Pop singer Samantha Fox, best known for her 1986 hit “Touch Me (I Want Your Body)” claims singer and TV star David Cassidy sexually assaulted her.
Cassidy died in November at 67.
According to the Daily Star, Fox, now 51, details her experience with the Partridge Family star in her upcoming memoir Forever.
She alleges Cassidy groped her in a London restaurant bathroom after a shoot for his single “Romance” in 1985.
Fox said he pushed her up against a wall.
“His hands were all over me. I shouted: ‘Get off me, David!’ in an attempt to stop him. But instead, he just stuck his tongue into my mouth and shoved a hand under my skirt, while the other kept a firm grip on one of my breasts,” she said.
“I reacted quickly and instinctively by bringing my knee upwards, striking him right in the balls… then I elbowed him in the face.”
Fox called the late singer a “first class creep” who was visibly aroused during the shoot, in which she was topless.
“David seemed to be deliberately drawing out the photoshoot, which took an eternity,” Fox wrote in her autobiography, “and he had an erection the entire time – something he did absolutely nothing to hide.”
Fox's longtime partner Myra Stratton died of cancer in 2015.
