Jon alleges that Brian coerced him into sexual exercise and claims Brian sexually assaulted him throughout the filming of their scene collectively. Brian has now addressed these accusations.
A spokesperson representing Brian advised TheWrap, “Brian Jordan Alvarez’s interactions with Jon Ebeling have been at all times solely consensual – as quite a few witnesses have attested. Certainly, in 2018, two years after this alleged incident, Mr. Ebeling himself unambiguously stated as a lot on tape. For a lot of months, Mr. Ebeling has peddled his falsehoods to anybody who would pay attention however, when confronted with proof of his duplicity and definitive proof offered by third events exhibiting why Mr. Ebeling shouldn’t be trusted, quite a few media shops declined to print his outrageous claims.

“In addition to minimizing Mr. Ebeling’s taped admission that his relationship with Brian had at all times been consensual, New York Journal solely ignored first-hand testimony about Mr. Ebeling’s historical past as a perpetrator of scarring acts of assault. That is past disappointing and is a deeply troubling reflection on New York Journal‘s ethics — and anybody tempted to republish Mr. Ebeling’s claims ought to pay attention to the dangers concerned in doing so. Brian is at the moment taking authorized recommendation as he considers his subsequent steps,” the assertion added.
