 COURTTV.COM - PEOPLE - Did Leo lead his posse to war?
Oscar-caliber material?  Not to the cuckolded protagonist, actor Roger Wilson—who claims in a $45 million suit that Leonardo DiCaprio ordered his posse to beat him outside a Manhattan nightspot for telling them to stop hounding his then-girlfriend, Elizabeth Berkley.
Wilson doubled over in pain, and was surprised when the security guards ordered him to leave the area in front of the hotel.  "Unable to swallow, breathe, or speak freely," Wilson hopped in a cab and made his way to the doctor, the suit claims.
In naming DiCaprio as a defendant while admitting he was not part of the brawl, Wilson sets up an interesting, and perhaps difficult, legal hurdle: He has to prove the group acted on the actor's behalf.
