Victoria Pedretti from the hit Netflix series You has detailed a “disrespectful” interaction with an unidentified “well known” actor who allegedly sexually harassed her.

In a since-deleted Instagram post from earlier today, the actor recognized her birthday with a nude mirror selfie. She questioned, “WTF is partial nudity?” while reflecting on her relationship with her body. 

Pedretti alleged, “On my bday last year, a ‘well known’ actor walked up to me at a party and said, ‘I’ve jacked off to you so many times.'”

She recalled feeling “shocked” by the actor’s unsolicited comment, which, she stated, came after he told her that he “respected” her work.

“It’s a joke to think that my own modesty will protect me from any disrespect I may experience as a femme body,” Pedretti wrote. The actor concluded by telling her body, “I love you.”

The post has made its way to social media, eliciting support from Pedretti’s many fans. Since, people have speculated that the post was removed, rather than deleted, due to Instagram’s strict rules against nudity.

Now, many are claiming that they’re struggling to locate Pedretti’s Instagram account, suggesting that she may have gotten shadowbanned for her explicit post. (Decider did not have difficulties finding Pedretti’s account.)

At the time of reporting, Pedretti has not addressed her removed social media post. Instead, she has been sharing the many birthday wishes she’s receiving from peers.

Pedretti has starred in a variety of popular television shows and movies, including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Haunting of Hill House, You and The Haunting of Bly Manor. She won the MTV Movie Award for Most Frightened Performance in 2021 for her role in the latter.
