Fashionable Fiat heir Lapo Elkann says he’s being “stalked” by celebrity chef Travis London, who recently tweeted — then deleted — posts claiming the two had an affair.
London, who’s reportedly dated Rihanna and cooked for Justin Timberlake and Mary-Kate Olsen, tweeted this month, “Lapo Elkann is a true creative and a great friend, a great man, and a GREAT lover” who will always be “one of my greatest loves.”
The tweets were removed, but not before being posted by website The Dirty.
Elkann — who’s been linked to female billionaire Goga Ashkenazi — exclusively tells Page Six of London and his claims: “The reality is he is a stalker, and he is someone who is obsessed with me . . . Whatever he is saying . . . is a nuisance and unreal. He has been stalking [me] for a year and a half.”
Elkann, who’s a member of Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed Hall of Fame, added, “If I need to do so, I will . . . take legal actions.”
London responded: “I am very saddened that Lapo would choose to say such slanderous lies about me. We clearly knew each other very intimately,” and “Lapo will always be someone who I love very dearly and who I miss every day.”
Elkann’s rep added: “We are denying whatever he is saying.”
