"Gossip Girl" actor Ed Westwick has denied second rape allegation, saying he is cooperating with the authorities to clear his name.

In a statement posted on social media Westwick, 30, said, "It is disheartening and sad to me that as a result of two unverified and provably untrue social media claims, there are some in this environment who could ever conclude I have had anything to do with such vile and horrific conduct," he wrote on Instagram and Twitter.
