Filmmaker and actor Benny Safdie is speaking about about sexual misconduct allegations lodged against Sebastian Bear-McClard, who was a producer on Safdie’s “Uncut Gems”.

A March 2023 exposé in Variety detailed the allegations of several women — all of whom were underage at the time of the alleged incidents; Bear-McClard is in the midst divorcing Emily Ratajkowski.

In a new feature for GQ promoting his acting role in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”, Safdie shared his opinions of the allegations made against Bear-McClard.
