He's accused of being aggressive and engaging in less than enthusiastic consensual sexual conduct, or, as Grace put it missing or ignoring her signals. That sounds like #metoo to me, but I'm not the expert on its boundaries you are, so maybe I'm wrong.

(If you read the Babe piece carefully, it is subtly written to suggest lack of consent and rudeness (for instance, "I prefer red wine, but [Ansari] gave me no choice but white"... translating generously to, "he wasn't thinking about my needs, but his own" or less generously, "he was getting me tipsy").

There was nothing subtle about it.
