New York Post: City ballerina Alexandra Waterbury blasts Amar Ramasar’s ‘West Side Story’ debut

A city ballet dancer who accused several male stars of trading nude photos of her and other unsuspecting female colleagues blasted the appearance of one of the men in Tuesday night’s Broadway preview of “West Side Story.”

“Ya know, I was going to protest tonight at the opening of @westsidestorybway because you shouldn’t be on a playbill; you should be on a sex offender list,” Alexandra Waterbury seethed on Instagram alongside a photo of dancer Amar Ramasar, who stars as Bernardo in the musical classic.

“I’m not protesting because it’s my best friend’s 25th birthday and her life is more important to me than anything you could ever do or be involved in,” Waterbury wrote in addressing the star dancer — while also posting the headline from an online editorial in September titled, “Why You Should Boo Amar Ramasar in the ‘West Side Story’ Revival.”

“Many people are wondering, ‘if he’s working still, he must not have done anything wrong.’ No. The District Attorney of NYC looked into my case, conducting a criminal investigation and similarly to how the DA handled the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, they’re claiming there’s not enough to prosecute the case with,” Waterbury said, referring to criticism of the Manhattan DA’s Office for allegedly not properly handling a slew of sex-abuse claims against Harvey Weinstein.
