Elton John is being sued by a former security guard for alleged sexual harassment, according to reports.

Jeffrey Wenninger worked as a security guard for the musician until 2014. According to TMZ, he has filed a lawsuit against John claiming 3 separate incidents of sexual harassment.

In one incident, John allegedly put his hands in Wenninger's trousers, "attempted to grab his genitals and put his fingers between Wenninger's butt cheeks." In another, he told him to "get your todger out" and "say hello to Uncle Elton."

Wenninger also claims John "twists his nipples" and said, "You gorgeous thing, you," and that there were several other incidents during his employment - which ended in September 2014.

According to the lawsuit, he attempted to verbally and physically resist, but "it never deterred" the singer.

TMZ says it has reached out to Elton John's reps, but that it has yet to receive a response.
