‘The Last Of Us’ Ashley Johnson Sues ‘Critical Role’ Star For Sexual Abuse
deadline.comThe Last Of Us actor Ashley Johnson has sued her ex-boyfriend and Critical Role star Brian W. Foster alleging sexual battery, stalking and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other charges.
Six other women joined the graphic civil lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. “Fueled by chronic abuse of drugs and alcohol, Defendant Brian Wayne Foster has, for the last decade, demonstrated a disturbing pattern and practice of chilling and depraved behavior towards women,” according to the lawsuit. “The women unfortunate enough to have crossed his path were subjected to a common thread of physical and sexual violence as well as mental and emotional abuse.
Foster has left a trail of victims whose lives he sought to control through various lies, threats, intimidation, and manipulation.” One of the plaintiffs is Johnson’s sister, Haylie Langseth, who alleges in the lawsuit that she was groped and harassed by Foster, who “reeked of alcohol” at a family party in front of her children.
According to the lawsuit, Johnson said Foster threatened to extort her by releasing “personal information.” She also said she faced “consistent acts of physical intimidation including but not limited to punching through glass, throwing objects, and screaming obscenities in [Johnson’s] face.” You can read the entire complaint here.
