Actor Crispin Glover, forever etched in our memories as the quirky George McFly from "Back to the Future," is now facing serious allegations from a British woman. This civil lawsuit claims he lured her to the City of Angels with promises of a new life in Hollywood before things took a dark turn. The woman, referred to as "Jane Doe," accuses Glover of coercing her into becoming his live-in girlfriend and “sex slave,” only to leave her homeless after a physical altercation two years ago.
Jane Doe's civil suit, filed in California Superior Court, is packed with accusations including battery, assault, and wrongful eviction. She claims in the lawsuit that Glover, a long-time bachelor, persuaded her to move from the U.K. to Los Angeles, dangling the promise of a job in the entertainment biz as his assistant. But the dream soured quickly after she relocated in early 2024, according to Doe, when their relationship veered into unsettling territory.
"He was supposed to be my ticket to Hollywood," she says in the lawsuit, "but instead, I found myself in a nightmare."

The lawsuit paints a picture of escalating demands and tensions, culminating in March 2024 when Glover allegedly grabbed her by the neck, an incident that left Jane Doe homeless. But the plot thickens – Glover, through his reps, denies these claims, asserting that he was the one assaulted by Doe on that fateful day. He had even filed a restraining order against her, which now plays into the malicious prosecution angle of her case.
Glover's team has been vocal, stating, “Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms. The reality is that on March 2, 2024, Mr. Glover was the victim of an unprovoked felony assault by Jane Doe at his Los Angeles residence.” His legal strategy is clear – he plans to fight back hard in court, maintaining confidence that the evidence will clear his name.
Crispin Glover has carved out an eclectic niche in both mainstream and independent films, known for his eccentric portrayals from "Wild at Heart" to "Charlie’s Angels." His foray into directing hasn't gone unnoticed either, with titles like "What Is It?" and "Spooky Action at a Distance." As this legal battle unfolds, Hollywood and its fans watch closely, wondering how this tale of fame, accusation, and defense will conclude.
