The Willard star allegedly "promised" her a place to live and employment if she came to Los Angeles in 2024.
"But when Ms. Doe took the bait and uprooted herself and moved to Los Angeles, she found herself in a disturbing situation where Mr. Glover wanted to control her actions and track her whereabouts and basically serve him as a live in girlfriend/s-- slave," the documents stated.
He then "unlawfully evicted" the woman after she "made it clear that she was not going to simply go along with Mr Glover’s increasingly bizarre and inappropriate demands," according to the complaint.

She claimed that the Alice in Wonderland actor "attacked her, grabbing her neck and choking her in a headlock," when she attempted to go back to the house for her belongings and pet cats.
Glover also allegedly "made a false police report and fraudulent petition for a restraining order against her" in retaliation to the woman asserting her rights, per the documents.
