K.J. Yossman Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black is set to face trial in the U.K. after allegedly assaulting a BBC host in a nightclub. Black appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court in London via videolink on Thursday morning local time where he pled not guilty to a charge of assault by beating. Black was released on unconditional bail. His trial is set to take place on August 8. The charge stems from an alleged altercation with an LGBTQ+ party planner and host of BBC3 show “The Big Proud Party Agency” Teddy Edwardes last summer. According to reports, Black allegedly threw a drink over Edwardes, who has also appeared as a contestant on BBC gameshow “Unbreakable,” at Freedom nightclub in Soho in August. He was reported to have been accompanied by his husband, British Olympic diver Tom Daley, at the time.
