Elsie Hewitt Tweets After Alleged Ryan Phillippe Assault, Posts Graphic Photos
Elsie Hewitt is accusing Ryan Phillippe of assault, and her tweets from around the time of the alleged assault hint at significant turmoil.
A 21-year-old model, Hewitt filed a civil lawsuit against Phillippe, 43, for allegedly kicking, punching and throwing her down the stairs.
The alleged incident occurred July 4.
Phillippe denies the incident, and on Tuesday, authorities closed the criminal investigation into the matter without filing charges.
The actor’s rep said in a statement:
“As a staunch advocate for the health, well-being and equality of women, Ryan is completely devastated [by] these false allegations.”
“Domestic violence is an incredibly serious issue and fabricated and proven false claims should not be used to unjustly slander the falsely accused.”
“The claims are false.”
Not so, says Hewitt, who claims that on July 3, Phillippe had left a party after “being ignored [by Hewitt],” and all hell broke loose after.
Hewitt alleges that she went to his house with a friend to pack up her things in the early hours of July 4, and a physical altercation ensued.
On June 29, Hewitt tweeted that she was “having a [really] ugly day.” The following day, she cryptically tweeted: “[Why are you] texting me.”
A day after the alleged assault, the model tweeted: “At the end of the day your word is your only clout but everyone’s a f–king liar anyway, so.”
“I woke up and ate a huge bowl of pasta at 10am and the whole time I ate it I was like wtf elsie but I still didn’t stop and now I feel sick.”
On July 6, she tweeted: “[You] know there’s something wrong when you’d rather sit in silence than sit there with music,” later adding:
“Completely f–king broken [right now]. That is all.”
Hewitt claims that she saw Phillippe – whom she had been dating since April but split from in July – “repeatedly abusing” drugs.
Specifically, “a panoply of legal and illegal drugs, including without limitation: cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and steroids.”
The model says Phillippe “increasingly combined these drugs with excessive alcohol consumption,” and that it impacted his behavior.
As a result, he “often exhibited symptoms attendant of drug and alcohol abuse, including mood swings and bouts of anger.”
A source close to the star, however, claims it was Hewitt who was under the influence July 4, and that he did nothing wrong.
“Elsie showed up to Ryan’s house uninvited and under the influence a few days after he had broken up with her,” a source told People.
“She physically attacked Ryan.”
“She caused a scene and refused to leave his home. As she was removed from the premises, she claims she fell and injured herself.”
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department says Hewitt requested and was granted an emergency protective order.
The order expired July 12.
A report on the incident was forwarded to the Los Angeles City Attorney, who decided not to file criminal charges, as we stated above.
Keith Fink, Hewitt’s lawyer, dismisses any suggestion that his client had filed the suit simply as a means of obtaining fame and money.
She claims he “violently threw her down his staircase as hard as he could” and then “tossed her down the stairs a second time.”
Hewitt also supplied a number of photos of bruising and injuries (above, below) that she alleges she suffered as a result of the altercation.
Hewitt was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with injuries, and police issued the emergency protective order and filed a report.
She claims that she suffered significant chest wall pain, abrasions and severe bruising, and is asking for $ 1 million as a result.
Again, there are two sides to this story, and Ryan’s is that these injuries were not sustained as a result of anything he did to her.
The photos may be provocative, but it’s important to note that he denies this as the case is still playing out in the legal system.
Stay tuned.

Ryan Phillippe: Accused of Brutally Beating Ex-Girlfriend
Elsie Hewitt, the ex-girlfriend of Ryan Phillippe, has filed a lawsuit against the actor in which she accused him of serious physical abuse.
According to the legal documents, Phillippe kicked, punched and threw Hewitt down a flight of stairs during an argument between the pair on July 4.
Hewitt alleges that she went to her then-boyfriend’s house on that date to pick up some items, only to run into a very drunk Phillippe.
Per TMZ, the model says she tried talking to the TV and movie star, only for him to attack her, grabbing her upper arm so hard that he left bruises… before violently tossing her down the stairs as hard as he could.
She claims he then hurled her down the stairs a second time and screamed for her to “get the f-ck out of my house, you crazy cunt!”
Hewitt says the altercation started after Phillippe left a party early because he thought she was ignoring him.
In the civil suit, the Guess model also says she saw the actor – who she dated since April, yet split from in July – ”repeatedly abusing a panoply of legal and illegal drugs, including without limitation: cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and steroids…”
A section reads as follows:
“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.”
Hewitt went to the hospital, talked to police after the alleged incident and was granted a protective order.
She suffered chest wall pain, abrasions and severe bruising and is seeking over $ 1 million in damages.
Countering these claims, sources tell both People Magazine and TMZ that Hewitt was the one who was drunk and that she showed up at Phillippe’s residence days after the pair broke up.
“She physically attacked Ryan, caused a scene and refused to leave his home,” an insider tells People, adding:
“As she was removed from the premises, she claims she fell and injured herself…
“She has since tried to seek revenge and fame by sending glamour shots of herself to media outlets with a false story of domestic violence.”
But an attorney for Hewitt also spoke to People and said this suit isn’t about money or fame.
“She’s not going to take a dime, I am not making a dime, [if she wins the case] the money is going to a domestic violence charity,” Keith Fink says.
Shortly after news of her lawsuit went viral, Hewitt shared the following photo on Instagram:
She included with it the following caption:
we spend a lot of time on here showing our happiest moments and it’s easy to assume someone’s life is perfect.
everyone’s fighting their own battles that they understandably choose not to share. sometimes it’s crazy to me that people show interest in me/my life when I’ve shared so much more of what I’m doing and how I look as opposed to who I really am.
I’m a very private person but there are some tribulations I’ve been facing recently so I wanted to say thank u guys for your love, thank you to those who have been there for me, and thank you for those in my life who haven’t, for teaching me a good lesson.
I think it’s important to feel all your feelings, both happy and sad in order to overcome and to grow stronger. everyone is on their own path and has their own pain. always get back up, keep trying and stand up for yourself and what you believe in.
i’ll keep working hard and working on lifting my spirits and if anything, just take this as a positive reminder to be the best and kindest you can be in a struggling world full of enough suffering and hatred.
i love u.

Ryan Phillippe: Engaged to Paulina Slagter!
There was nothing cruel about Ryan Phillippe’s intentions over the holidays. He popped the question to Paulina Slagter and she said yes!
It was actually a long time coming. The 41-year-old actor has quietly been dating the 24-year-old law school student for four years.
The pair got engaged in Miami and will continue celebrating by ringing in 2016 at the Five Star New Year’s Eve event on Watson Island.
They were also spotted out with friend Brittny Gastineau (apparently) on Monday night, after news of their impending nuptials first broke.
Ryan could not stop gushing about his love during an interview with Howard Stern in April, hinting at the possibility of an engagement.
“She’s awesome. When people see her they have judgments because she could be a model but she’s about to graduate Stanford Law.”
“It’s [serious]. I’m not opposed to [getting married again].”
Ryan was famously married to actress Reese Witherspoon from 1999-2007; the pair share daughter Ava, 16, and son Deacon, 12.
He also has daughter Kailani, 4, with Alexis Knapp.
Congratulations to the couple on their engagement! Here’s a look at some of the soon-to-be married company they share this year:
