It’s not for me to make those judgments.” Zegler, 20, who plays Elgort’s love interest in the musical revival, echoed those sentiments and addressed the scandal even more broadly.
A woman named Gabby who said she was a fan of the “Baby Driver” and “The Fault in Our Stars” actor posted her allegation on Twitter on June 19, 2020, according toGabby said in the now-deleted post that she “was just a kid” and it was her first time having sex. She alleged that she was “sobbing in pain” and instead of stopping, Elgort allegedly said, “We need to break you in.”
