Robbie Williams and Wife Sued for Sexual Harassment by Former Personal Assistant; Williams Denies Allegations

Singer Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field are being sued for sexual harassment.

E! News reported that the couple's former assistant Gilles De Bonfilhs has brought a suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against the couple for "sexual harassment, failure to prevent sexual harassment, discrimination, breach of employment contract, fraud" and other causes of action.

He is alleging that the 35-year-old actress "walked around in various stages of undress, shared details about her sex life, questioned him about his sex life and asked him to answer questions and comment on her body."

Although De Bonfilhs makes no sexual harassment allegations against Williams, the 41-year-old singer is still named as a defendant on court documents. De Bonfilhs worked as a personal assistant from October 2014 to January 2015 before he was "wrongfully terminated," according to the suit.

De Bonfilhs said he suffered embarrassment, humiliation and mental and emotional distress and is asking the court for "damages in excess of $25,000."

"The claims being made by a disgruntled former employee, after he was sacked for serious misconduct, are entirely without substance," a representative for the couple told E! News. "Any proceedings will be strenuously defended. There will be no further comment on the matter as it is in the hands of the lawyers."

Williams and Field tied the knot in 2010 after four years together and have two young children: 2-year-old Theodora Rose and 6-month-old Charlton Valentine.

Meanwhile, the couple is currently involved in a battle with their neighbor, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, over their plans to revamp their London mansion. Page has a rejected for the third time the couple's plans to modernize the estimated $27.5 million property, claiming that work of any type could have a detrimental effect on his ''extremely delicate'' home, The Tower House, according to the Daily Mail.
