‘The View’ Defends Aziz Ansari: ‘Whatever Happened to Stop or I’m Going to Knock You in Your Nuts?’

The View Defends Aziz Ansari: ‘Whatever Happened to Stop or I’m Going to Knock You in Your Nuts?’ (Mediaite)

The View was fairly unanimous in its defense of comedian and actor Aziz Ansari Friday morning after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against him.

In a story posted on website Babe, a photographer described a date she went on with Ansari as “the worst night of my life.” She detailed how Ansari repeatedly tried to have sex with her after the two went back to his TriBeCa apartment after a date. The woman – who goes by the alias “Grace” in the story – says she gave several “verbal and non-verbal cues to indicate how uncomfortable and distressed she was” during the encounter.

The View called the account “confusing” on Tuesday’s episode and wondered why Grace had not been more direct with Ansari about how she was feeling.
