I don't think so. I did a deep dive into the rabbit hole of people who keep chimps as pets a while back and from my understanding of would be pretty hard to get a chimp to fuck you. Un-castrated male chimps are extremely violent animals and even if they were to try to have sex with a human it would be an extremely dangerous endeavor. I think most of the ladies (and interestingly, it's almost entirely ladies) who keep chimps as pets definitely have some kind of psychological problem, but they mostly view their relationship as mother/child. Not saying that eliminates the possibility of misplaced sexual attraction, but in the written content I've seen from monkey moms and chimp parents I have never picked up a sexual aspect, although this was before this lady was famous and I haven't read anything about her specifically other than what's in this thread and article.
