George Foreman Denies Sexual Assault Allegations In Forthcoming Lawsuit, Claims He Is Being Extorted

George Foreman says he is being targeted by two women who are accusing him of sexual abuse in the 1970s and that he denies all their claims, calling them an extortion attempt.

In a statement published Wednesday, the iconic heavyweight champion asserted that the two women have been trying to extract “millions of dollars” from him for the past year.

“Over the past six months, two women have been trying to extort millions of dollars each from me and my family,” Foreman said. “They are falsely claiming that I sexually abused them over 45 years ago in the 1970s. I adamantly and categorically deny these allegations.

“The pride I take in my reputation means as much to me as my sports accomplishments, and I will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies. I am, and always will be, guided by my faith and trust in God. I will work with my lawyers to fully and truthfully expose my accusers’ scheme and defend myself in court. I don’t pick fights, but I don’t run away from them either.”

TMZ reported that the lawsuit will be filed this week in Los Angeles by the two women “whose fathers apparently had a friendship and working relationship with Foreman decades ago.”

TMZ’s sources also indicated that the two women have been seeking $12.5 million each from the 73-year-old Foreman.

A ferocious puncher, Foreman came up in the last golden age of American heavyweights, dueling with the likes of Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. In 1974, Foreman was knocked out by Ali during their “Rumble in the Jungle” heavyweight clash in Zaire, regarded as one of the most famous moments in sporting history. Never quite the same after suffering that upset loss, Foreman retired three years later.

After a decade away from the sport, Foreman, a newly-born Christian, made his famous comeback trail in 1987 at the age of 38, setting up what would become the most impressive accomplishment of his career.

Foreman made history in 1994, when he became the oldest heavyweight champion at 45 with a 10th-round knockout victory over 26-year-old Michael Moorer.

The native Texan eventually retired at 48, in 1997, after a points loss to Shannon Briggs. He finished with a 76-5 record, with 68 knockouts.

Foreman has made millions using his name, most notably with the George Foreman Grill.

As soon as I read the thread title, I thought this would be some 1960's or 1970's ancient stuff, as usual.
I don't want to demean women, or trample on their rights, but 40 nearly 50 years after the fact?
Come on...
On the positive side 73 is a decent age for a guy not always at peak weight (so to speak) so keep on keeping on George

Think the day the judges start ruling these women have to sell there house , belongings and give there bank accounts to whoever they accuse , if they lose the case is the day it will stop 45 years to remember you were assualted , give me a break

[H8Usernames]

Amazing how you fellows can't even consider the possibility that he is guilty. I for one think that he is. It sounds like these women were underage when George used his friendship with their fathers to gain access to them. That's pretty low really to use weak men to access their underage daughters. How underage were they? Older than 15 I hope. I've never bought into this darling act from George, you can see that he is a phony a mile away. Hope he gets exposed for what he really is.

It shouldn’t, that’s how the law is supposed to work, but we’ve seen far too many instances of women succeeding in complaints for incidents that took place several decades prior!

If you believe otherwise, then you’re an absolute idiot!

No woman will ever succeed in a complaint if you have anything to do with it, soldier; keep up the good work defending your gender, bro

[Counter-puncher]

what's so touching about EO's selfless stance against rape victims is that, as a lifelong virgin Incel, the redressing of the balance that he is perpetuating, away from alleged and potential rape and sexual assault victims and in favour of alleged and potential rapists, is one he'll never have to take advantage of himself.

I believe in evidence and reasonable timescales.

I don’t know what I was precisely doing on this day five years ago, let alone several decades ago.

It’s not about genitalia or misogyny.

But you'd remember it clearly if you were raped on that day.

believe me bro, you are absolutely the last person I associate with genitalia; or, at least, with male genitalia. Though you do, of course, do an excellent impersonation of a gaping wide vagina, I consider that entirely coincidental.

The facts don’t care about your feelings.

The two women have asked for a combined total of $25m for alleged crimes that took place roughly fifty years ago, despite the lack of witnesses and physical evidence, such as DNA, fingerprints, injury etc.

Both women haven’t filed their lawsuit against George yet. They’ve threatened to file a lawsuit against Foreman unless they receive the money they’ve demanded.

The names of the women involved in these allegations haven’t been made public yet.

It was George Foreman that told the media of this impending lawsuit, because he feels these women are trying to “extort millions of dollars” from him and his family.

He’s refusing to cave into their demands and is willing to go to court to clear his name.

So they're kinda blackmailing him at the moment. "Pay up, or we file these suits.."

What Big G has done, is taken control a little. Instead of waiting for them to tell the public of file the lawsuit, he's mentioned it himself.

You stated that the law favours the alleged victims and in this case it hasn't. You and we don't know the evidence and he is still presumed innocent until proven guilty. You've jumped to a conclusion to support your incel rant.

Not necessarily, he could have been approached by their lawyers demanding damages and he has contested it and is taking it to court. Not quite the same as blackmail.

I expressed an opinion on the law, not George Foreman’s potential sexual assault lawsuit.

There have been many instances of women succeeding in complaints for incidents that took place several decades prior, despite the lack of credible witnesses and physical evidence, such as DNA, fingerprints, injury etc.

Sometimes, even when incidents occur within a relatively short timescale to the filing of complaints, the law will often favour the alleged victim despite the evidence only being of “he-said-she-said” in nature (i.e. Tyson-Washington in the US or Depp-Heard in the UK).

In terms of the Foreman sexual assault lawsuit, he’s taken control of the media narrative by announcing his intention to go to court to clear his name, because he doesn’t want to be extorted (blackmailed) out of $50m dollars.

These two women, who must be in their seventies (or at least imminently approaching it) aren’t asking for justice, they just want money for accusations of alleged incidents that took place almost half a century ago they probably can’t prove.

That statute of limitations has run out so they can't ask for justice. They can only ask for a court of law to acknowledge the wrongdoing should there be any. Again, I am not saying Foreman is guilty or innocent, you just jumped to the defence of any man accused of a sexual assault stating his innocence because he's a man which says a lot about your character.

Also, there was no Depp Vs Heard in the UK. It was Depp Vs News Group and it was a defamation case for libel that Depp brought against the papers. Before you make any further statements on that, it's clear that Heard is a liar and no victim in that situation and in the US case for defamation between the two, Depp won on the majority of charges so it's barely an example in your favour.

Case closed. Enjoy your day.

I believe that the law is flawed and people shouldn’t be able to file civil lawsuits, without possessing any credible compelling evidence, for alleged incidents that took place several decades prior.

The law usually favours the perceived “victim” during instances where the evidence is only “he-said-she-said” in nature.

Innocent people can be blackmailed if they refuse to pay a fraudulent “victim” in order to avoid a costly civil lawsuit, because the law usually favours alleged victims, despite the obvious absence of compelling evidence.

Also, there was no Depp Vs Heard in the UK. It was Depp Vs News Group and it was a defamation case for libel that Depp brought against the papers.

The judge in the UK refused to consider certain evidence presented by Depp’s team and then stated that the Sun had successfully proved their allegations of sexual abuse in their article to be "substantially true".

Amber Heard attended court in the UK as a witness and the judge believed her accusations of sexual assault, despite the evidence only being of “he-said-she-said” in nature.

Before you make any further statements on that, it's clear that Heard is a liar and no victim in that situation and in the US case for defamation between the two, Depp won on the majority of charges so it's barely an example in your favour.

If you watched the Depp-Heard trial in the US, you’ll surely appreciate Amber’s evidence was only “he-said-she-said” in nature.

The jury in the US wholeheartedly believed that Amber Heard behaved with wilful malice when she defamed Johnny Depp, which makes the UK ruling incredibly unfair.

You also refrained from acknowledging my other reference to the Tyson-Washington lawsuit, where the allegations were supported by evidence that was only “he-said-she-said” in nature.

Case closed. Enjoy your day.
