Elton John sued by cop for getting all grope-y

A former member of Elton John’s personal security detail — who just so happened to be doing the work while off-duty from his regular gig as an LAPD officer — and Medal of Valor recipient — is suing the “Tiny Dancer” singer for sexual harassment and battery.

The suit, filed in Los Angeles Monday, alleges that from 2002 to 2014, John inappropriately touched Jeffrey Wenninger several times and made sexually suggestive comments. The suit also claims that the incidents escalated “in frequency and intensity after 2010,” though I’m not really sure what happened that year to make John so much bolder.

John’s attorney, naturally, is having none of it. “This baseless lawsuit is brought by a disgruntled former security officer seeking to extract an undeserved payment,” Orin Snyder tells the L.A. Times. “These claims are patently untrue and contradicted by numerous previous statements made by this plaintiff. We will not give into his latest abuse of the legal system.”
