Jennifer Connelly is being sued for allowing her roof to "fall into disrepair".
The 43 year old actress' New York loft apartment suffered extensive damage costing $262,000 following a big rainstorm in October 2010 and her insurance company have filed a claim against the construction company who worked on the roof in the 1860s former warehouse building.
However, according to TMZ, the roofers have filed a counter-claim in which they insist the problems were the actress' fault as she had allowed it to fall into disrepair and if a jury orders them to pay the insurance company, they want a judge to make Jennifer, who raises sons Kai, 17, and Stellan, 13, and daughter Agnes, 3, with husband Paul Bettany, pay them back.
Despite the legal dispute, the 'Noah' actress insists it is nothing to do with her.
She told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "It's not correct. There's no story, there's no lawsuit. It's misinformation."
Her spokesperson added: "[The actress] put a claim on [her] insurance, and the roof was fixed, and that was that. She had nothing to do with the lawsuit."
