Ryan Phillippe Domestic Violence Allegations: Another Woman Comes Forward As Actor Denies Assaulting Elsie Hewitt
"Shooter" star Ryan Phillippe, 43, is embroiled in a domestic violence case. His ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, 21, is accusing the actor of physically abusing her, while another woman has come forward to say she filed for harassment against the Hollywood star a few months back.
Paulina Slagter revealed that she complained about Phillippe to the cops in March. The 26-year-old filed an Annoying or Harassing Electronics Communications Harassment Report with the Los Angeles Police Department because her ex-fiancé kept sending "aggressive and extremely angry" messages after their relationship ended.
Slagter dated Phillippe for five years and they got engaged in December 2015. The following November, however, the couple broke up and Phillippe believed she cheated on him.
Slagter dropped the case she filed against her ex because she did not want the publicity. But her news comes as Phillippe faces a similar accusation lodged by Hewitt.
Hewitt's civil lawsuit alleged that Phillippe brutally kicked, punched and threw her down the stairs during a fight on July 3. She shared photographs of her bruises that's now going viral online. She also accused the actor of being hooked on different illegal drugs and alcohol.
The actor denied Hewitt's allegations. Phillippe released a statement to say that Hewitt's claims are false.
The police doubted Hewitt's claims, TMZ reported. The actor was apparently surprised but cooperative when cops went to his home to investigate.
The actor did not have a lawyer present when he openly answered all of the police's questions. It suggested that he was not hiding anything.
Phillipe will not face charges, according to prosecutors. Hewitt, on the other hand, flew back to her hometown of London.
Philippe was married to Reese Witherspoon from 1999 to 2006. They share joint custody of their two teenage kids, Ava and Deacon. The actor has another child, Kailani, with ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp.
