Ryan Phillippe Breaks His Silence On Assault Allegations

Ryan Phillippe is speaking out
against the recent allegations from his ex-girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt, in
which she presented claims of assault, emotional
distress, battery, and drug abuse. 

Phillippe sent out a letter
on Twitter saying in part, “I am saddened and disgusted by the false
allegations circulated about me. At the time these allegations were initially
made, I fully cooperated with law enforcement and a thorough investigation was
conducted.”

He continues in his letter,
“As a man, raised by women, in a household where women’s rights, feminism,
and advocacy were very much at the forefront, I am sickened that my name can be
found in any article where domestic violence of any kind is being alleged.”
