Crispin Glover, best known for his role as George McFly in Back to the Future, has been sued by a former model.
According to Variety, the unidentified woman, referred to as Jane Doe, filed the suit on Wednesday (February 25) and accused the 61-year-old of holding her ‘captive’ and treating her as a ‘se* slave’.
The complaint alleges that she was ‘lured’ to California with the alleged promise of a job opportunity in Los Angeles.

Glover has also been accused of ‘battery, fraud, wrongful eviction, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and bane act violations, stemming from a disturbing series of incidents in which Jane Doe was essentially held captive and used for sex and free labor by Mr. Glover under false pretenses’.
He denies the claims ‘in the strongest possible terms’.The lawsuit alleges that Doe first connected with the Back to the Future star in 2015 through social media. According to the complaint, he would ‘persistently message her to come to Los Angeles’ and would ‘often make strange advances’.
The pair met in Dresden, Germany, where Glover is accused of showing off ‘several items of Nazi memorabilia from his collection’.
« He promised her a home and a job if she came to Los Angeles, » the lawsuit adds.
It goes on to allege that Glover ‘groomed Jane Doe with promises of a new life where she could start over and have a career in the entertainment industry through some sort of business relationship with him’.It was in early 2024 when Doe moved to America’s West Coast.
Once there, the lawsuit claims Doe ‘found herself 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’.
The lawsuit alleges that after she refused to obey Glover’s ‘bizarre and inappropriate demands’, she was unlawfully evicted from their home. Glover is said to have locked her out when she went to mosque despite his refusal.
The LA Times reports the lawsuit goes on to accuse Glover of choking her in a headock, which left Doe with a scar on her neck.
It also claims that allegations made by Glover surrounding a petition for a restraining order were unfounded after he claimed she was ‘an unlawful intruder’ on his property.
A lawyer for Glover has since dismissed the lawsuit, describing it as ‘baseless allegations’.The lawyer told Variety: « Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms. The reality is that on March 2, 2024, Mr. Glover was the victim of an unprovoked felony assault by Jane Doe at his Los Angeles residence. Mr. Glover called LAPD, which came to the scene, investigated, and arrested Jane Doe.
« These facts are documented by law enforcement records and by the restraining order filed by Mr. Glover against Jane Doe at that 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. »
Jennifer Lopez was clearly feeling like an open book as she served up in some insight into what she likes between the sheets while performing on stage.
The soon-to-be 56-year-old is said to be serving up ‘scorned woman energy’ in her new album, reportedly inspired by her messy separation from Affleck.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, ‘Bennifer’ go as far back as 2002 when the pair became the ultimate Hollywood ‘It’ couple before quickly announcing their engagement.
However, they didn’t quite make it down the aisle as just two years later, the pair went their separate ways.
J-Lo went on to marry Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Emme and Max, 17, before their split and subsequent divorce in 2011.
Meanwhile, Affleck married his Daredevil co-star, Jennifer Garner, in 2005 and went on to share three children, Violet, 19, Fin, 16 and Samuel, 13, before likewise splitting after a decade of marriage.Renewed sparks then flew between Affleck and the ‘Jenny from the Block’ hitmaker in 2021, this time resulting in Bennifer officially tying the knot – twice, in Las Vegas and in Georgia.
But that wasn’t to last long either as J-Lo filed for divorce on none other than their second anniversary.
Now, the gloves about the ordeal are clearly off with the superstar seemingly making some not-so-subtle digs about her ex.
While on the stage in Pontevedra, Spain, as part of her European tour, J-Lo dropped her brand new record, ‘Wreckage of You’, which alludes to ‘breaking free’ from an apparently unhappy relationship. Mentioning no names.Then, while taking to the stage at the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy, the singer added some interesting commentary while dropping her new track, ‘Up All Night.’
Speaking to the audience, she dropped some NSFW insight into her sex life as a newly single woman.
She said: « I have to be honest with you, sometimes I get in different moods at night. I don’t know about you but I do, and sometimes I like it hard.
« Other days, I am feeling a little romantic. You put on candles and soft music. On those days, I like it real slow, » she continued. “But there’s other days . . . maybe because it’s a new kind of time for me, maybe because it’s summertime and it’s hot outside, I feel a little more naughty.”Laughing at the crowd’s screaming reaction, she teased: « You ever get that feeling?
“Where you feel like being naughty? On those days, I like it real fast.”
Her remarks come as sources close to the star say her new material is ‘inspired by what she went through during her relationship with Ben,’ reports The Sun.
« Wreckage Of You was so specifically about Ben, and Up All Night points to where Jennifer is at in her life right now. This is a whole new era for Jennifer and she isn’t going to be holding back, » the insider added.
Meanwhile, Affleck has been notably silent on the whole thing, only speaking out back in March by describing the split as ’embarrassing’.
J-Lo herself has also cut any love songs from her tour, stating instead she was doing her ‘anti-love songs.’
« I wanted to do the songs that were like, ‘Get out of here! I hate you!’, » she said. « I’m just kidding. No, I’m not… »
Danny Masterson’s estranged wife, Bijou Phillips, has taken a major step in cutting ties with the disgraced That ’70s Show star.
The 45-year-old model stood by her now-ex-husband during his court cases three years ago in relation to the sexual assault of three women in the early 2000s – in which he was convicted of the rape of two of the three alleged victims.
For years, Phillips – who tied the knot with Masterson in 2011 and welcomed a daughter three years later in 2014 – stood firmly by her husband’s side, and was was often photographed holding his hand outside court.
At the time, the distraught mom even penned a letter to the judge ahead of sentencing, describing him as an ‘amazing father’ whose relationship with their daughter Fianna was ‘inseparable’.
But as the legal dust settled, Phillips’ stance shifted dramatically.Sources close to the actor told the Daily Mail that friends and family had urged her to distance herself from Masterson for her own sake – and for their daughter’s future.
“They encouraged her to show Fianna that eventually people need to be held accountable for what they do, even if it’s someone they love,” one insider claimed.
Another source added that Phillips was also trying to protect her finances, saying: “Bijou also is doing it to protect her assets and protect her future. She doesn’t want to lose money and land and housing over a future civil lawsuit against Danny.”
And now, Phillips appears to have listened to her confidants by filing to remove his last name from their daughter’s identity.
The model recently filed court documents, to legally change her 11-year-old daughter’s name from Fianna Francis Masterson to Fianna Francis Phillips – officially dropping the surname of her jailed ex-husband.Phillips filed for divorce from Masterson in September 2023, shortly after he was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for the rapes of two women.
The former sitcom star, now 49, has continued to maintain his innocence from behind bars at the North Kern State Prison in Delano, California.
After his sentencing, reports suggested Phillips initially struggled to accept her husband’s guilt.
« Danny is adamant he did nothing wrong and Bijou believes him, » a source said at the time.
But within weeks of the verdict, she filed for divorce – officially bringing their 12-year marriage to an end.
Since then, Phillips has moved on with her life, as the Raising Hope star was spotted out with her new boyfriend, businessman Jamie Mazur, in June 2024.

Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura told a Manhattan courtroom yesterday (May 13) that she felt ‘confused and nervous’ when ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegedly invited her to join in on one of his infamous ‘Freak Off’ parties.
The trial of 55-year-old Combs, also known as his aliases Diddy, P Diddy and Puff Daddy, began in New York on May 12, where he faces charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The Bad Boy Records founder, who once served as the Notorious B.I.G.’s manager, is accused of having ‘abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct’ from at least 2008.It’s also alleged in a 14-page legal indictment that the father-of-seven held ‘Freak Off’ parties where prosecutors claim both male and female victims were induced into drug-fuelled, sexual performances.
If found guilty, the three-time Grammy winner faces up to life in prison if the jury convicts him on the racketeering charge.
He also faces a minimum sentence of 15 years for sex trafficking, and a maximum of 10 years behind bars for transportation of prostitution, if found guilty by the jury.
Combs, who was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel last September, has repeatedly denied claims against him and is continuing to plead not guilty to the charges.
On the second day of the trial (May 13), Combs’s ex-girlfriend and American singer Cassie Ventura, 38, took to the witness box.
The ‘Long Way 2 Go’ singer, who was in a relationship with Combs between 2007 and 2018, told the courtroom how she was just 22 when she was allegedly asked to participate in a ‘Freak Off’ party for the first time.
She told the jury she was ‘confused and nervous’ about the event, claiming: “I just remember my stomach falling to my butt. »Ventura said she felt as if she couldn’t refuse her boyfriend, alleging she ‘didn’t know what ‘no’ could be, or what ‘no’ could turn into’ and that ‘[Combs] controlled a lot of [her] life’.
“Sean is a really polarizing person; he was charming,” Ventura said. “It’s hard to really be able to determine what you need when he’s telling you what he wants. I just didn’t know. I didn’t know what would happen.”
The Associated Press reports that Ventura feared videos of the ‘Freak Offs’ would eventually find their way to the internet.
It’s also said Combs would call her ‘predictable’ for not wanting to take part in the events that left her feeling ‘disgusting’ and ‘humiliated’, as per CBS News.
“The freak offs became a job. There was no time to do anything else but do them then try to recover,” she continued, before telling Assistant United States Attorney Emily Johnson the longest event took place over ‘four days’.
On the second day of the trial, surveillance footage of Combs beating the hitmaker inside a Los Angeles hotel in March 2016 was played to the courtroom.
The outlet reports that the video depicted Ventura with a bag at the hotel’s elevators and sees Combs rounding a corner before striking her and throwing her to the ground.
The footage then saw the accused kicking his ex-girlfriend before dragging her back toward their hotel room.
Defense lawyers had unsuccessfully tried before the trial commenced to get the video banned from court.However, prosecutors maintain the video is a piece of evidence in the case against Combs.
It’s understood that three hotel surveillance videos and two cellphone videos were shown to the 12-person jury inside the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City.
Ventura’s testimony comes after she alleged in a bombshell lawsuit in November 2023 that Combs had trafficked, sexually assaulted and physically abused her during their long-term relationship.
A day after the filing, the two ‘amicably’ settled the lawsuit, with USA Today reporting the hip-hop mogul’s team alluded to a ‘substantial eight-figure settlement’ in court documents.

A new civil lawsuit has been filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, accusing the rapper of drugging and raping a woman and getting her pregnant.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion earlier this month – charges he denies.
The 54-year-old rapper has since been hit with a civil lawsuit – marking the 12th accuser to come forward – which was filed in New York and obtained by outlets on Friday (September 27).
The new lawsuit covers a time period from the fall of 2020 to the summer of this year and details allegations made by a woman who’s identity remains anonymous – referred to instead as ‘Jane Doe’.
Doe claims she met the rapper in 2020 while ‘overseas’ and for the next four years, Combs allegedly coerced and harassed her to travel to his houses in locations such as New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
The lawsuit claims Combs and his associates monitored her conversations, tracked her location with the rapper gave her an ‘allowance’, alongside allegedly trying to deter her from working.
The lawsuit states: « At every visit, Defendant Combs would make her ‘perform a show’ for him and would ply her with alcohol and substances until she passed out. She would wake up with bruising and injuries but with no recollection of how she sustained her injuries. This continued until July of 2024. »
The lawsuit goes on to share alleged details of various individual encounters.One encounter, alleged as occurring in April 2022, claims Combs ‘forced Jane Doe to have vaginal intercourse without her consent’. Later in the year, another incident saw Doe ‘w[a]ke up and her feet were purple and bruised and she had a bite mark on her heel’.
Doe details another event, which allegedly took place in July 2022 at Combs’ Los Angeles home, claiming she was forced to take drugs and blacked out and when she woke up, she took a pregnancy test and it was positive.
The lawsuit states she told Combs the result of the test and an associate of the rapper ordered her to get an abortion, although she later experienced a miscarriage.
Combs allegedly recorded the sexual encounters without Doe’s consent and also pressured her to engage in group sex.
The lawsuit filed against Combs, his companies and several associates, alleging the rapper, ‘his agents and employees not only used language and tactics to force Jane Doe to act against her will: she was also unwillingly drugged with alcohol and unknown substances’.
It also alleges Doe was also ‘was forced to witness defendant Combs slap and abuse other women.’The lawsuit is suing Combs for alleged sexual assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress and is seeking undisclosed damages for severe emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety, physical injuries and other harms.
One of the attorney’s representing Doe, Marie Napoli, said in a statement, as quoted by ABC7 New York: « Powerful figures in the entertainment industry have long exploited aspiring artists and fans. Recent high-profile lawsuits aim to hold these celebrities accountable, potentially transforming industry practices and providing justice for victims.
« No one is above the law. Fame and wealth do not protect Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs from serious allegations of sex trafficking and abuse. »
