and power to rape and intimidate but continue to collect rewards."
