Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis arrested in Italy on sexual assault charges

 

Oscar-winning screenwriter and director Paul Haggis has reportedly arrested in Italy on sexual assault charges on an unidentified woman. 

According to Variety and Italian press, The Canadian filmmaker, 69, has also been charged with aggravated personal injury on the anonymous woman who pressed the charges against him.

Haggis, who famously wrote the Hollywood film Million Dollar Baby (2004), was arrested in Ostuni in southern Italy after allegedly forcing a young non-Italian woman to have non-consensual sexual relations over two days in Ostuni. 

The writer, who also co-wrote James Bond films Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008), was scheduled to hold a number of master classes at the Allora Fest film event.



The film festival is set to run from June 21 to June 26, and was created by Los Angeles-based Italian journalist Silvia Bizio and Spanish art critic Sol Costales Doulton. 

Bizio confirmed to Variety that Haggis was arrested, and that the event is "completely taking its distance" from the director.

An Italian police report suggested the alleged sexual assault victim was helped by airport staff and border police after the alleged assault took place.


She was taken to the Perrino hospital in Brindisi for assistance and later filed formal charges against Haggis. 

Haggis won the Best Picture Oscar for Million Dollar Baby, which starred Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. 

He also co-wrote and produced the crime drama Crash (2005), which won Best Picture the following year. 

The filmmaker created the action TV series Walker, Texas Ranger, which starred Chuck Norris. 

Haggis was sued in 2018 by publicist Haleigh Breest, who claims that the Oscar-winning screenwriter and producer violently raped her after a movie premiere in 2013. 

Haggis strongly denies the allegations made against him by Breest.

Woman, 23, insists she's not a gold digger after falling in love with a 56-year-old millionaire on Tinder

 


A 23-year-old lady has declared that she is not a gold digger and that her love is completely genuine for a millionaire - who is twice her age. 

Allana Luke and her fiancé, Jeff Winn who owns an 11-bedroom mansion insist they have found true love. 

The pair have been inseparable since their second date to Marbella where Jeff bought the ex-travel agent a pair of diamond earrings for her birthday. 



And Allana, whose mum compares the romance to the film Pretty Woman, wants everyone to know the love she has for Jeff is genuine. 

 “There’s no denying Jeff looks much older than me, which can cause people to roll their eyes when they see us,” she says. 

"They automatically assume I am just another girl after his money. I don’t blame them as it would be my first thought too. But I would still be with Jeff even if he lost the house and went bankrupt."



Since the couple met in 2020, Allana has been spoiled with an Audi TT, a Rolex watch, designer handbags and holidays to destinations such as Barbados and Thailand. 

But Allana, who was living in a council flat before she moved in with Jeff, says she is willing to sign a pre-nup before they marry and relinquish rights to the mansion – a former girls’ school in Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where the couple have a full-time cleaner, estate manager, bartender and three gardeners.

Allana, who says she has always liked older men, met Jeff on Tinder in October 2020.

She says: “I decided to increase the age range on my Tinder as I was fed up with immature guys my own age.

“I set it to 25 to 60-year-olds, and the next day I matched with Jeff. His profile made me stop as his photo was of him standing outside the house. His bio said he’d just finished restoring it so I thought it would be a good story to tell friends, even if it didn’t work out.”

Emeka Ike explains his absence from Nollywood and talks about his ex-wife and current wife

 

Nollywood actor Emeka Ike had an Interview with Sunday Scoop and it makes an Interesting read.



He said “Someone made a post about women abuse and tagged me. I felt violated because of my past experiences. I told him to not talk to me about gender abuse when we all know that the male child is facing serious tribulations right now. As a matter of fact, the male child is currently an endangered species. There is a lot of planning and plotting (by women) to grab successful men and expose them to extreme danger. It is a global thing, and I am really shocked about it. Men are really going through unexplainable things.”


On how he dealt with abuse in the past, Ike said, “I consoled myself, and was acting a tough man. I was busy looking for a noble person that had a noble beginning. I did not think any woman could bless me. I took myself to the wrong woman. I had to move, and remarrying was the best thing that happened to me. My wife loves me for who i am.”


Highlighting the losses he suffered at the height of the issues he had with his former wife, Suzanne, the actor said, “My school that I had laboured to build was shut down, and nobody said anything about it. I was actually en-route to the United States of America when I got wind of the news on the Internet. Students left the school crying, and all the teachers lost their jobs. Initially, I accused Segun Arinze, but I later found out who the culprit was. Assassins were following me. I wondered why I was blackmailed for being good.”

The actor also stated that his absence from Nollywood is as a result of the uncoordinated structure in the industry. He said, “Video discs used to be very popular then but people stopped buying them because of cable TVs and the Internet. Back then, whenever I made movies, people would queue at Idumota market (on Lagos Island) to buy them. We used to ship them to Tanzania, Cameroon, Ghana, and even beyond Africa.


 It became a money-spinner, and many of my colleagues started coming on board. We all started joining hands to make more movies. That was how we made money. But, the market was not insured. There was no capital base anywhere, neither was there any government allocation. The industry was built by individual efforts. The industry still has potential; it just needs help. To revive Nollywood, the government needs to empower guilds (and associations in the industry) instead of individuals.”
