“The idea that a show like ours would indirectly, unwittingly be a haven for people who are abusive is disturbing. It’s very disturbing,” Badgley, 33, told the Los Angeles Times' podcast "Can't Stop Watching."
The actor revealed that after allegations against D'Elia come to light, the producers of "You" reached out to Jenna Ortega, who appeared onscreen with D'Elia “to make sure she felt safe.”
