AceShowbiz - Elton John is being sued for sexual harassment by his former bodyguard Jeffrey Wenninger. Jeffrey filed a lawsuit against the 69-year-old singer in Los Angeles, California, accusing Elton of grabbing his genitals on multiple occasions, TMZ has learned.
In the court paper, it was said that there were three alleged incidents happening in 2014. Jeffrey noted that he and Elton were in a car together when the singer put his hands down Jeffrey's pants. Jeffrey said that Elton attempted to "grab his genitals" and place his fingers between Jeffrey's "butt cheeks." The singer was also said to have told the former security guard to "get your todger out" and to "say hello to Uncle Elton."
In a separate incident, Sir Elton was accused of twisting Jeffrey's nipples, before allegedly telling him, "You have so many gay genes in you, they just haven't met up yet." According to Jeffrey, who stopped working with Elton in September 2014, there were some other incidents that happened during his employment. He also stated that he attempted to "verbally and physically resist," but it didn't stop the singer from doing the immoral actions.
The former employee is suing for sexual battery and harassment. Meanwhile, Elton's rep has yet to comment on the matter.
