Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Joe Gatto enters in-patient facility in wake of sexual assault claims
Caption:
Joe Gatto enters in-patient facility in wake of sexual assault claims. The comedian told People magazine that he had decided to voluntarily enter an in-patient programme after two women came forward and accused him of sexual assault and sexual harassment. The married father of two said in a statement: ”Having taken some time to reflect, I've decided to voluntarily enter an in-patient programme to continue working on myself. I just want to thank my friends, fans and especially my family for all of their support - never more so than over the last few days.” All Gatto's upcoming scheduled Let's Get Into It tour dates have been cancelled. Before entering the facility, Gatto was accused of sexual assault, and a former employee also came forward about her negative experiences with the comedian. A rep for the comedian issued a statement in response to the allegations, saying: ”I have used poor judgement and as a result have violated the trust of the people I love most. But anyone who knows me at all knows full well that I wouldn't assault anyone.”
