According to a filing obtained by Deadline on Tuesday, a woman who is suing former Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member Horatio Sanz for sexual assault has added Jimmy Fallon, along with Tracy Morgan, to her suit. NBC was also implicated in the complaint as the official party host. The original filing claimed Sanz assaulted a woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe to protect her anonymity when she was 17 at an SNL party in 2002 where several witnesses were present.

Tuesday’s updated filing named Fallon and Morgan as willing participants in the “after-parties” and “after-after-parties” where underage teenage girls were allegedly given alcohol and named Michaels as having fostered this predatory environment. Regarding her client’s alleged assault, attorney Susan Crumiller said:

An NBC spokesperson issued the following statement:

“Sanz and his enablers lured Jane into their celebrity world and made her feel like a cool kid for drinking and partying with a bunch of famous grown-ups. Instead, they destroyed her life. Jane has spent the past two decades struggling with the repercussions of what they did to her; now it’s their turn. We look forward to holding NBC, Sanz, and everyone else who enabled this disgusting behavior accountable when the GMVA lookback window opens in March.”

“Regardless of Jane Doe’s changing narratives, NBC intends to renew its motion to dismiss.”

The suit alleges that Morgan rented out a space for an after-after-party in May 2002, where Sanz allegedly groped her against her will. According to the complaint, the accuser and her teenage friends regularly attended SNL after-parties from 2000 to 2002; Fallon and Sanz would drink with her at these parties, and that Fallon once questioned her about her age. She told him that she was a junior in high school. According to the complaint, the plaintiff also met Michaels at one of the parties, who gave her advice on pursuing a writing career.

In 2020, Sanz’s attorney called the allegations “categorically false” in a statement to TMZ:

The legal move was made possible by a recent amendment to NYC’s Gender Motivated Violence Act, which allows victims of gender-based violence to file civil lawsuits against abusers and enablers. The amended GMVA creates a two-year “lookback window” for expired civil claims of gender violence, similar to New York’s Child Victims Act. The plaintiff’s lawyers said her new claims will be revived when the lookback window opens on March 1, 2023.

“Before filing this lawsuit anonymously, she demanded $7.5 million in exchange for her silence. We, of course, refused and will vigorously contest these totally meritless claims.”
