Sonya Popovich - Former Girlfriend Sues Screenwriter Shane Black

On : 2009 Feb 20

Sonya Popovich, a former girlfriend of Shane Black has filed a lawsuit against the Hollywood screenwriter for assault, battery and emotional distress, reports TMZ.
 

Sonya claims, in 2006, a cocaine-fueled Shane put a gun in his mouth, threatened to blow his head off and then pointed it in her direction -- it discharged, hitting a wall.
 

She also claims he crushed and tried suffocating her during another incident during the same year. She says she was hospitalized for a hairline split in her esophagus that Shane allegedly inflicted. While in the hospital, Popovich alleges he visited her and on one occasion "crawled into [her] bed, removed a vial of cocaine from his pocket, sniffed some cocaine from the vial, and proceeded to masturbate in Plaintiff's hospital bed."
 

In her lawsuit filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Sonya is asking for more than $5 million.
 

Shane wrote some of the biggest blockbuster action films of the late 1980s and early 1990s, including Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout.
