Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon has denied a fan’s claim that he sexually assaulted her, saying her story is “simply untrue,” according to the BBC.
Shereen Hariri said in a Facebook post (which apparently has been deleted) that Le Bon, now 59, was posing for photos and groped her “butt cheek” and began “making his way down my butt to my genitals” during an autograph-signing session at the Los Angeles record store where she worked in 1995.
“I was shocked and completely frozen,” she said, noting that she is seeking only an apology from Le Bon.
Hariri, who is now 47 and works as a therapist, said she was “afraid” to speak out in the years after the incident — “If I made a scene, I’d be in the press: The ‘Girl Who Accused Simon Le Bon’. I’d probably be fired, rejected, ignored, even hated,” she wrote — but had a...

Sixty years ago, on September 9 of 2009 a meteor (or something of that nature) crashed to earth, animating a small rural town. Not long after the discovery of the meteor, people start… morphing into savage animalistic beings, intent on wreaking havoc on this unsuspecting community, and ultimately: the world as a whole. But what the government would eventually label a modern plague, is perhaps even worse, as this enemy is clearly otherworldly, and the design behind this trip to earth is built upon an apparent invasion. The only significant question is, who the hell lives to tell about it?
