David Caruso is used to catching criminals as Horatio Caine in CBS' CSI: Miami, but this time Caruso is the one under heat. Caruso's ex-girlfriend, Liza Marquez, has sued the actor on the grounds that he broke his promise to financially support her.
According to The Associated Press, Caruso is being sued for more than $1.2 million and a house that was promised to her by the star. Marquez's suit claims that Caruso asked her to quit her job and pass up other job opportunities because he would take care of her bills and needs, and was just a general all-around jerk.
The suit also says Caruso broke up with her after the birth of their second child in 2007, and the two agreed on a cash settlement and a house that was to be given to Marquez and the children.
But Caruso allegedly broke the agreement, says Access Hollywood, and over the course of their three year "marriage-like relationship," Caruso was emotionally abusive to her and accused her of having an affair. Marquez also claims that Caruso would retreat to a second house that held "significant amounts of pornographic materials," suggested she have sex with a male prostitute, and admitted to sleeping with another woman. Access Hollywood also says Marquez claims Caruso "asked [her] to exercise her option not to continue with the pregnancy" and when she refused, said "I guess for now you'll just be a birthing cow."
Caruso's rep told Access Hollywood: "Last month David became concerned about the welfare of his children and sought court assistance to redefine David's and Liza's custodial schedules. It now appears that Liza has decided to retaliate by raising false claims against David, which David finds unfortunate since these claims will divert the parties' and the court's attention away from the best interests of the children."
