This isn't the first time the Golden Globe and two time Emmy winner has been accused of acting inappropriately towards women.
In 2016, The Sun reported that his ex girlfriend Kate Nardi claimed he was bombarding her with “creepy” texts, a situation her new partner said had "got out of control."
Jeremy is the latest actor to be accused of misconduct amidst the sexual abuse scandal that is sweeping Hollywood, which started when the New York Times published an expose on Harvey Weinstein that claimed he committed a slew of sexual offences against women over over a 30 year period.
Most recently, House of Cards actor Kevin Spacey was accused of molesting then 14-year-old actor Anthony Rapp. Spacey said he did not remember the incident that would have occurred 30 years ago, but his Netflix show has been axed as a result.
Jeremy has yet to comment on the allegations against him.
