Crispin Glover accuses ex of 'trying to intimidate him' with allegations against him
Published in Entertainment News
Crispin Glover has accused his ex-girlfriend of trying to "intimate him into paying her to settle" after her allegations against him.
The Back To The Future actor has responded to a battery lawsuit by an ex, who is known as Jane Doe in the filing and is believed to be a British model, after she accused him of trying to make her a live-in sex slave.
As reported by the Daily Mail, in a declaration in Los Angeles Superior Court, the 62-year-old actor said: "I believe she did so to intimidate me into paying her to settle and therefore avoid negative media attention which could damage my future ability to earn money in the entertainment industry."
He added that he believes she sued him to convinced him to pay her.
Glover has also asked the court to throw out part of the case which is linked to statements from Doe regarding a conflict from over two years ago, alleging that he "made a false police report and fraudulent petition for a restraining order against her".
In February, Glover - who played George McFly in Back To The Future - denied allegations of battery, fraud, wrongful eviction, malicious prosecution, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Doe alleged she met the actor on social media 11 years ago, and his declaration he said she contacted him on social media in 2015, while they had a "brief romantic relationship" in 2023.
Doe claims while she considered him "a friend" when they first started talking, he made "strange advances" in his messages, urging her to move to Los Angeles.
They are said to have met in person eight years later in Dresden, Germany, where she alleges he showed her "several items of Nazi memorabilia" he'd collected.
Glover is accused of "grooming" her, and promising "a new life where she could start over and have a career in the entertainment industry through some sort of business relationship with him", as well as a home and a job if she moved to LA as his assistant in 2024.
She has alleged that once she arrived in California, she was "in a disturbing situation where Mr. Glover wanted to control her actions and track her whereabouts and basically serve him as a live in girlfriend/sex slave".
In the lawsuit, Jane Doe alleges she "relied entirely on Mr. Glover's promises for money and shelter" if she moved from the UK to LA.
He's accused of locking Doe - who describes herself as a "practicing Muslim" - out of the home when she left to go to a mosque, and she claimed when she returned assuming it had been an empty threat, he "wanted her to find a new place to with", evicting her "without notice or warning of any kind".
As well as being rendered "homeless", Doe has alleged Glover assaulted her when she attempted to get back into the home to receive her cats and belongings.
She has accused him of attacking her, "grabbing her neck and choking her in a headlock, leaving a visible wound and scar on her neck".
In Glover's declaration, he claimed that Doe and an "unknown man" arrived at his home, and he believed they were there "to collect her belongings and her two cats".
He alleged that "instead, the unknown man verbally threatened me, and [Doe] verbally and physically attacked me", before reaching "up to my face and with her fingers gouged her fingernails into my face, drawing blood".
Elsewhere, the actor claimed she arrived in the US because they were dating, rather than a professional arrangement, and he never promised to employ her.
He has also alleged that after two weeks at his home, Doe asked him "to deceive others by saving that we were married in an Islamic ceremony", which he says he refused.
The actor has alleged that at that point she "began acting erratically and left my home to stay with friends".
He has also pushed back against the claims he had Nazi memorabilia he showed her, describing them as "false and misleading" and claiming they were film props from his 2005 film What Is It?
Back in February, Glover's lawyer said in a statement: "Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms."
They added: "Mr. Glover intends to vigorously defend himself and pursue all available relief. He is confident the judicial process will expose this lawsuit as a meritless fabrication."
The case is set to be back in court on July 20.
