A third woman has come forward to accuse Ed Westwick of sexually assaulting her.
Rachel Eck told BuzzFeed in a story posted online on Tuesday, November 14, that the Gossip Girl actor assaulted her the night before the Academy Awards in 2014, after they were introduced by her ex-boyfriend, Australian film producer Kaine Harling.
A 23-year-old executive assistant at the time, Eck arrived at a villa at the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood at about 2:30 a.m. to meet up with Harling and Westwick.
The British actor asked her to invite a friend to hang out with them but when she didn’t, because it was late and her friends were all asleep, “he turned his sights on me,” Eck told the website.
She claims that when Harling left the room, which happened several times over the course of seven hours, Westwick would “try to kiss me or kind of push me up against a wall.”
She pushed him off and told Westwick that she was dating Harling, but as the hours went on “it got worse and more handsy.” Eck claims that when she told her boyfriend about it, he brushed it off.
She finally decided to leave but claims Westwick wanted to apologize to her first, and she went into his bedroom to hear what he had to say.
“Ed then pulled me onto the bed and aggressively groped” her breasts, she said. “I shoved him off as quickly as I could and left.”
