The complaint says the two met in person in 2023 in Dresden, Germany, where she claims he showed her Nazi memorabilia from his collection.

According to the filing, the woman remained in contact with Glover despite what she described as odd behavior because he offered potential work opportunities in Hollywood.

In early 2024, she alleges he promised she could live in his Silver Lake residence and work as his assistant.

The woman claims Glover convinced her to stop paying rent on her European apartment and sell her belongings before moving to Los Angeles.

Upon arriving, she alleges she learned he expected her to be his live-in girlfriend and work without pay.

In the lawsuit, she states she had no family, friends, or contacts in Los Angeles and was dependent on Glover. She alleges he tracked her whereabouts and attempted to control where she went and who she interacted with.

The complaint details an incident on March 2, 2024. The woman claims she informed Glover she planned to leave the home to go to a mosque.

She alleges he told her she would be locked out if she left. She says she did not believe him and left the residence. When she returned, she claims she was locked out and told to find a new place to live.

She states her belongings and cats remained inside the home. According to the lawsuit, she attempted to enter the residence to retrieve her cats, at which point she alleges Glover attacked her.

She claims he grabbed her neck and choked her in a headlock, leaving a visible wound and scar.

The woman further alleges that Glover called the police and filed a false report claiming she was an unlawful intruder.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that officers responded to an assault report at Glover’s Silver Lake residence on March 2, 2024.

No arrests were made. According to those sources, Glover called the police and reported that a man and a woman had assaulted him.

The lawsuit states that Glover later filed for a restraining order against the woman. She claims the legal dispute caused permanent damage to her career and reputation.

She also alleges he continued contacting her in an attempt to manipulate her into a sexual relationship. She says she remains homeless and emotionally scarred from what she describes as a “traumatic” experience.

The woman is seeking damages. She is represented by attorney Dev Das of the Geragos & Geragos law firm.

In an update provided at 4:27PM PT, a representative for Glover responded to the allegations, stating: “Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms.”

The representative further stated:

“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. These facts are documented by law enforcement records and by the restraining order filed by Mr. Glover against Jane Doe at that time.”

The statement concluded: “Mr. Glover intends to vigorously defend himself and pursue all available relief. He is confident the judicial process will expose this lawsuit as a meritless fabrication.”

Efforts to reach Glover for additional comment were unsuccessful.
