        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actress Megan Drust has accused comedian Chris D&#8217;Elia of exposing himself.</p><p>Drust <strong>claimed to CNN</strong> in an article published Wednesday that in 2011 D&#8217;Elia, 40, asked her for a ride home from a restaurant, but Drust didn&#8217;t end up driving him because when they got in the car he allegedly unzipped his pants and showed her his penis.</p><p>&#8220;I said, &#8216;Sure.&#8217; This was really before everyone was taking Ubers and I had marked him as safe, which equals a non-threatening male,&#8221; Drust told CNN. &#8220;He was friends with some of my friends, I had met him before. That&#8217;s what you do, at least that&#8217;s what I did, you mark certain people as safe.&#8221;</p><p>Once they entered the car, Drust claimed the &#8220;You&#8221; actor tried to make &#8220;flirty small talk&#8221; before allegedly asking her to touch his genitals.</p><p>&#8220;I was very confused because it just didn&#8217;t fit the moment,&#8221; she recalled. &#8220;Then he took down his zipper and asked me to touch him and I said, &#8216;What are you doing? No.&#8217; And because I wouldn&#8217;t touch him, he started to masturbate. I couldn&#8217;t believe it.&#8221;</p><p>Feeling uneasy, Drust says she exited her car but still felt unnerved by D&#8217;Elia and his actions. He then exited the car before walking away, she claims. Drust recounted the ordeal to two friends, who confirmed the account to CNN.</p><p>&#8220;D&#8217;Elia denies these allegations and emphatically states that he has never engaged in any sexual conduct with any woman without her consent,&#8221; D&#8217;Elia&#8217;s attorney, Andrew Brettler, told Page Six in a statement on Wednesday.</p><p>Two other women, one of whom asked to remain anonymous, also told CNN that D&#8217;Elia exposed himself to them shortly before or on days he was set to perform a stand-up show. In one instance, one woman was working as a manager at the Kimpton Schofield Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, where she says D&#8217;Elia was a guest in 2018.</p><p>D&#8217;Elia allegedly called to complain that the air conditioner wasn&#8217;t working, and as she was working as the overnight manager at the time and the electrician wasn&#8217;t on duty, she went to help.</p><p>&#8220;When I knocked on the door, he opened the door and he was completely naked,&#8221; the woman told CNN. &#8220;I was surprised, and I was annoyed that I just came all the way up just so he could expose himself to me.&#8221;</p><p>She said she turned and left his room without saying a word.</p><p>The third alleged victim, Laura Vitarelli, who first came forward in June with allegations to the Los Angeles Times, told CNN that D&#8217;Elia exposed himself to her and a friend in 2015, when she was 19 years old. She and her friend had exchanged numbers with D&#8217;Elia following his show. They claim he invited them to a party.</p><p>&#8220;He gave us the address and we went,&#8221; Vitarelli said. &#8220;It turned out to be his hotel.&#8221;</p><p>Upon arriving at his room, she said D&#8217;Elia asked them to put their phones in a basket.</p><p>&#8220;There was no sign of a party at all,&#8221; Vitarelli said. &#8220;He said he was going to make us drinks and her and I were both a little nervous just because it really didn&#8217;t look like he was about to throw a party. There was nobody else there.&#8221;</p><p>Vitarelli said she and her friend began feeling nervous and &#8220;deceived,&#8221; and when they all sat down on the couch with some drinks, D&#8217;Elia allegedly began groping them, which prompted them to leave the hotel, CNN reported.</p><p>&#8220;He got up with us and followed us to the door and said, &#8216;Are you sure you want to leave?&#8217; And he pulled out his penis and it was fully erect,&#8221; Vitarelli told CNN. &#8220;It was very uncomfortable for the both of us, and we knew we had to get out of there so we left as fast as we could.&#8221;</p><p>Vitarelli&#8217;s friend confirmed the account but asked to remain anonymous. Vitarelli has hired attorney Jay Ellwanger and is pursuing a civil complaint.</p><p>In June, D&#8217;Elia was accused of <strong>preying on underage girls</strong> online. He <strong>denied the allegations</strong> shortly thereafter, stating he “never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point,” but admitted to being a &#8220;dumb guy.&#8221;</p><p>D&#8217;Elia since has been <strong>dropped by CAA</strong>.</p><p>Whitney Cummings, who worked with D’Elia on her NBC series “Whitney,” <strong>spoke out against him</strong> when the allegations first came to light. Cummings described what she read about D’Elia as a “pattern of predatory behavior.”</p><p>D&#8217;Elia&#8217;s team later <strong>released his emails</strong> between him and his accusers exclusively to Page Six to paint a better picture of what allegedly occurred between him and his accusers.</p>]]></content:encoded>
