She said it was “hurtful” and “disappointing” to have to answer for her colleague’s alleged sexual misconduct

While the movie’s rollout managed to go on largely untainted by those allegations, its female leads did not get off scot-free.
Elgort denied the initial sexual-assault accusation in a since-deleted Instagram post, writing that he had a “brief, legal, and entirely consensual relationship” with the Twitter user. He apologized for “ghosting” the teen as a means of ending their relationship, saying, “I am disgusted and deeply ashamed of the way I acted.” He did not address the subsequent allegations and later wiped his Instagram account.
The actor participated in group interviews but declined to do any press on his own, and his female co-stars — chief among them Zegler, who played his love interest in the movie — were the ones often asked about the allegations. At the time, Zegler and her castmates hedged. “We made a movie two and a half years ago, and a lot has gone on in the world since then,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in January.
I was being held accountable for accusations that not only had nothing to do with me but were made about a situation that was said to have occurred years prior to when I had met and worked with this person. With no thought to the fact that I was also 17 when I met this person, 17 when I worked with them, 17 and 18 when I had to do love scenes.
