Crispin Glover, best known for playing George McFly in the 1985 classic Back to the futurewas chased 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, then used her to “[inappropriate actions]” and held her against her will.
The civil complaint, filed Wednesday and obtained by Varietycharges Glover with “battery, fraud, wrongful eviction, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and blight 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 through social media in 2015, with Glover allegedly making “strange progress” and encouraging 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 states that throughout 2023, Glover “offered Jane Doe the promise 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.”
She moved to Los Angeles in early 2024.
What she found there was nothing like what she had been promised.
“When Ms. Doe took the bait and uprooted herself and moved to Los Angeles, she found herself in a disturbing situation where Mr. Glover wanted to control her actions and follow her whereabouts and essentially serve as her girlfriend/sex slave,” the lawsuit states.
After refusing to comply with what the complaint describes as “increasingly bizarre and inappropriate requests,” Doe alleges that she was illegally evicted and that Glover took false legal actions against her, including a fraudulent request for a restraining order.
Glover’s legal team responded strongly.
In a statement, his lawyer said: “Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms.
Glover, 60, has had a long career in Hollywood beyond his iconic role as the awkward and lovable George McFly.
His credits include Charlie’s Angels, Alice in Wonderland, WillardAnd River bank.
The civil case is ongoing.
