The ex-boyfriend of Fiat scion Lapo Elkann claims he was sexually assaulted and left with “severe emotional distress” following a cocaine-fueled transgender orgy that spun out of control.
Travis London says former lover Elkann, an Italian wild child who once faked his own kidnapping to milk his wealthy family for cash, pressured him to participate in group sex with two trans prostitutes, one of whom “aggressively” attempted to bed London by pulling him down and accosting him.
Elkann, 41, then tried to silence him over the botched birthday gift in Milan in July 2018, according to London’s $10 million Brooklyn Federal Court lawsuit.
The former beau says he and Elkann had just had unprotected sex when his still-naked lover made a phone call in Portuguese, a language London doesn’t speak.
Suddenly, two “transsexual” prostitutes and their madame showed up, London charges in legal papers.
London refused the menage a trois but Elkann had sex with one of the prostitutes and gave them both cocaine as London, an interior designer, looked on in shock, he alleges.
That’s when the second prostitute apparently “aggressively endeavored” to force London to have sex, he charges.
London, 30, says he eventually fled Elkann’s home.
Elkann, whose grandfather Gianni Agnelli was once worth an estimated $3.1 billion, quickly began a high-pressure campaign to secure London’s silence, even paying the prostitutes to take down their social media profiles, London claims.
Elkann later apologized, begging London to keep quiet to avoid a scandal after the death of former Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne.
Elkann once denied his longtime relationship with London, belittling him as a stalker after London tweeted about their romance in 2014.
At the time, London was a chef. He claims Elkann’s denial of their affair created a backlash that cost him his culinary career.
The Milan assault was the “latest in a series of abusive, manipulative, demeaning, and harmful episodes initiated by [Elkann] during the course of an abusive multi-year courtship,” London alleges.
London has “ample evidence of abuse from pictures, texts, emails and other information,” his lawyer, Christopher Marston, told The Post.
A rep for Elkann slammed the “baseless” lawsuit, claiming London has “stalked” Elkann for years.
“London has filed this lawsuit in an effort to embarrass Lapo with salacious made-up details. He will defend against it strongly,” spokeswoman Marcia Horowitz said.
