The accusation surfaced on social media last week, as a woman named Gabby claimed in a since-deleted post that Elgort sexually assaulted her in 2014, when she was 17. The 26-year-old actor released a statement on Instagram on Saturday, writing that Gabby's "description of events is simply not what happened." "I was distressed to see the social media posts about me that have been circulating in the past 24 hours," Elgort began his post. "I cannot claim to understand Gabby's feelings but her description of events is simply not what happened. I have never and would never assault anyone." The Baby Driver star said "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." The age of consent in New York is 17. "Unfortunately, I did not handle the breakup well. I stopped responding to her, which is an immature and cruel thing to do to someone. I know this belated apology does not absolve me of my unacceptable behavior when I disappeared," he said. "As I look back at my attitude, I am disgusted and deeply ashamed of the way I acted. I am truly sorry. I know I must continue to reflect, learn and work to grow in empathy."
