On Monday Cheap Juan Iturbe Jersey , actress Kristina Cohen wrote in a Facebook post that actor Ed Westwick raped her three years ago.
Westwick, who gained fame for his role as Chuck Bass on The CW's "Gossip Girl," and currently stars on the BBC series "White Gold," denied Cohen's allegation in a tweet Tuesday.
"I do not know this woman," Westwick wrote. "I have never forced myself in any manner, on any woman. I certainly have never committed rape." Cohen's representative told Business Insider she had "no comment at this time" about Westwick's denial.
In Cohen's Facebook post Cheap Hector Moreno Jersey , she wrote that Westwick raped her in his home, which she visited with her then-boyfriend.
"I was woken up abruptly by Ed on top of me, his fingers entering my body," Cohen said. "I told him to stop, but he was strong. I fought him off as hard as I could but he grabbed my face in his hands, shaking me, telling me he wanted to f--- me. I was paralyzed Cheap Gregoire Defrel Jersey , terrified. I couldn’t speak, I could no longer move. He held me down and raped me."
But there's another story within this accusation: the question of journalistic responsibility, particularly in the social-media age.
Retractions and republications
With allegations of sexual harassment and assault pouring out of Hollywood against powerful men, often posted on social media, what is the correct level of scrutiny before reporting on claims that are already out in the open, proliferating on the internet?
On Monday and Tuesday, many publications posted stories about the rape accusation before Westwick or his representatives had made a comment Cheap Gerson Jersey , including Vanity Fair, HuffPost, Rolling Stone, Glamour, and Vulture.
But two publications, IndieWire and BuzzFeed News, ended up temporarily retracting their stories Cheap Federico Fazio Jersey , in a move that shows how tricky navigating this situation can be for a media company.
Late Monday night, IndieWire was the first outlet to report Cohen's accusation, with a note that his representatives weren't available for comment. On Tuesday morning, however, IndieWire deleted the article from the site. The page where the article existed now said, "Sorry, we couldn't find this page."
In response to a question about the removal of the story Cheap Emerson Jersey , IndieWire Editor-in-Chief Dana Harris told Business Insider via email, "We took down the story because I wasn't comfortable publishing until we'd made our own calls for comment." Harris also specified that the reporter who wrote the story is based on the East Coast, and she's based on the West Coast, so she didn't see the story until it was already live on the site.
Indiewire republished the story with Westwick's comment on Tuesday afternoon.
BuzzFeed News also temporarily retracted its article on the accusation against Westwick, after the post was originally published at 1:52 a.m. on Tuesday morning. BuzzFeed left a note on the article page that it had been removed for "failing to meet editorial standards."
Matt Mittenthal, spokesperson for Buzzfeed News, responded to Business Insider's request for comment with the following:
"The original version of this post did not meet the editorial standards we expect for stories about serious allegations of sexual assault and misconduct Cheap Edin Dzeko Jersey , including our bombshell reporting on Kevin Spacey, R Kelly, and other powerful individuals. We're continuing to investigate all sides of this story, and will update the post once we believe it is fair and rigorous."(Agencies)

The 25th anniversary APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will take place in Danang very soon, on November 10 and 11.
We greatly value the APEC forum for the ample opportunities it affords all participants to engage in discussions and coordinate positions on a variety of economic, social, environmental Cheap Diego Perotti Jersey , and cultural issues. Our countries strive to cooperate based on the principles of consensus and voluntary participation, mutual respect and willingness to compromise, regardless of the political situation. This is what APEC’s unique spirit of partnership is all about.
As a major Eurasian power with vast Far Eastern territories that boast significant potential, Russia has a stake in the successful future of the Asia-Pacific region, and in promoting sustainable and comprehensive growth throughout its entire territory. We believe that effective economic integration based on the principles of openness, mutual benefit and the universal rules of the World Trade Organisation is the primary means of achieving this goal.
We support the idea of forming an Asia-Pacific free trade area. We believe this is in our practical interest and represents an opportunity to strengthen our positions in the rapidly growing APR markets. I want to note that over the past five years, the share of APEC economies in Russia's foreign trade has increased from 23 to 31 percent Cheap Daniele De Rossi Jersey , and from 17 to 24 percent in exports. And we have no intention of stopping there.
Of course, the large-scale project to create the APEC free trade area should be carried out with due account of the experience gained from implementing key integration formats in the Asia-Pacific region and Eurasia, including the Eurasian Economic Union, in which Russia cooperates with Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Our union has been developing dynamically, and we are eager to build relations with all countries and associations that are interested in doing so. Vietnam Cheap Cengiz Under Jersey , the host of this year’s Forum, was the first state to sign a free trade agreement with the EAEU. As a result, our trade grew significantly and became more diversified. Talks on a trade and economic cooperation agreement with China c
