        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Penn Badgley is speaking out in the wake of <strong>sexual misconduct allegations against</strong> his former &#8220;You&#8221; co-star Chris D&#8217;Elia.</p><p>Badgley, 33, and D&#8217;Elia, 40, starred together on the second season of Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;You.&#8221; D&#8217;Elia, <strong>who has denied the claims</strong> that he preyed on underage women in the past, portrayed a beloved comedian who doubled as a sexual predator, drugging and assaulting underage girls.</p><p>“The idea that a show like ours would indirectly, unwittingly be a haven for people who are abusive is disturbing,&#8221; Badgley <strong>told the Los Angeles Times</strong>. &#8220;It’s very disturbing.&#8221;</p><p>In his denial of the allegations, D&#8217;Elia said he &#8220;never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point,&#8221; but his agent and manager both <strong>dropped him</strong>.</p><p>The former &#8220;Gossip Girl&#8221; star also called for policy change, saying the system often protects white people.</p><p>&#8220;And white men of a particular breed, who are successful and charismatic,&#8221; Badgley said. &#8220;I think that we need to remember that that is the level of change we’re looking for.&#8221;</p><p>Badgley also said &#8220;You&#8221; producers reached out to actress Jenna Ortega, who appeared in scenes opposite of D&#8217;Elia, after the allegations surfaced to make sure she felt safe.</p><p>Badgley joined comedians Whitney Cummings and Amy Schumer in addressing the accusations against D&#8217;Elia. Cummings, who starred opposite D&#8217;Elia on her show &#8220;Whitney,&#8221; said she was <strong>&#8220;devastated&#8221; by the claims</strong>.</p><p>&#8220;This is a pattern of predatory behavior. This abuse of power is enabled by silence. Now that I’m aware, I won’t be silent,” she wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “Girls should be able to be a fan of a comedian they admire without being a sexual target. It’s the adult’s responsibility to be an adult.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
