LOS ANGELES, Sept 19: Ryan Phillippe’s ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt’s has accused the actor of assaulting her earlier this year and has filed a USD one million lawsuit against him.
In documents obtained by E! News, the 21-year-old, who was Playboy’s Miss June 2017, alleges that the 43-year-old actor kicked, punched and threw her down a flight of stairs during a fight that happened on July 4 of this year.
The documents claim that during the fight at the actor’s house, Hewitt gathered her things to leave and that, “Phillippe reacted by attacking Hewitt. 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.”
The claims go on to allege, “When Hewitt finally made it back to the top of the second staircase to pick up her belongings, Phillippe repeatedly grabbed Hewitt, struck her, cornered her, kicked her, and aggressively pushed her to the ground.”
Entertainment news website, The Blast, has reported that police issued an Emergency Protective Order against Phillippe on July 6, forcing him to stay 100 yards away from the model. Hewitt alleges that she told cops that the actor was trying to contact her and she feared he would “cause her additional injury.” (PTI)
