George Foreman Countersues Woman Who Accused him of Abuse

George Foreman Countersues Woman Who Accused him of Sexual Abuse in the 1970s, Claims She Tried to Extort $12 Million

Former heavyweight boxing champion, George Foreman was sued last summer by two women who claimed he sexually abused them 45 years ago when they were underage. Now, the former gold medal Olympian is countersuing alleging she tried to extort $12 million from him before she filed the lawsuit.

According to TMZ Sports, Foreman filed his paperwork on Monday against his accuser, Gwen H.

The media outlet obtained documents stating that Foreman had acknowledged that he can’t sue his accuser for the allegations she has levied at him in her lawsuit. Yet, he stated that since she spoke at a news conference about the allegations three months after she filed, she stepped outside that protection.

During the news conference, she went into detail about the allegations against Foreman. She stated, “He asked me to remove my clothes, and if I didn’t then my father would be fired, so I complied.”

In the legal paperwork submitted to the court, the retired boxer contends that Gwen H’s sexual abuse accusations, which she repeated during the press conference are “entirely fabricated” and the alleged victim has “zero corroborating evidence in the form of documents, photographs, letters, or witnesses to support Gwen’s false claims against Foreman.”

He also asserts that she is “hoping that the passage of time will excuse her complete lack of evidence.”

In the lawsuit, Foreman also says that she had allegedly requested more than $12 million from him to make her hold off from going public with what he labeled “her bogus claims.” Due to what has gone on since she filed the lawsuit, Foreman had stated that says he has suffered “anxiety, sleeplessness, worry, shock and humiliation” since she held the press conference. Now he is suing her for unspecified damages.

TMZ reported in July that two women whose fathers were apparently friends with and had a working relationship with Foreman several decades ago, sued him accusing him of grooming and then eventually sexually abusing them when they were underage. they alleged this took place in the 1970s.

Foreman has denied the accusation.

“Over the past six months,” Foreman said, “two women have been trying to extort millions of dollars each from me and my family. They are falsely claiming that I sexually abused them over 45 years ago in the 1970s.”

“I adamantly and categorically deny these allegations. The pride I take in my reputation means as much to me as my sports accomplishments, and I will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies.”
