Mr. Ansari persistently tried to have penetrative sex with her, and Grace says she was deeply uncomfortable throughout.
At various points, she told the reporter, she attempted to voice her hesitation, and that Mr. Ansari ignored her signals.
She adds that “whether Ansari didn’t notice Grace’s reticence or knowingly ignored it is impossible for her to say.”
Yet Mr. Ansari, in a statement responding to Grace’s story, said that “by all indications” the encounter was “completely consensual.”.
Aziz Ansari sounds like he was aggressive and selfish and obnoxious that night.
The single most distressing thing to me about Grace’s story is that the only person with any agency in the story seems to be Aziz Ansari.
There is a useful term for what Grace experienced on her night with Mr. Ansari. »
