Tom Daley’s Oscar-winning husband Dustin Lance Black was punched in the head after he allegedly grabbed a woman’s wrist in a London nightclub, a court has heard.
Dustin, who married the Olympic champion diver, 29, in 2017, is charged with assaulting Teddy Edwardes by beating her in Soho on August 18 last year.The American film-maker, 49, was due to stand trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on Tuesday but the case was adjourned and rescheduled to a later date because of missing evidence.
Prosecutor Adrita Ahmed said there was an “altercation in a nightclub” and that the Crown’s case is Dustin “grabbed Ms Edwardes’ wrist and twisted it”, causing a drink to spill on her.
