The name of the plaintiff/woman is kept under wraps and she is getting addressed as Jane Doe.

The incident happened back in 2015 at a popular restaurant named Catch NYC, Manhattan. As per the lawsuit, this is how the incident progressed:

The plaintiff noticed Jamie sitting nearby when she was dining at the NYC restaurant. Her friend allegedly asked Jamie to pose for a photo at about 1 am.

The alleged response came from Jamie was, ‘Sure baby, anything for you,’ further adding ‘Wow, you have that supermodel body’ and ‘You smell so good’.

When Jamie took the plaintiff away and assaulted her sexually

The lawsuit claims Jamie then held the plaintiff by her ‘arm and pulled her to the back area of the rooftop’. That was where he began sexually assaulting her.

He allegedly slipped his hands under her top and rubbed her breasts. He is also accused of putting his hands down her pants and touching her genitals.

Jamie only stopped when the plaintiff’s friend came over looking for her.

The plaintiff had to undergo medical intervention for the injuries Jamie inflicted on her and she struggled through emotional distress, the lawsuit continues to claim.

A woman had accused Jamie of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement which the Oscar winner denied later on.

Earlier this year in April, Jamie was admitted to a hospital in Atlanta, citing an undisclosed ‘medical complication’. He was again the bullseye of another controversy later on for his anti-Semitic post on social media.
