'Uncut Gems' producer Sebastian Bear-McClard accused of sexual misconduct and 'grooming' underage women on 'Good Time' set: report

• Several women are accusing producer Sebastian Bear-McClard of misconduct, Variety reported.
• Bear-McClard's former partner, Emily Ratajkowski, filed for divorce last year.

A high-profile producer for acclaimed films "Uncut Gems" and "Good Time" has been accused by three women of predatory behavior including sexual misconduct, with two alleging that he reached out to them while they were teenagers and promised he could establish their careers in Hollywood.

According to Variety, one of the women was 17 when she began having a consensual sexual relationship with Sebastian Bear-McClard, 42, beginning after he contacted her on Instagram and promised a role in a film.

The producer is the former partner of actress and model Emily Ratajkowski, who filed for divorce last year; they have one child.

While the 17-year-old was promised a scene in the film "Good Time" with actor Robert Pattinson, she instead found herself standing nude in front of a half-dozen male actors, an episode that left her "utterly stunned" and "terrified," she said in the statement obtained by Variety. The age of consent in New York is 17.

"My distress only worsened when out of nowhere, [an actor] whispered in my ear if 'he could stick it in' while the cameras rolled. I said 'no,'" she said in the statement, per Variety.

Insider was not able to review the statement or others obtained by Variety. It is not clear if they are connected to Bear-McClard and Ratajkowski's ongoing divorce proceedings. A legal rep for Bear-McClard declined to comment and lawyers for Ratajkowski did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

Another woman, whose statement was quoted by Variety, said she was 18 when Bear-McClard contacted her on Instagram, alleging that he began "grooming" her with promises of a thriving career. He then took her to the apartment he lived in with Ratajkowski, and "without asking for my consent, Sebastian inserted himself inside me without using a condom," the statement said, per Variety.

The same woman also said that on the set of the 2019 Adam Sandler film, "Uncut Gems," she caught him messaging a 15-year-old who had visited the set.

The film was released by powerhouse studio A24 and directed by the brothers Josh and Benny Safdie. The studio is behind some of the decade's most acclaimed films, including Oscar-winners "Everything Everywhere All At Once" and "Moonlight."

"Uncut Gems" and "Good Time" elevated the profiles of the Safdie brothers, who co-founded the production studio Elara Pictures with Sebastian Bear-McLard in 2014. Variety quoted multiple sources as saying that both his relationship with the 18-year-old and alleged interaction with the 15-year-old contributed to his firing in 2022. Reps for Elara declined to comment to Insider.

Reps for A24 did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
