Joe Gatto Accused of Inappropriate Behavior by Former Employee Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Joe Gatto is facing fresh accusations of inappropriate conduct from a former employee, coming just hours after he publicly denied previous sexual assault allegations made by another individual.
A report by People emerged on Sunday featuring claims from an anonymous former employee who alleges that Gatto engaged in what she describes as “sexual harassment” during her time working with him on the show “Impractical Jokers.”
The accuser recounts her first encounter with Gatto when she was just 15 years old. She asserts that following her 18th birthday, his demeanor shifted significantly, becoming more flirtatious and suggestive.
According to her allegations, Gatto frequently asked for back massages and invited her to his room for what he described as cuddling sessions. Additionally, she claims he often inquired about her personal life, including intimate details.
The individual notes that Gatto became frustrated when she did not reciprocate his flirtations, reportedly responding with rudeness when she rejected his advances.
It is important to mention that the claims made by this source lack physical evidence to substantiate the allegations, and Gatto has categorically denied any misconduct in his communication with People.
As previously reported, Gatto was already under scrutiny after a TikTok user accused him of sexual assault in a now-deleted video that purportedly shared messages from the comedian.
In a statement, Gatto rejected the allegations, admitting to past mistakes and acknowledging that he has “violated the trust of the people” he cares about, yet asserting that those who know him understand he would never engage in such actions.
Attempts to reach Gatto for comments regarding these latest allegations have not yet yielded a response.
