Ansel Elgort has responded to a Twitter post published on Friday morning, in which a woman accused the actor of sexually assaulting her when she was 17.

`I cannot claim to understand Gabby's feelings but her description of events is simply not what happened,` he wrote in an Instagram response on Saturday evening. After giving his interpretation of events, including a claim that `Gabby and I had a brief, legal and entirely consensual relationship,` Elgort apologized for his past actions, including how he broke up with her. `As I look back at my attitude, I am disgusted and deeply ashamed of the way I acted.`

A Twitter user with the handle @Itsgabby posted on Friday a since-deleted text note with the caption `my story of Ansel Elgort,` saying she was `sexually assaulted a couple days after I turned 17.` She wrote that she DMed Elgort and got his private Snapchat account, when she was `just a kid and was a fan of him,` and she didn't expect a response.

`So when it happened instead of asking me if I wanted to stop having sex knowing it was my first time and I was sobbing in pain and I didn't want to do it the only words that came out of his mouth were 'we need to break you in,'` she wrote. `I WASN'T there in that moment mentally. I disassociated myself and just felt like my mind was gone I was in shock.`
