Both sides are denying the accusations. As RadarOnline.com previously reported Hailey's attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, claims Jon's story about the apartment being trashed is merely a "publicity stunt" and now in an exclusive interview Jon's attorney, Mark Heller, tells RadarOnline.com that Hailey is making up her claims of abuse simply as retaliation against Jon's claims.

"Her legal people obviously advised her to put this out there," Heller tells RadarOnline.com.

"When the evidence comes out – the only suckers will be the individual who made a false complaint against Jon.
"He clearly denies this. The motivation that he saw Hailey kissing another individual linked to Michael Lohan would not inspire him to do this because his relationship had been over for sometime and he was not jealous so that story has no credibility."
