Update: Andrew Callaghan is addressing the sexual misconduct allegations and apologizing for his behavior.
“I hadn’t realized I had had this pattern that had affected multiple people. I’d like to apologize for my silence. When this stuff first came out, I was in a state of denial and shock,” Callaghan said in video shared on YouTube. “I was denounced by my closest collaborators and my name was printed in 40 different news outlets, next to the words ‘sexual misconduct.’ I just kind of spiraled into a mental health crisis.”
He continued, “I’m okay now, but I don’t think this is about me. This is about the people I’ve affected. So I just want to express my complete sympathy, support and respect for anyone that I’ve done wrong by. I really want to do better and be fully accountable for everything that I’ve done.”

Callaghan began his four-and-a-half minute YouTube clip stressing that he wants to be “fully accountable” and “transparent,” and thanks “every single person who’s came out in the past week to speak about different ways in which my behavior has made them feel uncomfortable or pressured during a sexual situation and to people who said that I’ve made unwanted advances.

Andrew Callaghan has issued a statement after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.
Allegations came first from Caroline Elise, who posted a three-minute video on TikTok Jan. 5 where she describes an experience she had with Callaghan in 2021. Before going into the details, she explains that she had “tried to come to [Callaghan] person-to-person and tried to get him to take responsibility for what he did, but his version of what happened the night he assaulted me is so skewed.”
Elise alleges she allowed Callaghan to stay at her house for one night because he’d had a falling out with his crew members and needed somewhere to sleep, but says she was “very clear about the fact that we are not hooking up.”
“I will tell you that he eventually did get consent,” she says. “And that’s the main point, is that he eventually got consent because he wore me down.

Though Callaghan would later become well-known as the host of the popular YouTube channels All Gas No Brakes and Channel5, as well as the filmmaker behind HBO’s 2022 documentary This Place Rules, at the time she knew him as a goofy aspiring rapper who went by the name TrekGod.

Indie filmmaker Andrew Callaghan, known for his man-on-the-street Channel 5 YouTube interviews and HBO documentary “This Place Rules,” has addressed allegations of sexual misconduct that were made against him in early January.
In a statement sent to Variety, Callaghan’s legal representative said, “Andrew is devastated that he is being accused of any type of physical or mental coercion against anyone. Conversations about pressure and consent are extremely important and Andrew wants to have these conversations, so he can continue to learn and grow. While every dynamic is open to interpretation and proper communication is critical from all those involved, repeated requests for money should not be part of these conversations.”
The statement continues, “With that, balanced communication is paramount to any relationship dynamic and Andrew vows to be better in this regard, while reminding his audience that while even one concerned partner is too many, there are always multiple sides to a story.

Caroline Elise, the user @cornbreadcasserole on TikTok, alleged that Callaghan asked to spend the night at her place following a falling out with a fellow crewmember. Despite her rebuffs, he “eventually got my consent because he wore me down.” She added, “I said whatever because I was trying to get the whole thing over with…it doesn’t discount that I told him no. [He] still found a way to coerce me into doing things I didn’t want to do.
