Los Angeles- Has Martin Lawrence been a bad boy again?

The raunchy comedian found himself on the wrong end of a lawsuit this week as a woman claimed he whacked her on the jaw after she invited him to a get-together at the Playboy mansion.

Jennifer Palmer, who filed the suit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeks at least $25,000 in damages from Lawrence for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Lawrence has denied the allegations. His reps say the lawsuit is “financially motivated” and “completely false.”

According to the suit, Palmer, a model and businesswoman who owns her own lingerie company, walked up to Lawrence at a Jan. 18 party in the Hollywood Hills and asked him if he’d like to accompany her to another soiree at the Mansion, a favorite stop on the celeb party scene.

That’s when she says the Bad Boys star became belligerent, cursing at her.

“He was spitting on me as he was talking and yelling at me,” Palmer said in an interview with “Celebrity Justice,” which first reported the legal action Tuesday.

“I kept taking steps backwards to get away from him and finally pushed him off of me,” she says. “That’s when he just belted me in the side of the face.”

A status conference on the case is set for June 7. It won’t be Lawrence’s first trip to the courthouse.

In 1996, the comic actor was arrested twice – once for carrying a loaded firearm in his suitcase at Burbank Airport and the other when he was found dazed and wandering the middle of a street waving a gun. A year later, Lawrence allegedly belted a man who bumped into him while dancing at a Hollywood club. That same year, Lawrence was slapped with a restraining order by his estranged wife and was also sued by his TV wife on Fox’s now defunct “Martin” costar Tisha Campbell, who claimed she was the victim of sexual harassment and battery. The two eventually settled.
