British presenter sues Arnie | London Evening Standard | Evening Standard - Graham Atkins

 



British television presenter who alleges she was molested by Arnold Schwarzenegger is to sue him for libel over his claim that she encouraged the incident.

Anna Richardson claimed the 56-year- old Terminator star touched her breast as she tried to interview him at the Dorchester Hotel in December 2000 about his film The Sixth Day for her London Weekend Television show Big Screen.

A spokesman for Schwarzenegger said she encouraged the behaviour.

Vicar's daughter Miss Richardson, who was 29 at the time, was furious about the response and is now claiming it damaged her reputation as a professional interviewer by presenting her as someone who uses sex as part of her interview technique.

She is expected to file a £100,000 libel suit later this week, which could cost the actor in excess of £1million in legal fees.

Miss Richardson has reportedly enlisted libel lawyer Graham Atkins, who has recently had successes on behalf of Kate Beckinsale and Cat Deeley in defamation cases.

The re-emergence of the allegations came just days after Schwarzenegger admitted taking a training course about steering clear of sexual harassment claims.

His campaign to become Governor of California was almost derailed by allegations that he had groped and molested 16 women.

The claims ranged from grabbing a woman's breast in a gym in 1975 to spanking a woman in a West Los Angeles sound studio 15 years later. Read more---->>>>>

Governor Settles Lawsuit - Graham Atkins

  SACRAMENTO —    Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has settled a lawsuit in London brought by a former British TV host who accused the governor of fondling her and later said the governor’s aides had smeared her reputation, attorneys for both sides said Friday. Anna Richardson, a former late-night personality, sued Schwarzenegger and two of his top aides in London’s High Court in May 2004. She accused them of falsely saying she had forced herself on Schwarzenegger and said the accusation was intended to protect his “ruthless political ambition” during the 2003 recall. In the final week of that turbulent campaign, Richardson was among several women who told The Times that Schwarzenegger had groped them in the past. Her libel action came after Schwarzenegger’s publicist accused Richardson in The Times of being the aggressor during the alleged encounter. Another top aide denied that inappropriate action had occurred with any women. Attorneys for the Republican governor and Ri...
