The 'Cheaper by the Dozen' star added that the alleged incident unfolded after a wellness event when they were transitioning away from content creation and towards a more full-time role as a mental health professional.
During one event, Stoner bumped into a man who was 'well-adored in the community' and accepted an invitation to learn more about his products.

'He opened the door to a room on the first floor of an apartment building. Is this his lab or his residence?' Stoner wrote, although they did not reveal their alleged abuser's name in their memoir.

'It was common for entrepreneurs and creatives to have live-work spaces, but this looked nothing like the setup from the photos he showed me,' the Disney Channel alum added.
Stoner claimed that 'there were no chairs to sit on' in the man's room, and the pair ended up sitting on the floor.

They also wrote that the man's 'eyes focused on my crotch,' and they immediately felt 'uncomfortable' as things quickly began to escalate.

'His eyes burned a hole in my body as he calculated his next move,' Stoner recalled. 'Suddenly, his hand reached to grab my crotch, and I swatted him away.'
'Still on the floor, he wrestled me toward the back corner of the room as I fought back tears,' they continued. 'With one arm, he lifted my whole body onto his bed, which was tucked into a recessed nook with three walls enclosing it.'

After the alleged assailant tried to 'remove' Stoner's clothes, their 'legs fused together and I didn't move.'
'I briefly exited my body to go into analytical survivor mode: Stay present and list your options,' Stoner detailed. 'You know what might happen. How can you get out of this alive? Your phone is out of reach. If you scream, be might muffle you.'
'If you run for the door, he's massive and will beat you there and maybe make it more painful,' they added.

'Like a child trying to fool his parents, he stopped communicating and pretended to fall asleep instantly, though his body was visibly charged with energy,' they wrote. 'I tried to match his nonchalance and deescalate the situation.'
But the 'Suite Life of Zach and Cody' alum claimed the man then continued his alleged assault.

'There was no reasoning or physically fighting my way out. My defenses waned as his hands pulled my pants to my knees, flipping me to the side where I could momentarily see his bare body in my periphery,' Stoner wrote.

'He separated my legs like I was an inanimate object,' they added.
Before breaking their silence on the alleged sexual assault in their new memoir, Stoner detailed how they were allegedly fired from a kids' show after first coming out as queer in a 2018 Teen Vogue interview.
Although Stoner did not specify which show they were allegedly fired from, the former Disney Channel star said that it was 'definitely discrimination.'

'I did end up getting fired from a children's show because they felt that I was unsafe, now that they knew I was queer, to be around kids,' they said during the 'I'm Literally Screaming' podcast in June 2023.
'The, like, beauty far outweighs the hate comments and death threats,' Stoner added at the time. 'It was intimating and also liberating.'
