Two more women have come forward to accuse Extra host A.J. Calloway of sexual assault and misconduct.
Last June, model Sil Lai Abrams revealed her story to THR, sharing that she was assaulted by the now-44-year-old TV host and several other high-profile Hollywood public figures.
Well, in the months since Abrams initially came forward, a further nine other women had also publicly shared stories about the former 106 & Park TV host, too.
And now, two more women have spoken publicly to The Daily Beast about their alleged experiences with Calloway, as well. Wow…

One accuser, who wished to remain anonymous, first came forward with her allegations on Christmas Eve, speaking to a police department in New Jersey about it for the first time.
She later reached out to Abrams privately because, as the model explained (below):
“[The woman shared her story with me] because the first person I told didn’t believe me, and I just happened to Google to see if anybody else had the same experience with the same person and her name popped up. So she was actually the first person I told him after the actual incident who actually believed me, and [she went to the police] when I found out I wasn’t the only one.”
Whoa…
The other woman who has just come forward publicly identified herself only as Talia, and revealed that she was “terrified” about telling her story because, “I don’t want it to affect my future, everything that I’ve worked hard for—and A.J. is someone that would try to do that.”
She explained to The Daily Beast that she first got connected with Calloway way back in 2011 via social media, and after a night out with some friends, he brought her back to his place and eventually got her alone.

The woman explained (below):
“We started making out. And I knew I wasn’t having sex—I knew adamantly I wasn’t having sex because I won’t have sex unless I’m in a committed relationship. So, you know, even though I’m kissing him, I’m thinking, this is the first date, we’re just making out a little bit—because I’ve never even had sex on the first night with someone. Even though he’s tall and he looks skinny, he has some weight to him. He’s heavy, you know, and he put his whole body weight on top of me. He kept trying to open my blouse. He really was going for my skirt, and I was literally pulling my skirt down because I was not going to allow him to go any further.
And he thought it was a game or something because he kept laughing and giggling and I’m like, no, stop, stop. And the more I said stop the more he got aggressive, and that’s when I started to realize, oh my God, this is serious. Like, he’s really going to try and force me to have sex with him. I just remember trying to push him off of me, and this went on for 40 minutes straight. Me attempting to push him off of me and fighting to keep him from taking my clothes off. Eventually he got tired, and I think it’s because he was so intoxicated—it was wearing him out. And I just remember him pulling his penis out and he began stroking himself and he kept trying to put my hand on his penis and eventually he ejaculated on my hands.”
“After what happened he said, ‘I’ll take you home in the morning, I promise.’ It was like he was in denial about what he just did to me. And I didn’t know what else to do, so I just agreed. I remember that the whole night he wrapped his legs around me, so I couldn’t get away. I just remember trying to move and position myself where I could breathe because my face was in his chest, his legs were wrapped around me, his arms were wrapped around me, and that’s how he slept the whole night until morning. I never wanted to tell anyone because I didn’t think people would believe me because he was a celebrity and I was just a regular girl. I thought that it’s just one of those situations that happen and you just have to move forward with your life.”
Awful!!!
Even just as allegations at this point, you can’t help but feel for these poor women…
