Crispin Glover, best known for playing George McFly in the 1985 classic back to the futurehas been sued by a woman.
The woman claims that the actor lured her from the United Kingdom to Los Angeles with the promise of a job in the entertainment industry and then used her to “[inappropriate actions]”and held her against her will.
The civil complaint, filed Wednesday and obtained by Varietyaccuses Glover of “assault, fraud, wrongful eviction, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and pernicious act violations.”
The plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe and described as a 30-year-old former British model, alleges she was “lured and manipulated” into moving to Los Angeles to work as Glover’s assistant.
According to the lawsuit, the two first connected over social media in 2015, and Glover allegedly made “strange advances” and encouraged her for years to move to Los Angeles.
In 2023, the couple met in person in Dresden, Germany, where Doe claims Glover showed her memorabilia from his personal collection.
The complaint claims that throughout 2023, Glover “groomed Jane Doe with promises of a new life in which she could start over and have a career in the entertainment industry through some type of business relationship with him.”
Moved to Los Angeles in early 2024.
What he supposedly found there was nothing like what he had been promised.
“When Ms. Doe took the bait, uprooted herself and moved to Los Angeles, she found herself in a disturbing situation in which Mr. Glover wanted to control her actions and track her whereabouts and basically serve her as a girlfriend/sex slave,” the lawsuit states.
After she refused to comply with what the complaint describes as “increasingly bizarre and inappropriate demands,” Doe alleges that she was illegally evicted and that Glover filed false legal actions against her, including a fraudulent petition for a restraining order.
Glover’s legal team has responded firmly.
In a statement, his lawyer said: “Mr. Glover denies these unfounded allegations in the strongest possible terms.
Glover, 60, has had a long career in Hollywood beyond his iconic portrayal of the clumsy and lovable George McFly.
His credits include Charlie’s Angels, Alice in Wonderland, Willardand river edge.
The civil case is ongoing.
