Uh oh!
Ryan Phillippe's ex Elsie Hewitt has filed a lawsuit against the actor, alleging he kicked, punched, and physically assaulted her during an argument in July, multiple outlets report. The
Playboy model claims the
Shooter star flew off the handle on July 4, when she showed up at his house to retrieve her belongings after their breakup.
Hewitt claims in the docs that she witnessed Phillippe, "repeatedly abusing a panoply of legal and illegal drugs, including without limitation: cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and steroids. He increasingly combined these drugs with excessive alcohol consumption and often exhibited symptoms attendant of poly drug and alcohol abuse, including mood swings and bouts of anger."
"He grabbed Hewitt’s upper arm so tightly that his grip left heavy bruises on her arm hours later. He then braced his body and violently threw her down his staircase as hard as he could. He grabbed Hewitt, struck her, cornered her, kicked her, and aggressively pushed her to the ground. He picked [her] up like a doll and tossed her down the stairs a second time," the complaint detailed.
Sources close to Reese Witherspoon's former husband deny the whole thing, and says that it was Hewitt who was the aggressor.
"Elsie showed up to Ryan’s house uninvited and under the influence a few days after he had broken up with her. She physically attacked Ryan, caused a scene and refused to leave his home. As she was removed from the premises, she claims she fell and injured herself," a source dished to
People.
“There is no restraining order presently in place of any kind. At the time it happened, there was a temporary which was terminated only a few days after. She has since tried to seek revenge and fame by sending glamour shots of herself to media outlets with a false story of domestic violence,“ the source added.
Hewitt's lawyer says the accusations that she is out for money and fame are bogus, and that if she wins the case, she will donate the money to domestic violence charities.
What a mess!
