Sex Pistols John Lydon 'Accused Of Beating Woman'

Sex Pistols star John Lydon has been accused of hitting a woman during the filming of a reality television show, according to court papers.

Roxane Davis, who was the assistant producer on the unnamed show, claims that Lydon hit her because he wasn’t happy with his hotel room.

The alleged incident, which is said to have taken place in January 2007, didn’t lead to criminal charges but, according to the Associated Foreign Press, Davis is understood to be now suing Lydon for assault.

A spokesperson for the Sex Pistol has yet to respond to the claims.

Sex Pistols are due top headline the Isle of Wight Festival later this month alongside Kaiser Chiefs and Sting.

Tickets for the festival have now sold out. For all the latest information on all this summer’s festivals, check out our new look Festival Guide.

It's her own fault for giving him an unsatisfactory room.

i dont care what they say. Sex Pistols are still awesome! She probably did deserve it tho!

[andy44]

who cares if she deserved it or not? john lydon should be able to do whatever the hell he wants!

[Pony_Rocker]

i seriously doubt this is true. lydon isn't some ponsy nob who wants a 5 star room, thats not what hes like.

[hiddeninromance]

publicity stunt?
I mean I had forgotten he was even doing a reality TV show untill this came out...
But then I case beating a woman is perhaps a bit to negative to be a succesful publicity stunt
..
If its true he is a dick...I love the sex pistols, naturally...but hitting a woman?
