Former Denver radio host files lawsuit against Taylor Swift

DENVER (AP) — A former Denver radio personality has filed a lawsuit against singer Taylor Swift, saying he lost his job after being accused of inappropriately touching Swift during a photo session.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District court in Denver by David Mueller.

The lawsuit says Mueller was falsely accused by one of Swift's security team of grabbing the singer's buttocks backstage at the Pepsi Center on June 2, 2013.

It says Mueller was fired two days later from his job at KYGO radio.

The lawsuit says Mueller denies inappropriate contact with Swift and noted that he had met many other celebrities without incident.

A statement from Swift's publicist on Saturday says Mueller's employer was given evidence after the incident and made its own decision on his job status.

Shouldn't he be suing his former employer for wrongful dismissal or the security guard for false accusation? What has Swift got to do with his dismissal?

I would presume the guard was employed by Swift, and she was responsible for his actions.

And the guard probably has less money?

Going after the deep pockets.

Anyway, he can sue for defamation. I would. And i would go after Swift, and her pocketbook.

The only winners will be the lawyers, win or lose.

The former radio host could have his hands made over for marketing...as: "These hands touched the tush of Taylor Swift"

Every man-cave would clamor to hang these hands on the wall next to a picture of Taylor's bum...

Win-win...radio host gets rich...lawyers get nothing...and every man gets to imagine that it is his hands on that pretty bottom...

Law of agency. An employer is responsible for the acts of their employees when they're on the job. The guy would have had to be out of his mind to grope one of the most powerful women in entertainment industry. If his character has been unjustly defamed, he has every right to sue Swift, and good luck to him.

I assume Mueller and Taylor are never, ever, getting back together again.
