Elton John is being sued by Jeffrey Wenninger due to an alleged sexual harassment case. The artist's press office has not yet made public any response regarding this case.
And who is Jeffrey Wenninger? According to account NME, Wenninger was Sir Elton John's security guard until September 2014. Wenninger tells in the lawsuit the multiple times when she had to put up with inappropriate behavior from the artist. The details of the former security guard's lawsuit manage to show an Elton John completely different from the one who has been appearing in the media for the past few years, always with that halo of happiness posing with her husband and children.
According to the lawsuit, Elton John tried to grab Jeffrey Wenninger's genitalia
The lawsuit recounts several events, such as Elton John "Put his hands in Wenninger's pants, trying to grasp his genitals and put his fingers between his buttocks", who went so far as to tell Wenninger that «The 'chorra' will be removed (uses the vulgar term "Todger") to greet Uncle Elton » or that he got to twist the ex-security guard's nipples while telling him what "magnificent" what was it. We will surely know more news about this lawsuit shortly.
Elton John was also in the news at the beginning of this month of March when it was learned that the Tate Modern in London will exhibit from next November 10 a part of the collection of modernist photographs that the artist owns, in an exhibition that will be called 'The Radical Eye' ('The Radical Eye'). This exhibition will consist of 150 photographs by more than 60 artists, among which are Aleksander Ródchenko, André Kertész and Man Ray and Berenice Abbott.
Both Elton John and her husband, David Furnish, expressed how honored they are to be able to lend part of their collection to this exhibition, which they describe as innovative: "The modernist era in photography is one of the key moments in history and collecting pieces from this period has brought me a lot of happiness over the last 25 years".
