What Happened To Aziz Ansari? Sexual Assault Allegations
Since the sexual harassment claims against him four years ago, which he denied, Aziz’s career has been dramatically reduced.
Ansari began a new stand-up tour called “The Road to Nowhere” in February 2019, marking his official public return following sexual misconduct allegations and media reaction. He took a year off from his career in 2018.
The performance was a reaction to the events of the previous year, and it covered a wide range of issues, including cultural appropriation, racism, and sexual misconduct.
In a January 2018 piece on Babe.net, a website aimed at Millennial and Gen-Z readers, a woman using the pseudonym “Grace” accused Ansari of sexual misconduct.
According to the post, the woman later texted Ansari to convey her dissatisfaction, and he apologized.
In the media, there was debate over whether the incident described in the Babe piece constituted sexual misconduct.
Some people agreed with Ansari, who said the meeting was “totally consensual by all indicators.” Others claimed his behaviors were misogynistic, lacked affirmative consent, and were indicative of a larger culture of damaging masculine expectations.
Others argue that Ansari’s actions were not sexual misconduct and that his accuser’s story trivializes the # MeToo movement against sexual harassment.

Aziz Ansari is now based in London. Aziz’s admirers are curious as to where he lives.
In 2020, the comedian appeared to be quarantined in London, United Kingdom, with his partner, Danish physicist Serena Skov Campbel.
He has a home in Tribeca, New York, and Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood.
