Cuba Gooding Jr goes on loud 'bizarre' rant while drinking in New York hotel ...

Cuba Gooding Jr has been overheard talking about allegations he groped a woman's breast at a New York nightclub earlier this month, allegations he has denied.

According to a witness the actor is certain the misdemeanor count of forcible touching, that he pleaded not guilty to last Thursday in court, will be ironed out.

The 51-year-old is accused of groping the woman at Magic Hour Rooftop Lounge in midtown Manhattan on Sunday June 9, and despite being in hot water legally, he reportedly wasn't careful talking about his case around strangers. 

'He said the woman fabricated the whole thing and that the truth would come out,' a source told Page Six about Gooding's appearance at New York's Bowery Hotel. 'It was bizarre that he was in the main lounge of the hotel and he was talking about it.'

The insider suggested that Gooding may have been hyper aware of onlookers and eavesdroppers, or was so reassured that he was in a private space that he felt comfortable blurting out his feelings.

Gooding's lawyer recently claimed the star is adamant that he never groped the woman and says he remembers the encounter because his accuser approached him and fawned over his flop film Snow Dogs. 

However it hasn't stopped him from mingling in public places of a few beverages.

'He was making jokes and asking his friend if there were security cameras,' the source continued to the Page Six. 'After several drinks and an order of fries, he and his friend were trying to find a place to go out after.

'He kept checking his phone because they were waiting for a friend, but he really wanted to go out.'

Page Six also reported, the Jerry Maguire star was seen socializing at a fashion show in Bellport, Long Island, this past weekend.

Then on Saturday night in the Hamptons he was hugged and kissed by an unidentified woman at Le Bilboquet in Sag Harbor. 

Gooding says he remembers the encounter at the Moxy Hotel's Magic Hour Rooftop Lounge because his accuser approached him to gush about his flop 2002 film Snow Dogs

Gooding's lawyer confirmed that his client was indeed feeling good about clearing his name.

Mark Heller explained on Wednesday why the famous face has been spotted out looking for a good time.

'His confidence in the legal system and his legal representation has freed him from the anxiety that usually causes defendants in his situation to recoil from society,' Heller told the Page Six.

'As you have noted, Mr. Gooding continues to appropriately interact and socialize as he normally does.'

The actor denies the allegations and pleaded not guilty in court last Thursday.
