SUIT: CHRIS D’ELIA ACCUSED OFF EXPLOITING A MINOR: Comedian Chris D’Elia has been hit with a suit accusing him of sexually exploiting a minor and soliciting child pornography. The incident allegedly occurred in 201, when a then 34-year-old D’Elia forced a 17-year-old to “provide him sexually explicit images of herself over the internet, directed her what specific sexual poses and acts she should perform for him, and psychologically punished her when she refused.” They eventually met in person, and she gave him oral sex. She is seeking unspecified damages and punitive action. (ET)

ASHLEY BENSON TALKS EXPLOITING RELATIONSHIPS: Ashley Benson says she doesn’t want to discuss her relationships, believing they should be private. Benson, who recently split from G-Eazy, said: “You obviously can’t help if you get photographed together. [But] it’s more sacred that way. Those private moments are for you and your partner, and I think it’s best not to be over-exposed, and you can really protect your relationship if you’re not exploiting it.” (Cosmo)
