Celebrity chef Todd English has been sued for sexual harassment and a bombshell lawsuit

Celebrity chef Todd English is facing serious allegations in a bombshell lawsuit alleging he sexually assaulted and abused a woman in 2015. His ex-girlfriend Wenjie Song is also named in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit filed by Kelly Forman in New York State Supreme Court details the alleged abuse that left her with “severe burns and permanent nerve damage.” Forman, who suffers from a traumatic brain injury caused by an unrelated horseback riding accident, claims she was drugged and assaulted by English and Song after a dinner party in April 2015. The lawsuit alleges that English forcibly kissed Forman several times, despite her protests, and later both English and Song attempted to entice her into unwanted sexual activity. The lawsuit also alleges that Forman woke up the next morning with severe burns and a torn vagina, with no memory of how the injuries occurred. Doctors later confirmed third-degree burns, which the lawsuit says were likely inflicted while she was drugged and unconscious.

“There were six gaping holes in her left forearm; “The skin around the holes in her arm was black and dead,” the lawsuit says. “Forman could see the hideous wounds but had no feeling on her left forearm. Forman also recognized that she had suffered a painful vaginal tear that had not existed before she woke up in the attic.”

In the lawsuit, Forman also claims that the attack left her with lasting physical and emotional trauma. Photos of her injuries were also attached to the lawsuit. English, known for his upscale Olives restaurants and numerous television appearances, vehemently denies the claims. His attorney, Bryan Sullivan, called the allegations “outrageous” and described the lawsuit as a “frivolous money grab.” (agencies)
