Ronnie Wood is in the news again, and the news isn’t good. A former aide of his has been awarded $1 million in damages after accusing him of sexual harassment. Hilary Olson, 30 - who was the band’s wardrobe assistant - filed a complaint against Wood in 2005, just before the band’s A Bigger Bang world tour. Wood, 61, was never charged with any offense nor proved guilty of any wrongdoing. Olsen is banned from discussing the case after signing a confidentiality agreement. Olsen’s mother says:

“It wasn’t just a falling-out. It was a significant incident. I have to be really careful when it comes to my daughter and the Rolling Stones. She goes into panic attacks when this is being talked about. She did costume design and stylist’s work (for the Stones) and that’s why it was a pinnacle, a great job for her.
“She’s only 30 and it (the alleged incident) devastated her for while.”

Ouch!!! The details of this will probably come out in time, one way or another, as they always do.
