Elfman, 70, and Abadi, 35, met in 2015, according to the lawsuit, and the pair became fast friends.
In November 2017, however, the former child prodigy who had performed with orchestras since the age of 5, filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department accusing Elfman of “indecent exposure,” the magazine reported.
“How do I respond to accusations so serious that being innocent is not a valid defense? It is excruciating to consider that a 50-year career may be destroyed in one news cycle as a result of vicious and wholly false allegations about sexual misconduct,” he said in a statement to the magazine. Abadi has performed with orchestras since the age of 5 and met Elfman in 2015, after which the pair quickly became friends.The initial settlement five years ago was in response to the #MeToo movement, the rep said.
