Crispin Glover Faces Battery Lawsuit, Denies Allegations as 'Baseless Fabrication'
A representative for actor Crispin Glover, best known for his role in Back to the Future, has issued a strong denial of allegations made against him in a new lawsuit filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe. In a detailed statement, the representative asserted that Glover denies these claims "in the strongest possible terms."
Glover's Defense and Counter-Allegations
The representative further claimed that on March 2, 2024, Glover was "the victim of an unprovoked felony assault" at his Los Angeles residence. According to the statement, Glover contacted the Los Angeles Police Department, who responded, investigated the incident, and arrested the woman involved. These events are documented in law enforcement records and in a restraining order that Glover filed at the time.
"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 statement concluded, emphasizing Glover's commitment to contesting the allegations in court.
Details of the Lawsuit and Plaintiff's Claims
The lawsuit, obtained by various media outlets, was filed by a model from the United Kingdom. She alleges that Glover manipulated her into moving from Europe to Los Angeles with promises of a new life and career opportunities in Hollywood. According to the complaint, the woman first connected with Glover via social media in 2015, and he persistently encouraged her over the years to relocate to Los Angeles.
She claims that when they met in person in 2023 in Dresden, Germany, Glover displayed controversial memorabilia and made advances she described as unusual. The woman further alleges that in early 2024, Glover offered her the opportunity to live at his Silver Lake home and work as his assistant. Based on these assurances, she stopped paying rent on her European apartment and sold her belongings.
Allegations of Control and Assault
Upon arriving in Los Angeles, the woman alleges she discovered Glover expected her to be his live-in girlfriend and work without pay. The complaint states that she became socially isolated and financially dependent, with Glover allegedly monitoring her movements and seeking to control her interactions.
Regarding the events of March 2, 2024, the woman claims that after telling Glover she planned to leave the house temporarily, he warned her she would be locked out. She alleges that when she returned, she was unable to re-enter the home, and her belongings and pets remained inside. When she attempted to retrieve her cats, she says Glover physically assaulted her, grabbing her neck and leaving a visible injury.
She further alleges that Glover then contacted police and falsely accused her of unlawful entry. Law enforcement sources have reportedly stated that officers responded to an assault call at the residence that day but made no arrests, and that Glover reported being assaulted by a man and a woman.
Impact on the Plaintiff and Legal Representation
The woman also claims that Glover subsequently sought a restraining order against her, which she says harmed her career and reputation. She alleges she remains homeless and emotionally affected by the events and is seeking damages. She is represented by attorney Dev Das of the Geragos & Geragos law firm.
Glover's legal team maintains that the allegations are unfounded and that he will contest them in court, setting the stage for a high-profile legal battle in Hollywood.
