- He is denying several accusations
- THIS is the latest from his saga
Copperfield is a household name. With a career shrouded in mystery and magic, Copperfield now faces a different kind of spotlight. This article delves into the allegations, Copperfield's firm denial, and his plans for legal action against the accusations that threaten to tarnish his legacy.
A Trick of the Light or a Darker Reality?
In the latest twist in a tale as perplexing as one of his own illusions, David Copperfield finds himself in the midst of controversy. 'The Guardian's' recent exposé has brought to light allegations from 16 women, casting a shadow over the illustrious career of the 67-year-old magician. But Copperfield isn't disappearing into the night; instead, he's pulling back the curtain and fighting back.
"Everyone that knows David will tell you these allegations are the exact opposite of who he is," asserts a representative for Copperfield.
With allegations spanning back to the late '80s, this isn't the first time Copperfield has found himself under scrutiny. Yet, the illusionist remains steadfast in his innocence, contemplating legal action against 'The Guardian' for their report.
With more than half of the accusers claiming they were minors at the time of the alleged incidents, the story takes on an even more sinister hue. However, Copperfield's team highlights the magician's request for the so-called 'evidence' behind these allegations, which they claim has not been provided.
"Everyone that knows David Copperfield will tell you that these recent allegations from one newspaper are the exact opposite of who David is," the representative tells 'People' magazine. "Most of these historic accusations have been made before, and all of them are as false now as they were then."
"David requested the ‘evidence’ upon which these false allegations claim to rely and this has not been provided," the rep's statement continues. "By contrast, whenever US law enforcement has looked into such matters, they have been investigated thoroughly and it has been found that there is simply no case to answer."
"Whenever US law enforcement looked into such matters, it was found there is simply no case to answer," Copperfield's representative emphasized.
This isn't Copperfield's first dance with controversy. The magician faced similar allegations in 2018 and 2007, but charges were never filed. Despite these challenges, Copperfield continues to support victims of abuse and discrimination, according to his statement.
