Sources close to the situation said the woman finally felt comfortable enough to come forward months after the alleged incident occurred, due in part to the MeToo movement. The LAPD has confirmed the investigation.

“We have a crime report listing him as a suspect in a crime,” and added, “It is an open investigation.” Specific details regarding the alleged assault are currently still unclear.

A spokesperson for Anderson stated, “It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report whether it is true or false. The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim.”

The actor recently received his fourth Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy nomination for Black-ish. This isn’t the first time that the star has faced serious accusations.

In 2004, an extra onset of the movie Hustle & Flow accused Anderson and an assistant director of raping her in a trailer on the Memphis set. The case was later dropped after the woman’s testimony did not produce probable cause to warrant the charges standing.

Anderson is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this year.
