There are a lot of sexual misconduct allegations flying around over the past week or so and they run the gamut of believability. On the low end of that scale is a little flurry of anonymous social media allegations against the stars of Riverdale, specifically KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, and Lili Reinhart. The trio is reportedly looking into suing the people making the accusations if they can find them, and two of the accounts making allegations have already been deleted or suspended.
Sprouse responded to the allegations on Twitter.
Earlier today myself and three other cast mates were falsely accused of sexual offense by anonymous accounts on twitter. I take these accusations very seriously, and will be working with the right teams to get to the root of it. (1)

False accusations do tremendous damage to victims of actual assault. Furthermore, I would never seek to silence anybody. I encourage that people look into the accusations themselves, as the events detailed were factually untrue.
This seems to be the latest claim in a series of incidents seeking to baselessly cancel my cast mates and me.

Reinhart also responded, saying “I have always taken sexual assault allegations seriously. But it was proven that this account was created specifically to create false stories about me and my cast. I can’t think of something more twisted than lying about sexual assault. ”
KJ Apa didn’t even bother to dignify the accusations with a response.
