Back in June 2020, a Twitter user named Gabby wrote in a now-deleted tweet that the 'Baby Driver' actor 'sexually assaulted me when I was 17,' though he vehemently denied.

AceShowbiz - The stars of "West Side Story" finally addressed the sexual assault allegations leveled at their co-star Ansel Elgort. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rachel Zegler, Rita Moreno and Ariana DeBose shared their thoughts on the allegations.

Moreno stated that she refused to make "judgements" on the accusations, which Elgort has previously denied. "I think it would have been absolutely horrendous and wrong for anyone to take sides in that matter," she explained. "It's not for me to make those judgments."

DeBose appeared to echo the sentiment. "Nobody really knows what's going on in anyone's head. Only the people who were involved in that situation know what actually went down," the actress, who recently made her hosting debut on "Saturday Night Live", said.

As for Zegler, who played the love interest of Elgort's character in Steven Spielberg's beloved musical adaptation, noted that "a lot has gone on in the world" in the time since they originally all shot the film together.

"We made a movie two and a half years ago, and a lot has gone on in the world since then," she divulged. "A lot has changed very publicly, and privately as well. There's been a lot of awakening."

She continued, "You just hope that the people involved are OK, that they are asked in a respectful manner and that they are given the opportunity to answer for themselves."

Back in June 2020, a Twitter user named Gabby wrote in a now-deleted tweet that the "Baby Driver" actor "sexually assaulted me when I was 17." Elgort vehemently denied the claims.

"I have never and would never assault anyone," he said in a statement. "What is true is that in New York in 2014, when I was 20, Gabby and I had a brief, legal and entirely consensual relationship."
