Crispin Glover Sued by British Model Alleging Assault, Fraud, and Emotional Distress

Actor Crispin Glover, best known for his role as George McFly in Back to the Future, is facing a lawsuit filed by a British model, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, alleging a pattern of abuse, fraud, and emotional distress. The model claims she was subjected to a coercive environment involving alleged physical assault, unpaid labor, and manipulation.

Allegations of Abuse and Exploitation

According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Jane Doe alleges that Glover lured her to Los Angeles under the guise of providing opportunities in the entertainment industry. The complaint details a relationship that began through social media contact in 2015, with Glover allegedly persistently encouraging her to relocate to the United States. The model claims that after meeting Glover in Dresden, Germany, in 2023, she was shown Nazi memorabilia, a detail reported by TMZ.

The lawsuit further alleges that Glover promised housing and employment as an assistant, but upon her arrival in Los Angeles in early 2024, the situation devolved into what the model describes as a controlling and exploitative environment. She claims she was expected to function as a “live-in girlfriend” and perform labor without compensation, having relinquished her previous living arrangements and possessions in anticipation of a legitimate career opportunity.

The complaint asserts that Glover allegedly monitored her movements, controlled her social interactions, and exerted undue influence over her life. Tensions reportedly escalated on March 2, 2024, when the model informed Glover of her intention to attend a mosque. She alleges that Glover threatened to lock her out of the residence if she left, and upon her return, she found herself excluded from the property with her belongings and pets still inside.

Alleged Assault and Legal Backlash

Jane Doe claims that when she attempted to re-enter the property to retrieve her possessions, Glover physically assaulted her, allegedly grabbing her neck and applying a chokehold, resulting in a visible injury. People Magazine reported on the alleged assault and resulting injury.

Following the alleged incident, Glover reportedly filed a police report claiming Jane Doe was an unlawful intruder and sought a restraining order against her. However, the model asserts that the restraining order was “malicious” and “fraudulent” and was ultimately dismissed due to a lack of prosecution. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that police responded to an assault report at Glover’s home on March 2, 2024, but no arrests were made.

The model alleges that the publicity surrounding the restraining order caused significant damage to her career and reputation and that Glover continued to attempt to contact her even after the order was filed, seeking to resume a sexual relationship.

Glover’s Response

Crispin Glover vehemently denies the allegations. A representative for the actor stated to The Sun: “Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms.”

The representative further stated that on March 2, 2024, Glover was the victim of an unprovoked assault by Jane Doe at his Los Angeles residence, leading to her arrest by the LAPD. The statement asserts that law enforcement records and the previously filed restraining order support Glover’s account of events. Glover intends to “vigorously defend himself and pursue all available relief,” confident that the legal process will demonstrate the lawsuit’s lack of merit.

Current Status and Legal Representation

Jane Doe is seeking damages and a jury trial. She is represented by attorney Dev Das of Geragos & Geragos. The case is ongoing, and further developments are expected as it proceeds through the legal system. The model claims to be currently homeless and emotionally scarred by the alleged experience.
