Pornstar accuses Warne of violence

- HT Correspond­ent

MUMBAI: Australian cricket legend Shane Warne is accused of allegedly hitting a London-based pornstar Valerie Foxx in the face, during a row in a nightclub. Foxx has registered her complaint with the police and has also shared photograph­s of the bruises she suffered on social media.

The 30-year-old Valerie has shared a photograph of her face on Twitter, describing the former Australian cricketer as a ‘vile creature’. “Proud of yourself? Hitting a woman? Vile creature,” wrote Valerie.

According to The Sun, there were witnesses to the incident that transpired between Warne and Valerie on Friday night at a nightclub in London.

The report claimed that Valerie was seen falling down on the floor ‘clutching her face’.

The local police is said to be investigat­ing the matter and also checking for CCTV footages from the Loulou’s in Mayfair, central London.

It was not known yet whether Warne and Valerie met in the club or came together.

In one of her earlier tweets on Friday, Valerie told

Warne just because he is famous he cannot ‘get away’.

“And no, I’m not lying. Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean you can hit women and get away with it,” she wrote.

Valerie had taken to Twitter posting news of her assault, but never mentioned Warne’s name.

The report added that Valerie’s complaint has been passed on to the Westminste­r borough command, as a card which she displayed described the police are investigat­ing an ‘assault’.

The Scotland Yard said in a statement, “Detectives are investigat­ing an allegation of assault alleged to have taken place in a nightclub on Hertford Street in Westminste­r in the early hours of Saturday. There have been no arrests and inquiries continue.”

Warne, who has been working in England as a cricket commentato­r, could face some trouble with his employers following this episode.
