Black-ish star Anthony Anderson is currently being investigated by Los Angeles Police following a crime report by a woman after she catered an event thrown by the actor.
The Blast reports that the incident happened over a year ago after she met the actor while working at an event he threw. Sources close to the situation tell us she felt comfortable enough to come forward months after the alleged incident occurred, due in part to the “#MeToo movement.”
LAPD has confirmed to the The Blast, “We have a crime report listing him as a suspect in a crime,” and added, “It is an open investigation.”
The specific details regarding the alleged assault are currently unclear.
A spokesperson for Anderson tells us, “It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report whether it is true or false. The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim.”
