The actor who played Pinky in two of the “Friday” movies claims he’s been falsely accused of raping a woman in Louisiana last year, despite the allegations filed in a new lawsuit.
 
 
Clifton Powell, who might also remember as appearing in “Rush Hour,” “Ray” and “Menace II Society”, is being sued by a woman using the name Kiyante Myers, claims the actor raped her in a hotel room in August 2011.
 
 
According to the suit, Myers claims she consented to sex with Powell but when it turned rough, she asked him to stop and he refused. She then claims, Powell placed his hands over her face and raped her. 
 
 
 Myers went to cops about the incident last year and an investigation was conducted. But cops didn’t feel there was enough evidence to prove Powell committed a crime and they closed the case against the actor.
 
 
Myers has now taken her claims to federal court in Louisiana, where she’s seeking damages in excess of $75k.
A rep for Clifton tells TMZ,  “Mr. Powell absolutely denies these false accusations and plans on pursuing all legal remedies available to him against his accuser.”
