The backlash against comedian Chris DElia , accused of sexually harassing teen girls on social media , accelerated Tuesday when the CAA talent agency dumped him as a client, Deadline reported.

DElia also was dropped by his manager, 3 Arts Entertainment, and his comedy gig booking agent, William Morris Endeavor, the Los Angeles Times reported.

DElia has not been charged with anything criminal and denies wrongdoing, but consequences are piling up.

Several women have come forward with anecdotes and screenshots showing creepy exchanges with the actor, including one in which DElia suggested making out with a 16-year-old. DElia, 40, said he never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point.

Other women told the Los Angeles Times that DElia exposed himself in a hotel room after they appeared uninterested in sex with him.

The allegations earned strong words of condemnation from former Whitney co-star Whitney Cummings.

Im devastated and enraged by what Ive read and learned, Cummings wrote in a tweet Saturday. This is a pattern of predatory behavior. This abuse of power is enabled by silence. Now that Im aware, I wont be silent.
