Leo Slapped With "Titanic"-Sized Lawsuit
The A-list Titanic star is facing a $45 million lawsuit filed by a B-list Porky's star who claims Leo sicced a goon on him over A-to-B list Showgirls star Elizabeth Berkley.
Gives new meaning to the phrase: Star Wars.
The suit, brought by actor Roger Wilson, was filed Tuesday.
In court papers, Wilson, 41, claims he was attacked by a member of DiCaprio's "posse" outside Manhattan's Asia de Cuba restaurant on March 4, 1998.
The actor alleges he was struck twice, severely damaging his throat and larynx. Wilson claims he would have been pounded more had it not been for another "posse" boy who pulled his attacker away.
A DiCaprio lawyer denied the charges. Strongly.
"These allegations are absolutely false," attorney Paul Callan said in a statement.
According to the lawsuit, the dispute was sparked when Wilson confronted DiCaprio and pal Jay Ferguson, another actor, over alleged phone calls to Berkley, Wilson's live-in girlfriend since 1996.
The lawsuit alleges Ferguson claimed responsibility for the Alexander Graham Bell action.
Ferguson is also named in the suit, as are three other men--two of them actors, one a publicist.
Wilson played Mickey Jarvis in the teen-sex comedies, Porky's (1981) and Porky's II: The Next Day (1983).
Of late, he is best known for a rumor that had him socking DiCaprio in the eye on Oscar Night 1998. That reputed tiff was about, natch, Berkely. (Leo's camp denied the story.)
Wilson and Berkley's love match seems rarely out of the spotlight--or court dockets.
Last year, he accused an ex-girlfriend, model Kathleen McManamon, of harassing him and Berkley. The threats were said to be issued via, natch, the phone.
McManamon quietly pleaded guilty to the charges in June 1998--a move that likely was good news to, natch, DiCaprio. Prior to trial, her lawyer floated the idea of calling, natch, Leo as a character witness.
And so concludes another episode of The Young and the Restless.
