Horatio Sanz accuser claims Jimmy Fallon, Lorne Michaels were ‘enablers’ in sex assault
accused last year by a woman who alleged he sexually assaulted her when she was underage, but now she’s claiming that “SNL” alums Tracy Morgan and Jimmy Fallon, as well as show creator Lorne Michaels, were “enablers,” Deadline reported.The accuser filed legal papers on Tuesday naming the three men in connection to the suit, which was originally filed in August 2021.The Pennsylvania woman, named Jane Doe in the court records, accused Sanz of sexual misconduct when she was just 17 years old and also named NBC in the original suit.When contacted by NBC, a spokesperson told The Post, “Regardless of Jane Doe’s changing narratives, NBC intends to renew its motion to dismiss.”Sanz’s lawyer, Andrew Brettler, has denied the allegations.The Post has reached out to reps for Morgan, Fallon and Michaels for comment.In Tuesday’s filing, she claimed Michaels, 77, created a hostile and toxic environment and that young girls were frequent attendees at the sketch show’s infamous “after-parties” and “after-after parties,” alleging in court docs that alcohol was served to the minors at the late-night bashes.The woman claimed that “The Tonight Show” host, 47, and the “30 Rock” comedian, 53, were also at these parties and reportedly allowed the inappropriate behavior to occur.Court docs alleged the Sanz incident happened at an “SNL” party back in 2002 with several witnesses around, according to Deadline. The comedian, who joined the show in 1998, was a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” during that time, before his 2006 exit.The suit said Morgan reportedly rented out a space for an “after-after-party” in May 2002, where Jane Doe alleged Sanz assaulted her as a teenager.NBC had also filed a motion to dismiss the suit in April.
