Noël Wells: My best friend called me the night Neil deGrasse Tyson allegedly sexually harassed her

Twitter

The Saturday Night Live alum and Master of None star tweeted that she's close friends with one of Tyson's accusers. "If you are a powerful man acting and behaving as a predator, acting ignorant of being a predator is no defense," Wells tweeted on Sunday in response to Tyson's Facebook response to the allegations. "Your assistant drove you, your wife, and your daughter. She thought she was safe and you were safe. Face yourself. "And for anyone who thinks I am jumping on some bandwagon, I am one of the accusers best friends, and I was cheering her on with love when she got this job and I was called the night this happened. My heart breaks with her and I am sick and angry at this sickness."
