Elton John 'sued for sexual harassment' by former security guard who alleges singer tried to ‘force himself on him’

Singer Elton John is being sued for sexual harassment and battery by a former security guard who alleges the singer tried to force himself on him, according to a US report.

Jeffrey Wenninger has filed a lawsuit, seen by US website TMZ, against the 69-year-old where he claims Elton put his hands down his pants.

Jeffrey alleges the star ‘attempted to grab his genitals’ when the pair were in a car together in 2014. According to the lawsuit, the singer also told him to “get your todger out” and “say hello to Uncle Elton” in a separate incident, reports TMZ.

The ex-security guard, who is believed to have stopped working with the singer in September 2014, says he attempted to verbally and physically resist, but it allegedly didn’t stop the singer.

Jeffrey also alleges the singer twisted his nipples and said, “You gorgeous thing you”.
