Aziz Ansari announces first stand-up tour dates since sexual misconduct allegations
Stand-up comedian Aziz Ansari has just announced his first tour dates since January 2018, when he was accused of sexual misconduct by the anonymous subject of a report published on Babe.net. At the time, Ansari released a statement responding to the report’s assertions about a sexual encounter between himself and a woman identified as “Grace,” noting that, “It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.”
