COMEDIAN GRIFFIN SUED FOR ASSAULT
U.S. comic EDDIE GRIFFIN is facing legal action from a member of a TV crew who claims to have been assaulted by the star.
Vince Beane has filed papers at Los Angeles Superior Court accusing the stand-up comedian of attacking him on 10 March (08). At the time of the alleged incident, Beane was working as a production manager on a pilot TV show starring Griffin, and he claims the star flew into a drunken rage when he discovered he had been booked into a "cheap three star hotel" - allegedly taking his anger out on Beane.
The TV firm - The Leslie Grief Company - is also named in the suit, according to TMZ.com. Bosses are accused of plying Griffin with alcohol and then failing to protect staff from "the violent propensity of the inebriated Eddie Griffin."
