Actor Ryan Phillippe has filed a lawsuit against ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, who had accused the actor of assaulting her.
Hewitt last month had filed a USD one million lawsuit against the 43-year-old actor alleging that Phillippe kicked, punched and threw her down a flight of stairs during a fight that happened on July 4 of this year.
Phillippe, in his counter lawsuit, denied the allegations and claimed that Hewitt broke into his home without permission and "fabricated a story in an unjustified attempt to extort money" from him, reported People Magazine.
On Twitter, the actor today said, "I have not had a 'girlfriend' for over a year now and have barely dated anyone since."
"Any other labels or mis-characterizations, from media or gossips, related to anyone, briefly, connected to my personal life, are false," he added.
