Keeping aside his professional accolades, the allegations made against him have labeled him a predator.

She added how she couldn’t go against him. She added how she would visit Danny Elfman often at his home and sleep with clothes on in his bed besides him. The suit mentions an episode as Jane says in 2002; Danny revealed that, “Every time you have ever slept next to me, I would masturbate next to you.” This led to her ending the relationship out of shock, humiliation, and shame.
Jane Doe XX is suing Danny Elfman with his company Musica de la Muerta for a*xual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, gender violence, s*xual harassment, and negligence. A spokesperson for Elfman has decided on the allegations and said, “The allegations of misconduct made against Mr. Elfman are baseless and absurd. His legal team is assessing all options, and he will vigorously defend these claims in court.”
