David “Jackson” Mueller said he never touched the pop star, but maintains she ruined his career.
A former Denver radio DJ is suing Taylor Swift because he says he was fired from his job after a staff member for the pop star unjustly accused him of grabbing her butt.

Mueller was a co-host on a show called "Ryno and Jackson." He went by "Jackson" on the air, according to the lawsuit.
Mueller's co-host at the time, Ryan "Ryno" Kliesch, still works at the station on the show "Ryno & Tracy."
The lawsuit, which was obtained by BuzzFeed News, was filed Thursday at the U.S. Circuit Court in Denver.
Mueller names Swift, her parents, a member of her staff, and Scott Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine Records, as defendants.

Mueller brought along his girlfriend Shannon Melcher, who also worked with him. Mueller claims he and his girlfriend showed up to the event, and were eventually invited backstage by a member of Swift's staff.
After some small talk, he said Swift pulled in Melcher for a picture. He said he "jumped into the photograph at the last second."
Mueller claims that the interaction was pleasant, and Swift hugged Melcher before she left.
"Ms. Swift remained pleasant as she bid them goodbye," the lawsuit said.
