She then claimed that Gharachedaghi began recording her on her phone, hurling “derogatory and offensive remarks,” including, “How does it feel to be a w—?, I’m going to f— you up, you will pay for this.”

As she reached the exit, she alleged that the duo came across a security guard who “saw the way she was threatening me.” Ben-Cohen asked the security guard to escort her to her vehicle, but he “gave me a blank stare and said something on his walkie talkie.”

Per the documents, Gharachedaghi claimed that the guard was a “toy cop” and couldn’t protect her. At this point, Ben-Cohen recalled feeling “scared for my life” and called her fiancé, who heard her screaming over the phone.

“I told her just please walk away. Please leave me alone. She said, ‘No, I have been waiting for this day,'” Ben-Cohen claimed in the filing. “She purposely kept the phone right in my face as she is screaming, “I’m a w—, you f—ing bitch, I’m going to destroy you.'”

After she reportedly asked her to stop “nicely,” she alleged in the filing that Gharachedaghi continued to shove her phone in her face until the security guard finally intervened. Ben-Cohen alleged that Gharachedaghi then “hit me in the face” before she grabbed her phone and threw it.

She alleged that Gharachedaghi’s device wasn’t damaged and continued to beat her after she picked it up off the floor. She also claimed that her former costar “grabbed a chunk of my hair and yanked it, as she grabbed my arm with her other hand.”

“Then [she] tried slapping my face but I moved and it hit my arm,” Ben-Cohen alleged. “The security guard told her she needed to stop before the cops come and she claimed she did nothing wrong.”
