LOS ANGELES — Charlie Sheen is striking back at a woman who accused him of abuse in a televised interview, by suing her for extortion.
Capri Anderson, shown at left, was found locked in the bathroom of Sheen’s Manhattan hotel suite last month. He filed suit hours after Anderson went on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and accused him of using racial slurs and grabbing her by the throat.
Sheen’s lawsuit claims Anderson threatened to make false allegations about the star unless he paid her $1 million.
Sheen’s filing pre-empts a lawsuit Anderson said she would file against Sheen for battery and false imprisonment.
A phone message for Anderson’s attorney, Keith Davidson, wasn’t immediately returned. The Associated Press
