One woman who went on a Tinder date with the popular 'All Gas No Brakes' and 'Channel5' host and filmmaker says he "wasn't taking a simple no for an answer".
“He’s trying to act like I blackmailed him when I was really just trying to remind him that I’m still here and still suffering,” she says. Caroline’s boyfriend also confirmed that she had told him about Callaghan in the spring of 2021, a few months after that night in her home. “I internalized a lot of disgust and anger at the situation,” she says, adding that her mother bought her a new comforter because she didn’t want to sleep in her own bed afterward. “People who wouldn’t have talked to me at the bar were kissing my ass.” At the bar, she says, Callaghan tried to kiss her, and she says she politely turned him down. Charlotte’s ex-boyfriend, whom she told about the encounter with Callaghan in 2016, tells Rolling Stone that Charlotte told him Callaghan “was kind of aggressive.” Callaghan appeared to be in distress, telling her that he had had a falling-out with a crew member, she says, and asked if he could stay at her place, which she agreed to. In their statement to TMZ, Callaghan’s lawyer alleged that one of the accusers had attempted to extort Callaghan. having a “full-blown panic attack,” she kicked Callaghan out of her apartment a few hours later. “He was very pushy and not taking no for an answer,” she says. But in 2016, she agreed to go out for coffee with him, with the two returning to the apartment he was staying at, she says, to drink wine and watch a movie. “He kept insisting that I needed to ‘get him off’ because I was giving him ‘blue balls’ by not having sex with him.” She approached Callaghan, who was with a woman who appeared to be his girlfriend, as a fan of his content.
Earlier this month, two women came forward on social media and accused the Channel 5 YouTuber of pressuring them into sexual encounters.
The user drove a little farther and then said she decided to stop the car abruptly and told him again to get out of the vehicle. But it's just a movie, and I want to say we believe these women that came forward and, of course, totally condemn the type of behavior that Andrew's being accused of. "I told him to get out of my car again. — a question she claims he repeated "probably five more times" throughout the meal and that she continuously shut down. "I said I'm tired, I'm not really feeling it, I came up with any excuse that I possibly could to just get him off of me, and he still found a way to coerce me into things that I didn't want to do." After that incident, the woman said that he messaged her to hang out again, but she declined. "He was holding me tightly." She said she declined the offer and asked him again if there was anything else he wanted to say, to which she said he responded, "Oh yeah, sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. I in no way expected him to actually send me money, and when I made that TikTok I wasn’t even thinking about this text. Elise showed BuzzFeed News a text message that she says she sent to Callaghan on Dec. "With that, balanced communication is paramount to any relationship dynamic and Andrew vows to be better in this regard, while reminding his audience that while even one concerned partner is too many, there are always multiple sides to a story," the statement reads. "Andrew is devastated that he is being accused of any type of physical or mental coercion against anyone," Callaghan's legal representative said in a statement sent to BuzzFeed News on Friday.
The response comes after two women accused the “All Gas No Brakes” star of sexual coercion and sexual assault in TikTok videos. Andrew Callaghan in "This ...
“We did produce the movie, and I feel terrible that this film now has these allegations tied to it because some very good people worked very hard on it,” he said of the documentary. We have no professional relationship with Andrew at this time and have no plans going forward to have any relationship with him.” “So I will tell you that he did eventually get consent, and that’s the main point is that he eventually got consent because he wore me down.” A spokesperson for A24 did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday. “Andrew vows to be better in this regard, while reminding his audience that while even one concerned partner is too many, there are always multiple sides to a story,” the representative said. The posts made their way to Twitter, YouTube and Reddit, where fans of Callaghan expressed shock and disappointment regarding the allegations.
Allegations came first from Caroline Elise, who posted a three-minute video on TikTok Jan. 5 where she describes an experience she had with Callaghan in 2021.
They added, “With that, balanced communication is paramount to any relationship dynamic and Andrew vows to be better in this regard, while reminding his audience that while even one concerned partner is too many, there are always multiple sides to a story. Like Elise and @moldyfreckle, she alleges Callaghan tried to pressure her into sex and “wasn’t taking a simple no for an answer.” Before going into the details, she explains that she had “tried to come to [Callaghan] person-to-person and tried to get him to take responsibility for what he did, but his version of what happened the night he assaulted me is so skewed.” “Andrew is devastated that he is being accused of any type of physical or mental coercion against anyone. “I told him no so many times prior to this,” she says. “I will tell you that he eventually did get consent,” she says.
The media personality, best known as the host of Channel 5, responds to the accusations.
When she tried to drive him home, she alleges that Callaghan began groping her and tried to put her hand down his pants. Andrew is fully committed to working with the appropriate professionals to better understand himself and ways he can grow and improve as a human being, especially with his growing platform and the vulnerabilities it brings." She alleges that Callaghan "repeatedly asked me and pressured me into having sex or giving him a blowjob" until she eventually did. She insisted that she wanted to remain friends and did not want to have sex with him. And it’s just been very sad and just disappointing, to say the least. He asked to see her once more and she blocked him. Afterward, she said that she went to a house party with Callaghan and some friends. She ran into Callaghan once more after returning to Seattle a week later, alleging that he became "touchy" again. He was pleading with me to go with him. “He wasn’t taking a simple no for an answer, and consequently, it turned into me trying to make up an array of excuses as to why I didn’t want to have sex,” she told Rolling Stone. Her ex-boyfriend also confirmed that she told him about the incident in 2017. She agreed to get coffee with him and then return to his apartment to drink wine and watch a movie.
His lawyer won't let us publish her response on his behalf.
Callaghan responded by saying “ya I didn't think yesterday was uncomfortable" and that he was also “drunk as f in New York” before sending a heart message along with a request to see her again. For years I have tried to write this off as an incident in which I gave Andrew the benefit of the doubt—that he was some dumb 19-year-old that didn’t have any grasp at the concept of consent yet, and that hopefully he had grown up and learned better. “I stood up and just walked out of there and went straight to the train. I yelled at him and told him to go away, I was like, ‘Leave me alone.’ He did leave and I feel like part of the reason he did was because there were other people on the platform that heard me screaming at him.” Later, in the summer of 2016, when she was 18 and Callaghan was 19, she said she matched with him on the dating app Tinder. “At first, he’s a very charismatic person and easy to get along with,” Jane said. He wasn’t taking a simple no for an answer, and consequently it turned into me trying to make up an array of excuses as to why I didn’t want to have sex. “From the jump, I was caught off guard by how quickly the tone of the evening shifted. When the situation happened with Andrew years later, I was immediately brought back to that moment when I was a child. “This is something that Andrew has to address.” “With that, balanced communication is paramount to any relationship dynamic and Andrew vows to be better in this regard, while reminding his audience that while even one concerned partner is too many, there are always multiple sides to a story. The Stranger spoke to one of those women and two others who have yet to come forward publicly.

They added, “With that, balanced communication is paramount to any relationship dynamic and Andrew vows to be better in this regard, while reminding his audience that while even one concerned partner is too many, there are always multiple sides to a story. “While every dynamic is open to interpretation and proper communication is critical from all those involved, repeated requests for money should not be part of these conversations.” Speaking on his Office Hours podcast this week, Heidecker stated that he and Wareheim are “aware of the allegations, we take them very seriously, and it’s just been very sad and disappointing to say the least… And I really hope he does do that as soon as possible.” Callaghan, who co-produced his movie with [Tim Heidecker](https://decider.com/tim-heidecker) and Eric Wareheim and A24, saw his partnership with the creators come to an abrupt end after recent [sexual misconduct allegations](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/andrew-callaghan-sexual-misconduct-allegations-1234659512/) against him.

The Daily Beast has reviewed a text sent to Callaghan from one of his alleged victims.
The woman “came forward to support the other woman and hopefully stop any others from being hurt,” the source said. “I just want you to know that seeing friends of mine promote your new show, which I’m not discounting came with a lot of hard work, hurts me in ways I wish you could feel sometimes.” The timing of the message, the alleged victim wrote, was related to the then-upcoming release of This Place Rules. He pressured me to the point where I did give in.” “I remember repeatedly telling him that I just wanted to be friends and that I didn’t want to take it to that point anymore,” she says in the video, “and he repeatedly asked me and pressured me into having sex and into giving him a blowjob. “He proceeded to put his hand down my pants, and I told him to stop [and] get off me multiple times.”
