Sebastian Bear-McClard is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

The 42-year-old producer and ex-husband of Emily Ratajkowski is being accused of inappropriate conduct by multiple people, including a 24-year-old woman, who says she was 17 when the producer contacted her on Instagram to play a minor role in Good Time with the Safdie brothers, via Variety.

She was reportedly excited to meet the film’s star Robert Pattinson, but on the day of filming, she was naked and standing in front of “nearly a dozen male cast and crew members including Josh and Benny Safdie.”

Instead of performing in a scene with Robert, she was paired with an actor who had recently been released from prison before being hired for the film, according to the report.

In a statement to Variety, she says she “was utterly stunned and felt terrified. My distress only worsened when out of nowhere, [an actor] whispered in my ear if ‘he could stick it in’ while the cameras rolled. I said ‘no.’”
