He was accused of sexual assault in 2020
As soon as she saw his name, Katherine Fiore Tigerman broke out in a cold sweat. Her shirt damp, she scrolled through the text messages from her best friend alerting her that comedian Chris DElia was being accused of sexual misconduct by scores of women on Twitter. Shed never watched the comics stand-up. She just knew that he was the best friend of Bryan Callen, a fellow comedian and actor. And Callen, shed long told those closest to her, had once raped her.
Lightheaded, she logged onto Twitter to scan the allegations. She found that many of the tweets referred not just to DElias supposed misconduct but to that of his tight circle of male comedians.
My first thought was: Is something going to happen with Bryan? Tigerman recalled. Reading all the comments, I thought: Here it comes. Ive known how terrible this person is for 20 years. And maybe Im not the only one.
In a statement to The Times, Callen adamantly denied raping Tigerman and said that their encounter was consensual.

He asks her for a ride, then he takes his penis out in her car. She says she screamed.
Then she talks about when they "hooked up" - " I figured I'd have to have sex with him to get him to leave because he doesn't taken no for an answer"
She then says you don't listen to no - He agrees.
The host says that sexual assault
They are all yukking it up as if this is just all normal.
