Actor Ryan Phillippe has filed a counter lawsuit against
former girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, who had accused him of brutally beating her
earlier this year.
Phillippe filed the documents last week in response to
Hewitt's lawsuit claiming he had been abusive towards her, reports people.com.
In the lawsuit, the actor denied the allegations, claiming Hewitt "broke
into Phillippe's home in the middle of the night without permission" and
"fabricated a story in an unjustified attempt to extort money" from him to help
her modelling career.
Phillippe said Hewitt made a false police report
accusing him of injuring her on July 4 -- the alleged date of the incident. The
actor also claimed Hewitt was "extremely intoxicated".
"To be clear: I
have not had a ‘girlfriend' for over a year now and have barely dated anyone
since. Any other labels or mis-characterisations, from media or gossips, related
to anyone, briefly, connected to my personal life, are false. Happy
Thanksgiving," Phillippe tweeted on Wednesday.
