Warning: The following article contains allegations of sexual misconduct that some readers may find upsetting.
Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick has denied rape allegations from actress Kristina Cohen.
Responding to the allegations on Instagram, Westwick wrote: 'I do not know this woman. I have never forced myself in any manner, on any woman. I certainly have never committed rape.'
Cohen had alleged in a Facebook post on Monday (November 6th) that Westwick forced himself on her when she visited his house three years ago.
'I went and laid down in the guest room where I eventually fell asleep, I was woken up abruptly by Ed on top of me... I fought him off as hard as I could,' she alleged.
'I was paralysed, terrified. I couldn't speak, I could no longer move. He held me down and raped me. It was a nightmare, and the days following weren't any better.'
Westwick is set to star in the BBC's big Agatha Christie Christmas special, Ordeal By Innocence.
