Ryan Phillippe Denies Beating Ex-Girlfriend But Not Being A Drug Abuser

Elsie Hewitt, a model who dated Ryan Phillippe since April is suing him for being violent with her. In her lawsuit, she describes a night of violence that the district attorney declined to prosecute. It doesn't mean Ryan didn't do it, and I think he did, but just means there was not enough for beyond a reasonable doubt. In a civil lawsuit, the threshold is much lower. Basically 50.1/49.9.

Phillippe denied beating Hewitt, but did not deny the claim Hewitt made about his drug use.

The Guess model claims that she saw the actor "repeatedly abusing a panoply of legal and illegal drugs, including without limitation: cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and steroids…”.

“Phillippe increasingly combined these drugs with excessive alcohol consumption and often exhibited symptoms attendant of poly drug and alcohol abuse, including mood swings and bouts of anger.”
