A former Denver radio DJ filed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift after he said he got fired because he was accused of touching Swift inappropriately during a picture session. The radio DJ, David Mueller, sued Swift Thursday in the U.S. District court in Denver, reported Fox News.
Mueller attended a meet-and-greet for Swift with his girlfriend and co-worker Shannon Melcher. The two had their picture taken with the pop star and that was when she accused Mueller, saying he lifted her "skirt with his hands and grabbed her bottom," according to CNN. Mueller was immediately surrounded by Swift's security team and was removed along with his girlfriend. Mueller was fired from the KYGO radio station (where he was known as "Jackson") after a string of phone calls between Swift's team and the station.
"Mueller steadfastly maintains that no inappropriate contact of any kind occurred between him and Ms. Swift," the filing read, according to Variety.
A statement from Swift's publicist said that the radio station that Mueller worked for was given evidence of the incident, and made its own decision with the information granted.
The lawsuit was filed to replace Mueller's lost income since he was fired. At the time of the incident the radio DJ was making $150,000 a year. He worked in the radio industry for over 20 years before he was let go.
