Comedian Joe Gatto has rejected allegations of sexual assault by a 19-year-old girl.
The Impractical jokers Alun, 48, turned to the case on Saturday, a day after a Tiktok user took his complaint online one day earlier.
“I have used poor judgment and, as a result, have violated the confidence of the people I love most,” the comedian told Page six in a statement.
He continued, “Anyone who knows me at all knows that I would not attack anyone.”
Gatto added that he would distance himself from the public eye “to focus my energies where I need.”
The woman who goes off joozyb on Tiktok sent a video on Friday and said, “I was sexually assaulted by Joe Gatto, The Impractical joker.“
She claimed the incident was taking place at a hotel after she met the cartoon at one of his shows in Milwaukee in September 2023.
The Tiktok user did not go into detail about the meeting and claim only in the video that “some things happened.”
However, the woman provided screenshots of a DM exchange via Instagram where Mystery Index Alun allegedly said he left “two meet and greet passports” to her at the ticket office.
She also appeared in her video a picture of her and her sister posing with Gatto Backstage.
She claimed they had a few more exchanges in the chat-as she added had “started to get a little weird.”
Gatto then said they put their DMS in the disappearance and gave her information about where he spent the night.
The woman concluded: “I’ve wanted to tell people this for so long.
Gatto shares two children Milana and Remington “Remo” with wife Bessy Gatto.
