Amid Joe Gatto\u2019s s*xual misconduct allegations that went viral last week, another member of Impractical Jokers, <\/em>James Murray, has been accused of alleged inappropriate behavior by a female fan when she was a minor.<\/p>\n On March 27, 2025, the individual who goes by @Pretend_Crab_9160 on Reddit took to the @r\/ImpracticalJokers community page and shared screenshots of alleged Facebook DMs exchanged with Murray, which had flirty and s*xual undertones. These could be traced between February 2012 and January 2013, when the woman was reportedly 16 and James was 35.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the alleged text exchange, the female fan, who goes by Melyssa on Facebook, asked the comedian<\/a> whether she could go out with him when she turned 18 in a year and a half. James Murray reportedly replied:<\/p>\n \u201cHaha, you\u2019re awesome\u2026 Once you turn 18, email me the same question and I\u2019ll be happy to answer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n When the woman joked about whether he was going to \u201cstay single until then?\u201d the Bones <\/em>actor added, \u201cI\u2019ll do my best, promise.\u201d The duo also exchanged alleged texts about \u201cd*ldos\u201d and shared \u201cI love yous.\u201d<\/p>\n In the wake of the now-viral Facebook screenshots, the young female fan explained in a lengthy caption on Reddit<\/a>, part of which read:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve only shared what I feel comfortable with at the moment. Censored for obvious reasons. I was 16\/17 when I first reached out to say I was a fan, that\u2019s when he offered meet and greet tickets.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n @Pretend_Crab_9160 further mentioned reportedly meeting James Murray in both London and New York City and alleged one night the comedian \u201ckissed\u201d her and she didn\u2019t \u201cremember much else\u201d about it. <\/p>\n Murr hasn’t addressed the allegations<\/a> yet, while the Reddit chain has been deleted.<\/p>\n One of James \u201cMurr\u201d Murray\u2019s female fans has accused the comic of seemingly sending her NSFW messages via Facebook DMs, over 13 years ago, when she was underage. <\/p>\n Her claims came under the headline \u201cMurr \u2013 screenshots and pictures\u201d on the Impractical Jokers<\/a><\/em> <\/em>Reddit page, which has since been removed.<\/p>\n In one text, the girl shared that she didn\u2019t want to appear \u201ccreepy,\u201d but she asked another Impractical Jokers<\/em> star, Sal Vulcano, to pass on her message to James. However, Vulcano seemingly joked he was involved with Murray.<\/p>\n \u201cHahaa, and oh Jesus. With all that talk about d*ldos, I\u2019m a bit scared\u2026 Hahahaaa\u2026 OhMyGod, please tell me they\u2019re not right or close\u2026\u201d she further wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n James Murray allegedly responded: \u201cI will not say until me meet in person!!\u201d which the individual termed as \u201cunfair\u201d at the time. There\u2019s another text exchange<\/a> from September 2012 where Murr reportedly called his fan \u201ccute\u201d and thanked her for the \u201cvideo\u201d she sent, to which she replied, \u201cHaha, thanks! Anytime!\u201d<\/p>\n In a follow-up chain, the woman expressed her disappointment for missing out on one of his shows as the tickets were sold out. <\/p>\n However, Murray reportedly asked her for her email ID and sent her tickets for the following weekend. The screenshots of the alleged emails were also included.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, James Murray allegedly asked the fan to meet him early in the morning and another instance when he was reportedly \u201cdrunk\u201d and seemingly asked her to come over to his \u201capartment.\u201d <\/p>\n The individual also posted a few pictures of her with Murr, with her face blurred out.<\/p>\n Alongside the screenshots, @Pretend_Crab_9160 also offered a brief account of her alleged experience with the comedian. She claimed attending one of his shows where she and her friend had \u201call access\u201d passes. <\/p>\n The woman reportedly had dinner with Murr before going to the afterparty<\/a> with him where she and her pal, both minors, were allegedly \u201cgiven shots all night.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe met up again a few times when he came to London. I would go to the parties and stay in his hotel. I haven\u2019t uploaded the videos in his hotel room as my friend is indecent. His management and team were there. He bought me lots of nice things, gave me money for private taxis, and things no adult would have been needing money for,\u201d she claimed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n @Pretend_Crab_9160 continued that when she was in NYC with her mother, James reportedly begged her to meet him in the \u201cmiddle of the night.\u201d She seemingly visited his apartment the following night, and one of the pictures shared was from then.<\/p>\n \u201cThis all happened between the ages of 16-18. Please remember I was young, I thought this celebrity liked me and that it was the coolest thing ever at the time. I acknowledge my part in this, but people need to be aware so something worse doesn\u2019t happen\u2026\u201d she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Murr\u2019s female fan asked other women to be \u201csafe\u201d and claimed in her conclusion that she reportedly saw girls \u201cas young as 15\u201d allegedly doing \u201cillicit substances with guys\u201d at the parties she reportedly attended with James Murray.<\/p>\n The Tenderloins member hasn\u2019t responded at the time of writing. As per @Pretend_Crab_9160\u2019s screenshots, James Murray reportedly asked her not to make their private chats public in February 2012, particularly when they talked about her turning 18. <\/p>\n She has admitted to acting “older” at the time, when she was “young and stupid,” adding Murr was aware of her age\/ ID<\/a> and it was an “unspoken fact.”<\/p>\n The allegations against James Murray come amid s*xual assault accusations against Joe Gatto<\/a> by a TikToker named @joozyb that circulated online on March 21, 2025. <\/p>\n The woman claimed the alleged incident happened in September 2023 in Milwaukee during one of Gatto\u2019s shows. She was reportedly 19 at the time.<\/p>\n On March 23, an alleged former employee of Joe made similar accusations during an exclusive interview with People. He has since denied the allegations, canceled his ongoing tour, and checked himself into an inpatient facility. <\/p>\n James Murray has seemingly liked a video about Joe Gatto on TikTok.<\/p>\nMore about the accusations against James Murray<\/strong><\/h2>\n
