Jessica Szohr recently revealed that she was taken aback by the accusations thrown at her "Gossip Girl" costar Ed Westwick.
Szohr, who played Vanessa Abrams in the now-defunct The CW series, revealed in an interview with Cosmopolitan that she was shocked with the allegations thrown at Westwick, who played the wealthy Chuck Bass opposite Leighton Meester's character, Blair Waldorf.
"I obviously ... wasn't there, for either side, so I can't say it did or didn't happen. But I know him well and I've known him for years, and I found it shocking. And I hope that it's untrue, but I also feel bad for anyone that's been in that situation, for the women that have to deal with that, for the situations that are true," Szohr explained.
She added that she already met with Westwick at the wake of the scandals and took note that he had been going through a lot, what with his BBC show "Ordeal By Innocence" getting some time off as well as his shooting for "White Gold."
Westwick was alleged by three women of sexually assaulting them. The first one was by actress Kristina Cohen, who narrated in a Facebook post that she was raped by the 30-year-old actor. Westwick denied the accusation on his Instagram account, claiming that he had no idea who Cohen was and maintained that he never raped anyone.
The second reported victim to come forward was Aurelie Marie Cao, or Aurelie Wynn in real life. She also claimed to have been raped by Westwick, but as was the first case, the actor denied this.
The third one to narrate her story was Rachel Eck, a creative producer, who claimed that she was groped by the actor.
