I have never and would never assault anyone," Elgort wrote about the accusations.

The only words that came out of his mouth were, ‘We need to break you in.'"
Elgort responded on Saturday with his version of the events in a post shared to Instagram.
“I cannot claim to understand Gabbys feelings but her description of events is simply not what happened.
I have never and would never assault anyone.”
Unfortunately, I did not handle the breakup well.
I stopped responding to her, which is an immature and cruel thing to do to someone.
I know this belated apology does not absolve me of my unacceptable behavior when I disappeared, he continued.
As I look back at my attitude, I am disgusted and deeply ashamed of the way I acted.
I am truly sorry.
I know I must continue to reflect, learn, and work to grow in empathy.
Gabby’s openness encouraged other alleged victims of Elgort’s to share their experiences on social media.
TheBaby Driverstar did not address any of the other allegations in his statement.
