Buffy Star Nicholas Brendon Accused of Grooming Teenager; Alleged Victim Expresses Relief at His Death New allegations have surfaced against the late Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor Nicholas Brendon, detailing accusations of grooming a teenage fan years before his death. The alleged victim shared her harrowing experience, describing manipulative behavior and requests for nude photos. She expressed a sense of relief upon hearing of his passing, citing years of fear and reflecting on the public's tendency to elevate deceased figures. Additional accusers have also come forward with disturbing accounts of inappropriate conduct and troubling statements. Late Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor Nicholas Brendon is facing disturbing accusations of grooming a teenager years before his death in March at the age of 54. The alleged victim, now 30, shared her harrowing experience with Page Six, stating, 'When I heard the news that he died, I cried out of pure relief.' Identified as Jane Doe 1, she recounts meeting Brendon at a Washington, D.C. fan convention in April 2013 when she was just 17. Seeking his guidance on an acting career, Jane Doe 1 began exchanging 'flirty' text messages with the actor. She recalled Brendon suggesting he fly her to a ski resort to 'cuddle and keep warm together.' The situation escalated when Brendon began requesting nude photos. Jane Doe 1 claims she attempted to inform him of her age, stating, 'I was like, ‘Bro, I’m 17.’ I was stupid enough to be like, ‘I don’t want you to get in trouble for having nudes of a 17-year-old on your phone.’' According to her account, Brendon dismissed her concerns, allegedly responding, 'It’s OK, you’re the age of consent. Just send me the nudes.' She claims he even looked up the age of consent. Jane Doe 1 stated she initially sent 'tasteful nudes' where she was covered, but Brendon allegedly pushed for fully nude images. When she expressed discomfort, he reportedly stated, 'I’m famous. I’m giving you attention. You should be doing what I ask you to do.' Brendon allegedly ghosted her after she sent nude photos a few times. Jane Doe 1 believes her interactions with Brendon negatively impacted her later relationships with men. Years later, Sarah Allison, Brendon's ex-girlfriend and former assistant, invited Jane Doe 1 to a Facebook group to share her story. Allison herself has accused Brendon of 'addiction-fueled' physical and mental abuse during her employment. Jane Doe 1 reflected on the experience, realizing, 'Oh, I was really groomed. This was worse than I had thought it was.' The news of Brendon's death brought Jane Doe 1 a sense of relief, as she had lived in 'constant fear' of encountering him. She expressed frustration with the public perception of deceased individuals, stating, 'I’m tired of bad people getting put on a pedestal just because they happen to do something that we literally all do. Yeah, we all die. It’s not special. It is not a special occurrence. So why does he deserve accolades and grace now that he’s dead? He’s not special just because he died.' Page Six also reported allegations from Jane Doe 2, a friend of Allison's, who accused Brendon of inappropriate behavior during a COVID-19 pandemic livestream. Jane Doe 2 alleged Brendon made a 'rape joke' and, when signing a Buffy board game, wrote on top of Angelus' Mansion, 'Don’t go here unless you like f***ing children.' He also reportedly told Jane Doe 2, 'I’ve got dirty thoughts running through my head right now.' Brendon's struggles with personal conduct and addiction were frequently in the headlines. He had numerous legal issues in his later years and admitted to alcoholism and depression on Dr. Phil in 2015. Prior to his death, Brendon was involved in a lawsuit against a contractor, Stephen Britton, for $120,000 concerning unfinished work at his Ohio home. During this legal dispute, Brendon was accused of throwing objects at construction workers and tracking a man hired for renovations. Britton claimed his privacy was violated and he feared for his safety after Brendon allegedly placed an AirTag in his work bag. Britton stated in court documents, 'I’ve never had this happen to me before, and it was alerted for probably three days prior that my iPhone picked it up. I feared, immensely for my life. To be able to go there and work, to be able to get a job done, to worry about weapons and axes that — you know, am I going to get a plate thrown at me? Am I going to get physically assaulted? I was fearful, but then when a tracking device is put on my person, that’s not acceptable.' Brendon admitted to placing the AirTag in Britton’s bag but claimed he was unaware of its function.
