A rep for Elton John says that sexual harassment allegations levied by a former security guard are "patently untrue."

The lawsuit claims that John had engaged in lascivious behavior, including twisting the guard's nipples while calling him a "gorgeous thing" and telling him to take out his "todger" and "say hello to Uncle Elton."

"This baseless lawsuit is brought by a disgruntled former security officer seeking to extract an undeserved payment.

These claims are patently untrue and contradicted by numerous previous statements made by this plaintiff.

We will not give into his latest abuse of the legal system," said John's lawyer.

The suit, from former John employee, Jeffrey Wenninger, also says that John "put his hands in Wenninger's pants" and "attempted to grab his genitals and put his fingers between Wenninger's butt cheeks."
