The situation escalated when Elfman allegedly made an inappropriate comment linking the scenario to Donald Trump and reacted negatively when she expressed her political preference for Bernie Sanders, reportedly saying, “We can’t have a Jew running our country,” the outlet reported.
In the lawsuit, Abadi accuses Danny of defaming her by denying her allegations that he masturbated in front of her on several occasions and touched her inappropriately, TMZ reported. She asserts these incidents did occur, claiming his falsehoods have damaged her career and harmed her health. Abadi is seeking damages from Elfman.

Elfman, known for his work as a film score composer and as the lead singer of Oingo Boingo, denied these allegations. His representatives have countered Abadi’s claims by stating the substance in the glass was Cetaphil, a moisturizing cream, TMZ reported. This response came after a reported settlement where Elfman paid Abadi $830,000 to resolve a sexual harassment allegation.
