Manchester Apollo – Monday, 1 April
Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, London – Wednesday, 3 April
Royal Albert Hall, London – Thursday, 4 April
Ansari was accused of misconduct in January 2018, when the website Babe published an article in which a Brooklyn alleged a date with the 35-year-old almost became “sexual assault” back in his apartment.
“I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said,” he wrote. “I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.”
Many notable figures – including Whoopi Goldberg – went on to criticise the accuser, as well as its article, for seemingly denting the proactive results achieved by the TimesUp movement.
