NFL wide receiver Dennis Northcutt is being accused of planning a brutal attack on his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Sharri Henry has filed a lawsuit, claiming Northcutt conspired to brutally beat her up.

Henry, who claims she is pregnant with the NFL player, alleges that Northcutt got his cousin to “maliciously assault, beat, strike and batter Plaintiff, her face and head with great force and violence ... causing severe and permanent disfigurement to her face.” The attack took place last May, when Henry was four months pregnant, outside Falcon Club in Hollywood. Henry’s lawyer says that the reason behind Northcutt’s behavior was Henry’s refusal to abort the pregnancy.

In the lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Henry alleges battery and conspiracy to commit assault and is seeking unspecified damages.

However, Northcutt denies the claims.

His agent, Jerome Stanley, claims that “this was nothing but a desperate shakedown by a jilted ex-girlfriend who is claiming to be pregnant with his child.” He suggested that Henry is probably upset because Northcutt broke up with her and found someone else. Stanley also said that his client had no idea about the attack until after it happened and added that Henry “verbally antagonized the guy who hit her.”

Henry’s attorney, whose client is currently seven months pregnant, said that Northcutt and his entourage were angry that Henry refused to abort a child that she believed was Northcutt's. After words were exchanged, Northcutt’s cousin “viciously attacked Miss Henry.”
