The musician’s lawyer, Orin Snyder told People that his client believes Jeffrey is coming forward with these scandalous statement in a an attempt to make a quick buck:
“This baseless lawsuit is brought by a disgruntled former security officer seeking to extract an undeserved payment.”
The attorney added the 69-year-old is flat-out denying that he ever assaulted the member of his security team, continuing:
“These claims are patently untrue and contradicted by numerous previous statements made by this plaintiff. We will not give into his latest abuse of the legal system.”
