Mumbai: After the infamous Harvey Weinstein case, comedian Aziz Ansari has now been accused of sexual assault.

According to reports and statement from the girl he went on a date with last year, Aziz ‘forced’ her to have sex with him and the date didn’t really end like she had planned. She went on to saying that he took no notice of her signals that apparently made it very clear that she was not comfortable.

Aziz recently gave a statement to People magazine reacting to the controversy and said that all the sexual activity between the two was consensual. The statement read, “The next day, I got a text from her saying that although ‘it may have seemed okay,’ upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.”

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the case:
