TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Lenny Hochstein plans to present video footage, text messages, and other evidence to dispute the sexual assault allegations made against him in a lawsuit, claiming the evidence contradicts the accuser's claims.
- The video obtained by TMZ shows the accuser leaving Hochstein's Miami mansion smiling and appearing at ease, which his lawyer argues undermines her allegations of being drugged and assaulted.
- Hochstein's legal team also cites text messages exchanged after the incident and settlement demands made months before the lawsuit as evidence of the accuser's alleged financial motives.
- The accuser's attorney, Tony Buzbee, disputes the defense's portrayal of the evidence, stating the video does not change the case and that post-incident texts were about identifying the substance she was allegedly given.
- The lawsuit alleges Hochstein drugged the woman at his Star Island home and sexually assaulted her after she blacked out, with Hochstein denying all allegations.
