Lyonne's Father Slams 'Homeless' Reports

LATEST: Troubled actress [Natasha Lyonne](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/natasha-lyonne)'s father has rubbished reports his daughter is "homeless" - insisting she is wealthy and living very comfortably.

[Aaron Braunstein](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/aaron-braunstein) has spoken out on behalf of the troubled AMERICAN PIE star, who is currently facing a string of police charges, including criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing.

He tells the New York Post, "Everyone keeps saying 'Poor Natasha, she's homeless,' but she's very wealthy. I live in a huge penthouse with nine bedrooms on the Upper West Side; her grandparents are very wealthy in Beverly Hills."

And he claims Lyonne refuses to be tried over her alleged threat to sexually molest a former neighbour's dog because "nothing happened".

He adds, "It's obvious the case is going to be dismissed. (Criminal lawyers) [Mel Sachs](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/mel-sachs), [Ben Brafman](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/ben-brafman) and BRUCE CUTLER say unless the dog testifies, there's no case."

Lyonne failed to appear in court last month (27JAN06). The absence marks the fourth time Lyonne has missed a court date and the third time a bench warrant has been issued for her arrest.
