David Copperfield Accused Of Assaulting & Drugging 17-Year-Old Model In 1988

Posted: 24 Jan 2018 07:31 PM PST

David Copperfield is the latest celebrity to be accused of sexual misconduct.

According to a report published on Wednesday, Brittney Lewis -- a former model -- tells TheWrap she was drugged and sexually assaulted by the magician back in 1988. She was 17 years old at the time of the alleged incident.

The two met in September of that year when Lewis was competing in Elite Model Management's "Look of the Year" modeling contest, where the performer was a judge.

When Lewis returned home to Utah, Copperfield invited her to one of his shows in California. Because she was a minor, he asked permission from her grandmother, Patricia Burton, and assured her that Brittney would be accompanied at all times and would be staying in a separate hotel room. Burton remembers:

"He said, 'Don't worry, I'll take care of her'... I believed him. He was very charming."

After his show, the two went to a bar where Lewis says she saw him pour something into her glass. She recalls:

"I asked, 'What are you doing?' and he said, 'Oh, I'm just sharing."'

After taking a few sips of her drink, Lewis says she blacked out but slightly remembers being carried into a cab, and him inside her hotel room where he wore a black robe with shoulder pads. Brittney then remembers him being on top of her, and kissing her with bad breath.

"I remember my clothes being taken off... He was kissing my face and then I remember him starting to go down on my body with his face, and then, as soon as he started going down, I just completely blacked out."

When she woke up the next morning, she remembers feeling sick and nauseous. Allegedly, Copperfield entered her room and told her:

"He wanted to me know that nothing happened because I was underage... He said: 'I didn't enter you.'"

Although there "was no fluid," Lewis believes he could have potentially "had a condom."

Lewis ended up leaving the trip early, but before jetting out of California, she says Copperfield made her write a letter saying she was okay.

A few months later, Lewis says she was contacted by Copperfield's assistant about going to his show in Utah, but she declined and said she never wanted to see him ever again.

Although Lewis says she filed a report with the FBI in 2007, a spokeswoman for the organization declined to comment. Despite coming forward with her story, Brittney does not plan on pursuing a criminal or civil suit against the now-61-year-old.

On Tuesday, TheWrap contacted Copperfield and his representatives but have yet to receive a response. On Wednesday, hours before the report was published, Copperfield posted the following message on social media giving support to the #MeToo movement, but also revealing what it is like to be "falsely accused."

A post shared by David Copperfield (@d_copperfield) on Jan 24, 2018 at 2:56pm PST

In 2007, Lacey Carroll accused Copperfield of sexually assaulting her at his house in the Bahamas, but charges were never filed. The accuser was later arrested and charged for making false sexual assault accusations against another man in Washington state.

In his letter, Copperfield urges everyone to not "rush to judgement" and to "consider everything carefully."

Burger King Explains Net Neutrality With Whoppers, And It Is SO Deliciously Simple!

Posted: 24 Jan 2018 06:11 PM PST

This is the most socially responsible commercial we've seen in a long time!

While Pepsi is trying to simulate wokeness with Kendall Jenner and H&M is doing... the opposite we guess, Burger King decided to use the power of advertising for good.

Specifically, in an incredibly frustrating "social experiment" in which customers had to deal with new "Whopper lanes" in which the fast food they were accustomed to was suddenly a lot slower.

It's a brilliant illustration of why #NetNeutrality is so important -- PLUS there's even a little Ajit Pai shade directly from the King!

Just Married Alt-Right Leader BANNED From Feminist Dating App Bumble After Twitter User Exposes Profile Tied To His Facebook Account!

Posted: 24 Jan 2018 05:43 PM PST

Jack Posobiec claims this is a frame job, but is he really just the worst person in every way?

The alt-right leader -- whose name you may have heard recently when Donald Trump was caught retweeting his B.S. -- isn't just seen as a racist. He's now dealing with reports that call him a POS cheater, too!

Why?

The conspiracy theorist (who helped promote the insane Pizzagate conspiracy that got a family pizza parlor shot up) was reportedly found on Bumble of all places.

A user of the female-empowerment dating app spotted the infamous far-right "political operative" and posted his profile pics on Twitter, asking if Bumble was now the place where "white nationalists/nazis go to cheat on their wives":


It wasn't long before Bumble actually messaged Lindsey to ask for more info!

She posted their speedy message as well:

She then sent them links to detailed descriptions of his activities, such as this one on Media Matters:


(But like most far-right clowns, you can find plenty of evidence of him bragging about his dumb exploits online.)

After doing their easy homework, Bumble banned the profile of a hatemonger (they're apparently better about that kind of thing than Twitter):


Posobiec, who just got married in November, claims to never have had a Bumble account. He says this is part of a smear campaign against him. Yet he does admit being alt-right. Weird.


His "hot Eastern European wife" (his words), Tanya Tay Posobiec, whom he says he met during Bible study in 2015, is also defending him:

Bumble, however, confirmed to Buzzfeed that the account was connected to Jack's Facebook account. They also noted that the dating account hadn't been active since 2016.

So it looks like he didn't try to cheat on his pregnant wife, just on his girlfriend who would eventually become his pregnant wife? Regardless, it's safe to say Jack -- and anyone claiming to be Jack -- is forever banned from the site. So brava, Bumble!

Oh. Did we mention he's the guy reportedly behind that "Rape Melania" sign?

James Franco Is 'A Mess' Over Allegations — But Can He Save His Image??

Posted: 24 Jan 2018 04:01 PM PST

Things are not going well for James Franco.

As five women came forward accusing him of sexual misconduct and exploitation, he has attempted to address the scandal head-on.

He spoke about the allegations with both Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers this month while promoting the Golden Globe-winning The Disaster Artist.

Video: Scarlett Johansson Calls Out Franco: 'I Want My Pin Back'

And People has confirmed that's the plan, despite the fact he hasn't really been his own best advocate. One inside source said:

"His team wants him to continue making public appearances. He thinks he can save his image."

It's obviously not going very well so far. And that is apparently taking its toll. The source continued:

"He looks like he hasn't slept for days. He's just a mess."

Another source agreed:

"This whole process has been very hard on him. He's been shaken up."

Our question is, can Franco's image be saved after all this? Or will it forever taint his career??

What do YOU think, Perezcious readers??

Khloé Kardashian Reveals Her Biggest Pregnancy Craving — And You Will NOT Believe It!

Posted: 24 Jan 2018 03:33 PM PST

From what we've heard, Khloé Kardashian is having a pretty easy pregnancy -- except for the interference by her sisters that is...

Maybe it's that the KUWTK star has gotten so in tune with her body over the past few years, but she certainly doesn't seem to be facing some of the challenges of other celeb moms like Kate Middleton and Kelly Clarkson.

Regardless, she posted to her app Wednesday an update titled "Yes I Have Pregnancy Cravings" in which she explains the reason you never see her talking about eating "an entire box of cookies" on Twitter or something it's because her preggers hasn't changed her diet that much:

"I just don't eat like that. But, if I'm craving something, I make sure I give it to myself."

She does not go so far as to reveal exactly what she craves, but we're going to guess good nutrition is so ingrained in the Revenge Body host at this point it's mostly delicious AND wholesome.

Khloé goes on:

"During my pregnancy, I'm obviously not beating myself up about what I'm eating at all."

And why should she?

The fitness guru knows she's just going to lose any extra weight, like, immediately! She's even looking forward to the challenge:

"I'm more encouraged by how, after the baby comes, I'm going to work off every pound. I'm actually really excited to get my body back. I can't wait!"

Khloé is still working out even now, though not nearly as hard:

"Of course, I can't go as hard as I did before, and I really do miss my intense workouts. Honestly, though, I'm just happy I still have the energy!"

Speaking of which, that is one craving she can't indulge in while pregnant -- energy drinks! She explains:

"They made me wired in the best way possible, LOL. My workouts are definitely not the same without them, but I'm proud of myself for staying so mentally strong right now!"

Only Khloé's biggest pregnancy craving would be more intense workouts! Ha!

How was YOUR pregnancy different, Perezcious moms??

Anne Heche Says She Was Fired From A Movie For Refusing To Give Harvey Weinstein Oral Sex!

Posted: 24 Jan 2018 02:42 PM PST

Anne Heche is the latest actress to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct.

On Tuesday, the Six Days, Seven Knights actress appeared on the Allegedly podcast where she says she was fired from a Miramax movie after she refused to perform oral sex on the producer.

While it is unclear which film she is referring to, the 48-year-old last acted in the company's 2001 feature Prozac Nation.

When asked why some alleged victims didn't come forward sooner, Ellen DeGeneres' ex responded:

"First of all, you were threatened the second you walk out the door. I personally did not suck Harvey's dick, although he showed it to me and I got out of the room before there was any physical contact... The fact is, I was fired from a job I had been hired for in Miramax. The repercussions of standing up for yourself were as deep and targeted as some of the scars of the women who actually got more physically unfortunately involved."

The thespian also accuses the disgraced exec of preying on young, "very vulnerable" girls who "come from hurt backgrounds."

"You're talking about girls, young actresses are very vulnerable. A lot of us come from hurt backgrounds. What happens when you come from a broken place, you don't have any guidance, you don't have support, a parent you can go to. And you certainly don't want to go to Harvey's partner and say this happened. You come to LA, you're alone, you don't have friends that you are being able to talk to and that's what he takes advantage of, that isolated, vulnerable girl... That's why every one of us was 19, 20, 21 or 22. He didn't go after the 40 year old woman. He hits on me when I'm 19, 20, 21, 22, vulnerable, scared, frightened."

However, Heche credits her dysfunctional childhood with giving her the courage to walk away from Weinstein's alleged attack.

"If I wasn't sexually abused as a child, I don't know if I would have had the strength to stand up to Harvey and many others."

Luckily, she says "there is no bigger monster" in Hollywood than Weinstein, and "it's great that he's being taken down."

We echo Anne's words, and we hope significant change will come from these reports.
