Scott Harrison/Getty ImagesGeorge Clooney's next role could land him a prize for best supporting pal.
The Oscar winner is willing to get buddy Rande Gerber's back if a sexual-harassment lawsuit against Gerber (aka Mr. Cindy Crawford) winds up going to trial.
"I was with Rande the entire night, as were a lot of people, they will all say the same thing that I'm saying," Clooney said in a statement. "This event never happened. Period."
The "event" that Clooney and Gerber are disputing allegedly took place at the Gerber-owned Moonstone Lounge in the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. In their suit, two waitresses claim they were fired after refusing Gerber's attempts to kiss them and feel them up.
"George 100 percent supports Rande Gerber's position that what they say happened that night never happened," Clooney's rep, Stan Rosenfield, told E! News, adding that if Clooney is called to testify on his friend’s behalf, he will be there.
