Ex-CSI Star Gary Dourdan Wants $110K Beat Down Payout Tossed

Troubled Star In Bankruptcy Court

Ex-CSI star Gary Dourdan is demanding the $110,000 debt he agreed to pay his ex-girlfriend – after accusing him of brutally beating her – be tossed now that he’s bankrupt.

Dourdan filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2014, stating he had $988,000 in assets and $1.46 million owed to creditors. His assets included $20 cash on hand $1,000 in his savings, one grand in household items, another grand in clothing and a $1,000 watch.

His debts include $949,000 on his L.A. home mortgage, more than $200,000 in back taxes, $1,400 to American Express, $626 to Time Warner, $4,368 in fees due to his criminal probation, $2,000 to a Marina Del Rey hospital, more than $2,000 for a storage unit and $130 for a traffic ticket.

He lists himself as an actor/musician and makes $11,500 a month but his expenses total $11,302 leaving him only with $198 in leftover cash.

Then shortly after he filed the petition, Dourdan’s ex-girlfriend Nicole Cannizzaro headed to court in the bankruptcy and sued the the actor.

Back in 2012, Cannizarro sued Dourdan for assault and battery, accusing him of attacking her at his apartment. She said during the attack he punched her in the face and dragged her across the apartment. The ex-girlfriend said the actor beat her so badly that her nose was broken.
