Who Is Aurélie Wynn? Actress Accuses Ed Westwick Of Rape
Ed Westwick is facing another round of rape allegations.
Aurélie Wynn has come forward to accuse the "Gossip Girl" alum of sexually assaulting her. She is the second victim to allege that Westwick raped her after Kristina Cohen.
Who is Wynn? Wynn was a former actress who has the stage name Aurelie Marie Cao. She appeared in an episode of "The Mindy Project" and "Asian Boston." Her Instagram account profile also describes her as a model and brand ambassador. Wynn is from Paris but grew up in Boston. She is currently based in Los Angeles.
In a lengthy Facebook post shared on Wednesday, Wynn recalled being sexually assaulted by Westwick. According to her, the incident happened in August 2014 while they were at the Glendower Estates. Wynn was invited by a girlfriend who was dating Westwick's roommate, a cast member on "Glee."
"And like Kristina, I said no and he pushed me face down and was powerless under his weight. I was wearing a one piece bathing suit that he ripped, I was in complete shock, I am also very tiny," Wynn wrote. "When it was over I got my cellphone and found that the girl that had invited me had left or got kicked out. I had terrible service in the estate without access to the wifi and had to get another friend to get me an Uber out of there while Ed was passed out."
Westwick once again denied the second rape allegation. "It is disheartening and sad to me that as a result of two unverified and provable untrue social media claims, there are some in this environment who could ever conclude I have had anything to do with such vile and horrific conduct," the "Wicked City" actor wrote on Twitter. "I have absolutely not, and I am cooperating with the authorities so that they can clear my name as soon as possible."
Earlier this week, Westwick also denied Cohen's claim, stating that he has never even met her. However, two witnesses have come forward to support her allegations. According to Cohen's longtime friend, Blaise Godbe Lipman, and sister Katalina Colgate, they are aware of the incident because she told them about it right after it happened.
"[Cohen] came over to my home the following morning and told me everything," Lipman told Deadline. "She was in a state of shock. It was without a doubt a rape."
"Very shortly after it happened, she told me that she was raped. She told me and my other sister. I was furious," Colgate added.
