Matt LeBlanc faces a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman who claims he made sexually charged comments about her that were published in the National Enquirer. The woman, Stephanie Stephens, claims the former `Friends’ star told an unspecified person last August that she was sexually aggressive, gave him a lap dance in a private room and engaged him in a “night of sexual debauchery…at her place of employment.” Stephanie denies being sexually aggressive or giving a lap dance, adding that “all sexual contact between the defendant and the plaintiff took place in the privacy of Stephanie Stephen’s residence”. The lawsuit does not provide details on Stephanie’s relationship to Matt. [28 August 2006]
