Actor Ryan Phillippe is denying allegations by his ex-girlfriend that he physically assaulted her and threw her down a flight of stairs at his home earlier this year.
Elsie Hewitt, a 21-year-old model, filed a lawsuit against the "Crash" actor, 43, in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, asking for no less than $1 million in damages for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Los Angeles officials investigated the matter, but no charges were filed.
