Surveillance footage shows Liam Gallagher grabbing girlfriend by the throat at London restaurant
Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher allegedly got into a fight with his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther at a London restaurant in August
London police are investigating Liam Gallagher in connection with "an incident consistent with assault" that took place in London over the summer, the BBC reports.
Allegations of the assault first surfaced in August when UK tabloid The Sun published a report claiming the former Oasis frontman grabbed his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther by the throat during an argument at Chiltern Firehouse in London. According to the report by The Sun, Gallagher was escorted out of the restaurant and proceeded to lash out by yelling, “She is a witch. It was her fault. She is a witch. She is a f**king witch.”
Both Gallagher and Gwyther have disputed The Sun’s report. “I have never put my hands on any woman in a vicious manner", Gallagher said in a tweet in August. In an Instagram post, Gwyther called the story a “pack of lies” and said she would be taking legal action against The Sun.
