Liberty Tax CEO sued by ex-girlfriend claiming he shoved her down stairs
VIRGINIA BEACH -- A lawsuit filed against Liberty Tax CEO John Hewitt claims he shoved a woman down the stairs and threatened to throw her dog in the lake outside the Virginia Beach home they shared.
Tiffany K. Glenn filed the lawsuit in Virginia Beach Circuit Court, nearly two years after the night of May 26, 2015, when she claims Hewitt grabbed her by the face and neck and shouted: “This is my house. Get out!”
Glenn claims Hewitt shoved her down the stairs from behind, threatened her dog “Gucci” and threw her boots into a lake on the property, according to requests for admission filed by her attorney.
Calls and an email sent to Hewitt at his Liberty Tax address seeking comment were not returned. His attorney, Larry Woodward, declined to comment, but said he would be filing a response to the complaint in the next few days. Hewitt founded the Virginia Beach-based tax prep franchise company.
