A Playboy model has accused Ryan Phillippe of assaulting her earlier this year.
Elsie Hewitt filed a $1 million lawsuit against the actor and ex-boyfriend, claiming assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The 21-year-old, who was Playboy's Miss June 2017, alleges that the 43-year-old actor kicked, punched and threw her down a flight of stairs during a fight that happened on July 4 of this year.
She claims during the fight at the actor's house, Hewitt gathered her things to leave and that, "Phillippe reacted by attacking Hewitt. He grabbed Hewitt's upper arm so tightly that his grip left heavy bruises on her arm hours later. He then braced his body and violently threw her down his staircase as hard as he could."
The claims go on to allege, "When Hewitt finally made it back to the top of the second staircase to pick up her belongings, Phillippe repeatedly grabbed Hewitt, struck her, cornered her, kicked her, and aggressively pushed her to the ground."
A source close to Phillippe tells E! News that, "there is no restraining order presently in force if any kind" and that there was an emergency protective order, but it was terminated a few days after the alleged incident.
Police issued an Emergency Protective Order against Phillippe on July 6, forcing him to stay 100 yards away from the model. Hewitt alleges that she told cops that the actor was trying to contact her and she feared he would "cause her additional injury."
Phillippe's most famous relationship has been with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, whom he was married to from 1999-2007. They have daughter Ava and son Deacon. The "Shooter" star also has a 6-year-old daughter named Kai from a relationship with actress Alexis Knapp.
