Crispin Glover, best known for playing George McFly in the 1985 classic Back to the futurehas been sued by a woman.
The woman claims the actor lured her from the UK 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 Blackaccuses Glover of “battery, fraud, wrongful estoppel, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and trespass violations.”
The plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe and described as a 30-year-old former model from the UK, claims she was “lured and manipulated” into moving to Los Angeles to work as Glover’s assistant.
According to the lawsuit, the two first connected via social media in 2015, with Glover allegedly making “strange advances” and encouraging her for years to move to LA.
In 2023, the couple met in person in Dresden, Germany, where Doe claims Glover showed her memorabilia from his personal collection.
The complaint states that throughout 2023, 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 kind of business relationship with him.”
She moved to Los Angeles in early 2024.
What she allegedly found there was nothing like what she had been promised.
“When Ms. Doe took the bait and uprooted and moved to Los Angeles, she found herself in a disturbing situation where Mr. Glover wanted to control her actions and track her whereabouts and basically serve him 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 claims she was illegally evicted and that Glover filed false lawsuits against her, including a fraudulent request for a restraining order.
Glover’s legal team has pushed back vigorously.
In a statement, his lawyer said: “Mr Glover vehemently denies these baseless allegations.
Glover, 60, has had a long career in Hollywood beyond his iconic turn as the awkward, lovable George McFly.
His credits include Charlie’s Angels, Alice in Wonderland, Willardand River’s Edge.
The civil case is ongoing.
