Jessica recently celebrated her birthday in LA and was openly affectionate and flirtatious with Marco. They end up back at the same hotel, but no one knows what happened behind closed doors. Her flirty behavior surprises many of their friends, so word quickly reaches Ed, who is filming in Europe.
The media source further wrote,
They immediately ended their relationship over the phone, and Jessica, who denied anything had happened to Marco, was so upset that she flew to London last Friday with just the clothes on her back. She is begging Ed to take her back, but he is too hurt. He can’t believe that she moved forward with one of his friends like this.

You are just bringing something to life, a performance to life. The music gets inside you, the music captures you. Music becomes the heartbeat of your heart. It’s a drug and it makes you feel exactly what the song is about. I just love it, love playing it and I love being on stage. I like playing for other people. My friends, let’s go out and make a night of it for ourselves.

controversies
sexual harassment allegation
In November 2017, he was accused of sexual harassment by three women named Christina Cohen (actor), Rachel Eck (filmmaker), and Aurelie Wynn (actor). All three women claimed that Ed sexually assaulted three of them separately in 2014. Christina and Aurelie accused him of rape, while Rachel accused him of sexual harassment. In a Facebook post, Christina Cohen wrote,
After dinner with my boyfriend and Westwick, I fell asleep and woke up to find him on top of me.
Later, Ed released a statement in which he said,
Unverified and possibly false. I have never forced myself in any way with any woman. I have certainly never raped.”
In July 2018, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office said,
Westwick will not be prosecuted in connection with the rape and sexual assault claims. As witnesses identified by the first two alleged victims were not able to provide information that would enable the prosecution to prove any of the incidents beyond reasonable doubt, prosecutors were unable to contact the third claimant.
