Johnny Weir's estranged husband, Victor Voronov, filed a defamation suit against the figure skater who previously accused him of attempted rape and having herpes. In his lawsuit, Victor accused Johnny of spreading salacious lies when he appeared on "Access Hollywood" back in March.
During the interview, Johnny said his husband "asked me to lay in bed with him in the biblical sense, and when I refused, the altercation between us started. I was defending myself." According to Victor's suit, the interview had been watched by more than 2.5 million viewers and since then people kept searching him on Google.
Victor also claimed that Johnny, "in a fit of jealousy," sent a text message to another skater who was dating Victor, writing, "I just want you to know that he is crazy, not working anywhere, and he has Herpes. Did you guys have sex?" The message was originally written in Russian.
In his court documents, Victor said the allegations were not true. He is suing for unspecified damages.
Johnny's representative has not responded to the issue.
