Brian Jordan Alvarez Denies Former Co-Star's Sexual Assault Allegations, Says Their Relationship Was 'Entirely Consensual'

The English Teacher creator and star Brian Jordan Alvarez is denying the sexual assault allegations being made against him by former friend and co-star Jon Ebeling.

Brian and Jon worked together on the digital series The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, which aired on YouTube back in 2016. Stephanie Koenig, who stars on The English Teacher with Brian, also was part of the show and the friends group.

The web-series allegedly mirrored what was happening between Brian, Jon, and Stephanie in real lie.

Vulture reported, “The plot of the first few episodes drew from the romantic triad that existed among them in real life; Ebeling had a crush on Koenig, and she liked him back, while Alvarez had a crush on Ebeling… A major plot point is a sexual encounter between Caleb and Billy that occurs after Billy and Karen have sex for the first time. It is a nearly beat-for-beat reenactment of what transpired among the three actors off set.”

Jon claims that he was pressured by Brian to have sex with him and alleges that Brian sexually assaulted him while they were shooting the scene for the show.

Brian is now responding to the claims.

A spokesperson for Brian told TheWrap, “Brian Jordan Alvarez’s interactions with Jon Ebeling were always entirely consensual – as numerous witnesses have attested. Indeed, in 2018, two years after this alleged incident, Mr. Ebeling himself unambiguously said as much on tape. For many months, Mr. Ebeling has peddled his falsehoods to anyone who would listen but, when confronted with proof of his duplicity and definitive evidence provided by third parties showing why Mr. Ebeling should not be trusted, numerous media outlets declined to print his outrageous claims. Sadly, New York Magazine displayed no such judgment in its reckless headlong pursuit of publishing a salacious, attention-grabbing article, no matter the truth.”

“As well as minimizing Mr. Ebeling’s taped admission that his relationship with Brian had always been consensual, New York Magazine entirely ignored first-hand testimony about Mr. Ebeling’s history as a perpetrator of scarring acts of assault. That’s beyond disappointing and is a deeply troubling reflection on New York Magazine’s ethics — and anyone tempted to republish Mr. Ebeling’s claims should be aware of the risks involved in doing so. Brian is currently taking legal advice as he considers his next steps,” the statement added.
