The actor who played Pinky in two of the “Friday” movies claims he”s been falsely accused of raping a woman in Louisiana last year … despite allegations in a new lawsuit obtained by our sources.
Clifton Powell — who also appeared in “Rush Hour,” “Ray” and “Menace II Society” — has been sued by a woman using the pseudonym Kiyante Myers … who claims the actor raped her in a hotel room in August 2011.
According to the suit, Myers claims she initially consented to sex with Powell … but when it turned rough, she asked him to stop … and he refused.
Instead, she claims, Powell placed his hands over her face and raped her.
our sources has learned … Myers went to cops about the incident last year … and an investigation was conducted. But cops didn”t feel there was enough evidence to prove Powell committed a crime and they closed the case against the actor.
Myers has now taken her claims to federal court in Louisiana, where she”s seeking damages in excess of $75k.
A rep for Clifton tells our sources … “Mr. Powell absolutely denies these false accusations and plans on pursuing all legal remedies available to him against his accuser.”
