Nurse's Shocking Claims
Famed producer Aaron Spelling has been hit with a lawsuit, claiming he repeatedly placed his hand on the "groin and genital area" of the former nurse who cared for him.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Charlene Richards alleges Spelling also grabbed her breasts, exposed himself to her, and masturbated in her presence. And it gets even more lurid.
According to the lawsuit, the 82-year-old producer of 'Melrose Place,' 'Charlie's Angels' and other hits solicited oral sex, stuck his tongue in her mouth and talked "about his own sexual liaisons with actresses."
In the suit, Richards says that Spelling bragged "that he had many actresses who would come into his office and perform oral sex on him."
The lawsuit, filed against Spelling and his wife Candy, alleges sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination and sexual battery.
Spelling sued Richards for defamation last November, claiming she violated a confidentiality agreement by spreading rumors that he sexually harassed her. In that case, Spelling claimed Richards threatened to reveal secrets about him unless he paid her "an unspecified amount." Spelling's lawsuit alleges Richards' "goal in life is to find a rich man to support her in a lavish manner."
Bert Fields, Spelling's lawyer, tells TMZ, Richards' lawsuit is "totally baseless." Fields adds, "Anyone who knows Aaron knows that he would not, could not and never would behave in that way."
