Brian Jordan Alvarez is speaking out on recent allegations.
The English Teacher creator and star has been accused of sexually assaulting his The Gay and Wonderous Life of Caleb Gallo costar Jon Ebeling while filming the 2016 web series, according to Ebeling’s police report filed Sept. 1 and obtained by E! News Dec. 17.
Ebeling made allegations in an article published by New York Magazine’s Vulture Dec. 17, about two times he said that Alvarez pressured or forced sexual acts with him during their friendship, once at Ebeling’s apartment and once on the set of their series, which Alvarez, 37, wrote, directed and starred in.
However, Alvarez’s representatives vehemently denied the accusation, emphasizing that their interactions were “always entirely consensual—as numerous witnesses have attested.”
“Indeed, in 2018, two years after this alleged incident, Mr. Ebeling himself unambiguously said as much on tape,” a spokesperson for Alvarez told E! News in a statement. “For many months, Mr. Ebeling has peddled his falsehoods to anyone who would listen but, when confronted with proof of his duplicity and definitive evidence provided by third parties showing why Mr. Ebeling should not be trusted, numerous media outlets declined to print his outrageous claims.”
