A Brooklyn-based photographer has accused comedian and actor Aziz Ansari of sexual assault. The woman, who goes by the name ‘Grace’ provided a graphic account of her experience, which began with meeting Ansari, star of Netflix’s Master of None, at the 2017 Emmys and ended with her ‘crying alone in an Uber’.

She described the encounter, according to a report published in Uproxx, as the ‘worst experience with a man I’ve ever had’. The first-hand account was first published on Babe.net, under the title, ‘I went on a date with Aziz Ansari. It turned into the worst night of my life.’

Grace says she told Aziz to ‘slow down’ but the actor responded, “Where do you want me to f*** you?” She also says that Aziz coerced her into having oral sex.

Grace also shared the alleged text messages that she shared with Aziz the next day, when the actor asked her how the date was for her. “Last night might’ve been fun for you, but it wasn’t for me. You ignored clear non-verbal clues; you kept going with advances.” She continued, “I want to make sure you’re aware so maybe the next girl doesn’t have to cry on the ride home.” Ansari purportedly replied, “Clearly, I misread things in the moment and I’m truly sorry.”

Aziz has not responded to the allegations. He recently won a Golden Globe for his performance in Master of None, which included an episode featuring a prominent celebrity being accused of sexual harassment.
