The woman, identified as Jane Doe in court papers, is described as a model from the United Kingdom. She claims she met Glover on social media in 2015. According to the filing, she alleges that the actor later encouraged her to move to Los Angeles and made what she described as "strange advances."
Doe further claims that she was "groomed" by the actor and was promised a fresh start, a home and work in the entertainment industry. The filing says she moved to Los Angeles in 2024 after Glover allegedly offered her a job as his assistant and a place to live.
After she arrived in Los Angeles, Doe claims she was placed in what she described as a "disturbing situation." She alleges that Glover wanted to control her movements and track her whereabouts, and that she depended on him for money and housing.
Doe also accuses the actor of filing a "false police report" and seeking a restraining order against her, which she claims damaged her career and reputation after it became public. She further alleges that Glover continued to contact her even after the restraining order.
In the lawsuit, Doe has asked for a jury trial and is seeking damages, legal costs and other relief.
Glover's representatives have denied the accusations. According to PEOPLE, in a statement to TMZ, his team said, "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. Mr. Glover called LAPD, which came to the scene, investigated, and arrested Jane Doe."
