Tom Hanks' son Chet sued for $1m by ex-girlfriend over horrific abusehttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/tom-hanks-son-chet-sued-for-1m-by-ex-girlfriend-over-horrific-abuse-claims/SCRCNYXNLBWNODUPAZ2RAUW37I/?utm_campaign=nzh_tw&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=nzh_tw#Echobox=1618442578 claims

Tom Hanks' son Chet is being sued by his ex-girlfriend for $1 million.

The 30-year-old singer and actor is the subject of civil action from Kiana Parker, who is seeking damages for assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress in a suit she filed on Tuesday, a month after the White Boy Summer hitmaker filed his own lawsuit against his former lover for theft, assault, conversion and battery.

Chet Hanks' lawyer, Marty Singer, has branded Parker's allegations "false, fabricated and fictional".

He told the Daily Beast in a statement: "We consider the claims filed by Kiana Parker to be a shakedown … Her claims are completely false, fabricated and fictional."

Parker's lawyers, D'Angelo Lowe and Kevin Murray, branded Hanks a "clear and present danger" to their client in a press conference outside the Fort Bend County Justice Center in Richmond, Texas.

Murray added: "This is about violence within the confines of a relationship between a man and a woman, a man who mentally and physically and psychologically battered Kiana Parker.

In an affidavit obtained by People magazine, Parker accused Hanks of being physically violent on several occasions, as well as verbally abusive.
