Woman Who Colin Farrell Says Accosted Him Hits Back With Her Side of the Story, $10M Lawsuit
The woman who rushed the stage of The Tonight Show to talk to actor Colin Farrell is telling TMZ.com that she's filing a lawsuit against him, and there's more to the story than the public knows right now.
According to Dessarae Bradford, she and a private eye from Counter Force PI Services (based in Marina Del Rey, Calif.) served Farrell with court papers on the red carpet of the premiere of Miami Vice, roughly two hours after The Tonight Show altercation took place.
Bradford wants $10 million from Farrell, who she alleges committed numerous crimes against her including stalking, harrassment and slander.
Bradford says the Tonight Show incident was her first attempt at formally serving Farrell with the suit. She also stressed that the actor's reaction to her at the show is "nothing like Colin Farrell's PR team is trying to spin it to be."
"I am not stalking Colin Farrell, I am too self-absorbed to ever stalk anyone," Bradford said, in what appeared to be an attempt to be convincing.
Farrell filed a request for a restraining order against Bradford shortly after she accosted him.
"I am concerned that her harassing behavior has escalated and may pose an immediate threat to my well-being and the well-being of my family," said Farrell in documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Bradford is holding a press conference to tell her side of the story Monday afternoon. We will have the latest for you as this develops.

Sorry for all of you standing in line to hopefully nab Colin Farrell, but the man is now off the market again. Three weeks ago while filming in Vancouver Canada, Farrell flew into a torrent outrage about an individual working on the set leaking information about his new romantic interest. The woman has had a working relationship dating back to 2005 with Farrell as a pilot for him and his family. During the summer of 2007, things turned to more of a personal note for the two.
There are issues to overcome between the pair as the woman is Roman Catholic, legally separated and seeking full anulment, and if not granted, then divorce outside of the church. Now for the even better part, her estranged husband is a higher up in the Knights Of Columbus organization, and is fighting the separation by calling in various states Bishops to intervene. Seems he can't live with the thought of Farrell having ‘close knowledge' of his wife.
Farrell gathered cast and crew and after subjecting them to h
