‘Master’ Aziz pressured me into ‘gross’ sex

- Kate Feldman Rachel DeSantis

A PHOTOGRAPH­ER claims that “Master of None” creator Aziz Ansari pressured her into a sex act after the two met at the Emmy Awards in September.

The 23-year-old Brooklyn woman, identified only as “Grace,” told Babe.net that a week after the Emmys in Los Angeles, she and Ansari (photo), 34, went on a date in Manhattan, then back to his Tribeca apartment.

“In a second, his hand was on my breast,” Grace told Babe.

She also claimed that he pressured her into giving him oral sex. She finally left after more “gross, forceful kisses.”

“I know I was physically giving off cues that I wasn’t interested,” she told Babe.

In a screenshot of text messages allegedly sent between the two, Grace wrote she felt “uncomforta­ble” and “uneasy.”

Ansari confirmed the details in a statement to Deadline.

“I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said,” he wrote. ELIZA DUSHKU’S disturbing account of her sexual assault on the set of 1994’s “True Lies” was met with a chorus of support Sunday from co-star Jamie Lee Curtis and her former agent.

Dushku (photo), 37, alleged Saturday that she was molested by stunt coordinato­r Joel Kramer, then 36, in a hotel room when she was just 12 and filming in Miami.

Curtis, who played the actress’ mother in the film, penned a guest column for HuffPost divulging that Dushku had long ago confided to her.

“(Dushku) had shared that story with me privately a few years ago. I was shocked and saddened then and still am today,” Curtis wrote.

JoAnne Colonna, Dushku’s agent at the time, told Deadline she had reported the alleged assault to an executive producer and the casting director. "Nobody really did anything," she said.

Kramer, whose résumé includes “Blade Runner 2049,” denied the accusation to the Daily News on Saturday.
