Personal life
In May, 2017, Elelman admitted on talk show Studio 10 that she had been sexually assaulted by now disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris. She said on the show "He had this habit of hugging you and then running his hand down your back and trying to insert his finger you know where. And then what you’d do of course ... is flinch and therefore you go closer in towards him which means that your groins would join." Elelman was in her 20's working behind the scenes of a show back in the 70's when the incident happened. She said her experience was "bad enough", but that she was more concerned for a 15-year-old work experience girl there.
