According to Foreman’s countersuit, the charges are completely invented, and there is no supporting evidence in the form of papers, pictures, letters, or witnesses to corroborate the fraudulent assertions against Foreman. According to him, his accuser is hoping that the passing of time will explain her utter lack of proof.
Foreman reiterated his claim from July that he was the victim of extortion, claiming that his accuser requested $12 million to prevent her from disclosing the specifics of her case. The 74-year-old is asking for an undisclosed amount in compensation and claims that since the press conference, he has had “anxiety, sleeplessness, worry, shock, and humiliation.”
Since then, he has become a hot topic of discussion, with many people trying to find out more about him. So, here’s what we know about him:
