Brian Jordan Alvarez Accused of Sexual Assault

Brian Jordan Alvarez, creator and star of the comedy series 'English Teacher', faces sexual assault allegations from former collaborator Jon Ebeling, who claims the incident occurred while filming their web series 'The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo' in 2016. Ebeling alleges that during a scene meant to simulate oral sex, Alvarez performed the act without his consent, describing the experience as 'rape'. Ebeling filed a police report with the LAPD and a complaint with the Screen Actors Guild in September. Alvarez has denied the allegations, asserting that all interactions were consensual and that Ebeling had previously consented to similar acts. The situation has drawn attention due to the parallels between the show's plot and the real-life events, with Ebeling previously hinting at the assault in a social media post. The controversy emerges as 'English Teacher' receives critical acclaim, complicating Alvarez's public persona and career.
