Joe Gatto, former star of Impractical Jokers<\/em>, has publicly denied allegations of sexual assault after a TikTok user accused him of misconduct following one of his shows in 2023.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Page Six<\/em>, Gatto directly addressed the claims, asserting that while he has made mistakes in his personal life, he would never assault anyone. \u201cI have used poor judgment and, as a result, have violated the trust of the people I love most,\u201d<\/em> he admitted. \u201cBut anyone who knows me at all knows full well that I wouldn\u2019t assault anyone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The TikTok user, known as Joozyb, posted a video alleging that she was sexually assaulted by Gatto after meeting him at a show in Milwaukee. She claimed that the incident occurred at a hotel where they went together, adding that she had been drinking at the time.<\/p>\n

In her video, she said, \u201cI got sexually assaulted by Joe Gatto, the \u2018Impractical Joker.\u2019\u201d<\/em> However, she did not provide specific details about the alleged encounter, only mentioning that \u201csome stuff happened\u201d<\/em> and that Gatto had sent her messages that started to feel \u201ca little weird.\u201d<\/em> To back up her claims, she included a photo of herself with Gatto after the show.<\/p>\n

At the time of the alleged incident, Gatto had reportedly reunited with his wife, further complicating the situation.<\/p>\n

Gatto also announced that he would be stepping away from the public eye for now, saying, \u201cWorking on myself is an ongoing process, and I am now going to take some time away from the public eye to focus my energies where I need to.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The accusation has sparked significant discussion online, with fans divided over the claims. So far, no further details or legal actions have been reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
