'Workaholics' Episode Featuring Chris D'Elia As Molester Removed From Hulu, Amazon

Streaming giants like Hulu and Amazon Prime Video decided to delete one of the episodes of the critically acclaimed series “Workaholics” that featured Chris D’Elia after multiple women came forward and accused him of sexual misconduct.

According to Deadline, an episode in which D’Elia plays a child molester has been removed from Hulu and Amazon Prime Video, which originally aired in 2011. He portrayed a character named Topher in the eighth episode of season one.

According to IMDb, the synopsis of that particular episode reads: “A local child molester attracts the guys’ attention, but not, as it turns out, for the reason they expected.” Other stars who were part of the episode were Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, Anders Holm, and Jillian Bell.

Apart from Hulu and Amazon, Comedy Central also took the decision to remove the controversial episode from all of its platforms. A spokesperson for Comedy Central confirmed with Variety that the episode is no longer streaming on any of the network’s platforms.

The decision comes after several girls on social media accused the actor and comedian of sexual misconduct. A user named Simone Rossi released a series of screenshots on June 15 representing a conversation between herself and a person who appeared to be D’Elia. Rossi tweeted that she was only 16 when D’Elia approached her on the micro-blogging website.

“Imagine being 16 and being groomed by a stand-up comedian twice ur age and the only reason you never met up and never got physically m*lested was because u had just gotten a boyfriend ur own age,” Rossi wrote.

Rossi’s tweet went viral and numerous women joined her with similar allegations against the actor, many of whom did it anonymously. A user accused the comedian of exposing himself to the hotel staff.

The actor has denied all the allegations and claimed that he never harassed or groomed underage girls on social media. In a statement obtained by TMZ, D'Elia noted that he might have done things to offend people, but he has never knowingly preyed on underage women.

“All of my relationships have been both legal and consensual and I have never met or exchanged any inappropriate photos with the people who have tweeted about me. I really am truly sorry,” D’Elia said.

He insisted that there was no truth in the allegations.
