Anthony Anderson is the host of the NAACP awards who hopes he "wins it." Birds of a feather they say...
Rape and sexual assault allegations
Anderson and second assistant director Wayne Witherspoon were accused of raping a 25-year-old extra in a trailer on the film set of Hustle & Flow on July 27, 2004. The alleged victim accused Anderson and Witherspoon of forcibly removing her clothing, photographing her naked body, and digitally penetrating her. A witness claimed to have heard the alleged victim's screams and to have seen her run naked from the trailer, and she was treated at St. Francis Hospital. The charges were dropped on October 6, 2004 because the judge ruled that there was no probable cause to try the case.
Anderson was sued for sexual assault in September 2004 by another woman who claimed that Anderson made sexually suggestive remarks and then assaulted her in his dressing room on the set of All About the Andersons.
On July 20, 2018, it was revealed that he is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department for another sexual assault allegation.On September 4, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office announced that it would not be filing charges against Anderson due to lack of evidence.
