Horatio Sanz Accused of Sexual Assault in Lawsuit
Seven Episodes of Comedy Bang Podcast Pulled Amid Allegations
Accuser Alleges Assault Occurred in 2019
Los Angeles, California - A lawsuit recently filed against comedian Horatio Sanz alleges sexual assault. The accuser, an unnamed woman, claims the incident occurred in the summer of 2019 in Sanz's New York City apartment. According to the complaint, Sanz assaulted the woman after inviting her to his home following a taping of "Comedy Bang! Bang!"
In response to the allegations, Earwolf, the production company behind "Comedy Bang! Bang!", has pulled seven episodes of the podcast featuring Sanz. The company stated that it takes the allegations very seriously and will cooperate with any investigation.
Sanz has denied the allegations, calling them "false and defamatory." He is currently scheduled to appear in court for a hearing on the lawsuit. The case is expected to draw significant attention due to Sanz's high-profile status in the entertainment industry.
The allegations against Sanz come amidst a broader cultural reckoning regarding sexual misconduct. In the wake of the #MeToo movement, many powerful men have been accused of sexual assault and other inappropriate behavior. The allegations against Sanz serve as a reminder that sexual misconduct can occur in any industry, regardless of a person's fame or position.
