by

Emilio Garcia, the cameraman who is suing Megan Thee Stallion, previously liked Nicki Minaj’s posts on Twitter about Desiree Perez and the firings at Roc Nation, fans uncovered online, Tuesday. One viral post features a screenshot of Garcia’s Twitter account and under the “Likes” section is Minaj’s rant about the incident. It comes as Garcia has accused Megan of harassment regarding an alleged incident that occurred while he was traveling abroad with her.

In response to the viral post, many fans came to Garcia’s defense. “Nicki is one of the biggest artists in the world and they surprised someone would like her tweets,” one fan argued. “Be so serious.” Another wrote: “Why they always tryna blame Nicki Minaj?? It’s so weird & disgusting.”

Garcia filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, claiming that, following the aforementioned alleged incident, Megan began treating him differently. He claims that the “harassment was so severe or pervasive” that it created a “hostile, abusive work environment” and made “working conditions intolerable.” In turn, he wants compensation. His attorney, Ron Zambrano, further told NBC News in a statement: “Megan just needs to pay our client what he’s due, own up to her behavior and quit this sort of sexual harassment and fat shaming conduct. Emilio should never have been put in a position of having to be in the vehicle with her while she had sex with another woman. ‘Inappropriate’ is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal.”

50 Cent Says Megan Thee Stallion’s Alleged Harassment Accuser “Should Be Punched In The Head”

by

50 Cent shared a hot take about the lawsuit Megan Thee Stallion is facing on Instagram, Tuesday. After reading up on the details of the case in an article from NBC News, the New York rapper remarked that the man who made the harassment allegation against Megan should be “punched in the head.” The case revolves around a former cameraman for the artist who claims he was stuck inside a moving vehicle with Megan when she began having sex with another woman.

“This Camera man and the lawyer who made this claim should be punched in the head,” 50 wrote on Instagram, before adding, “I’m sorry 2 women start making out, I’m not offended. THIS CASE IS THROWN OUT OF MY COURT.” Many of his fans joined in on jokes about the case in the comments section. One wrote: “I woulda filed a lawsuit too if she didn’t let me join.”

Jimmy Iovine’s Accuser Drops Sexual Assault Case To Settle Out Of Court

by

Jimmy Iovine’s accuser is dropping their sexual assault case against the former record executive after coming to an out-of-court resolution. The plaintiff’s attorney, Doug Wigdor, filed a discontinuance with prejudice to close the case back on February 15th, according to Rolling Stone. He explained during a statement: “The matter was resolved to the satisfaction of the parties.”

Details of the agreement were not made public; however, Jane Doe had been seeking an amount of relief “for, but not limited to, physical injury, economic and compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees and costs.” She filed the lawsuit back in November under the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) in New York. The bill, as explained by New York State Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal, “provides victims of sexual assault who were 18 years or older at the time of their abuse a one-year look-back period to file a lawsuit against their abuser and, if applicable, the institution that harbored them, no matter how long ago the crime occurred.”

Iovine’s spokesperson responded to the lawsuit at the time, telling Variety: “We are quite shocked and baffled by this alleged claim. This inquiry is the first we’ve heard of this matter. No one has ever made a claim like this against Jimmy Iovine, nor have we been contacted or made aware of any complaint by anyone, including this unknown plaintiff prior to now.”

Iovine is just one of several high-profile figures in the music industry to face sexual misconduct lawsuits recently. Diddy has been infamously involved in several scandals of his own in recent months. Just earlier this week, a former male employee came forward to accuse him of sexual assault. He’s also roped up in a gang rape case with Harve Pierre. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jimmy Iovine on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s Gang Assault Accuser Has “Public-Facing Identity,” His Legal Team Warns

by

According to reporter Meghann Cuniff, Diddy’s legal team just warned the court in a new legal filing in his gang assault case that his accuser has a “public-facing identity” that could be identified if named. Moreover, the Jane Doe claims that he and former Bad BoyEntertainment president Harve Pierre were among those who assaulted her as a group, along with accusations of trafficking. Sean Combs’ team wants to seal documents that could provide this information, which apparently came from his accuser’s latest filing. However, it’s important to note that the defense believes Jane Doe’s identity should come to light, but it looks like they don’t want to do so in this way.

Furthermore, it’s unclear what the alternative is, but when this case began in December, the accuser’s lawyers argued that she should remain anonymous throughout the whole process. This is because they believe the revelation of her identity “poses a risk of mental harm.” Diddy’s legal team argued that this shouldn’t be the case, but still requested the judge to conceal new documents “out of an abundance of caution,” as their filing could identify her. In addition, litigator Jonathan D. Davis alleged that Jane Doe’s team agrees with this sentiment.

Reportedly, Harve Pierre also echoed this sentiment via his attorneys. On the other hand, Jane Doe maintained while requesting to keep her identity concealed that her accusations “concern brutal sexual assault… when she was a teenager and, accordingly, are highly sensitive and of a personal nature.” Diddy, Pierre, and a third male whose identity is unknown face accusations of trafficking and assaulting her in 2003 at Combs’ New York City studio. This added to a slew of other sexual assault lawsuits against the entertainment and business mogul.

Meanwhile, this also follows reports that Puff Daddy will not attend the Grammys this year. Many folks wondered if the Recording Academy took any measure to address this issue, but it seems like his team made that decision for them. We’ll see how these active cases further develop in 2024. On that note, check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Diddy.

The Game’s Sexual Assault Accuser Wins Second Lawsuit Against Him

by

The Game just lost a second lawsuit against him from Priscilla Rainey, a former contestant on his 2015 She’s Got Game reality TV show. Moreover, she sued him for sexual assault in 2016 after he allegedly touched her without consent on a date. The rapper lost this case due to his failure to attend court for scheduled hearings, resulting in a default judgement of $7.1 million owed to Rainey. But in 2021, she opened another lawsuit and claimed he opened various shell companies to avoid complying with this ruling and hide assets. Now, the court reportedly sided with her, and the 44-year-old must fully account for this missing payment.

Furthermore, Rainey alleged that he gave up his role as manager at the company JTT Holdings and instead passed the torch to his manager, Wack 100. Another way in which The Game allegedly gamed the system to not look like he had that many assets was, according to the former reality TV contestant, giving up ownership of his Los Angeles property. Her victorious second lawsuit claimed that she only received $500K of the amount established by the default judgement. As such, Rainey seeks to seize this eventually and asked the court to delegitimize these shell companies so she could access her owed funds.

The Game Loses Second Lawsuit Concerning Sexual Assault Case

According to reports, the court held a hearing on December 13 to discuss this, and both the plaintiff and The Game’s manager Wack testified. The music executive and provocateur told authorities that his client gave him his Los Angeles house due to a personal debt between them, and nothing more. According to Radar Online the court ended up siding with Rainey and established the California MC’s inability to avoid payments, unless he wants more consequences down the line. For example, Rainey would now be able to file a lien against his L.A. home or sell it, now that it’s reportedly back under his legal ownership and part of his seizable assets.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this whole debacle? Is Evelyn Lozada’s daughter’s possible flame going to get out of this or is this the final straw in Rainey’s journey? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below. For more news and the latest updates on The Game, stay up to date on HNHH.

The Game’s Sexual Assault Accuser Claims He’s Only Paid $500K Of $7M Judgement

by

The Game’s 44th birthday recently came and went, an occasion that actually had him feeling quite emotional over his love for his daughter, Cali. However, that celebration quickly became a point that shielded him from other issues in his legal life. Moreover, Priscilla Rainey- who accused the rapper of sexual assault back in 2015- claims that he’s only paid $500K of the $7 million judgement that the court entitled her to. This is according to court documents reportedly obtained by Radar Online, and the incident itself dates back to his VH1 dating show She’s Got Game. At that point, the California MC allegedly sexually abused her, claims which he has denied for almost a decade at this point.

Furthermore, this claim of innocence fueled The Game and his manager Wack 100 to eschew payments to Rainey. For those unaware, this case led to a failure to get her lump sum in the lawsuit, but still won the $7 million judgement. After this failure for Rainey to reimburse and a dismissed motion for a new trial, she reportedly gained access to royalties from his album Born 2 Rap and ownership of his independent label, Prolific Records. Wack stood by the claim that he still owns those royalties, whereas his client’s often said in interviews that he doesn’t plan on coughing this dough up.

The Game’s Sexual Assault Case Isn’t Finished Yet, His Accuser Claims

Not only that, but back in 2021, Priscilla Rainey motioned to access his revenue from The Game and Wack 100’s alleged “shell companies,” and accused her alleged abuser of committing fraud by flip-flopping money, finances, and asset rights between these businesses and his management. ““To date, after years of multi-state litigation to discover and executive on [his] assets, Rainey has collected approximately $500,000.00 on the $7,130,100.00 Judgment, which is exclusive of interest and costs,” her attorney expressed via written statement in her latest motion’s filing.

“[Wack 100] and [The Game] conspired together to transfer and conceal [The Game’s] assets by transferring them among themselves and shell companies under their control,” the motion continued. “No one need guess about [their] intent to not pay the Judgment owed by [him] to Rainey, as they have made it abundantly clear in various social media posts that they never intend to pay a dime to Rainer on her judgment.” Earlier this year, she seemed to also try to use Universal Music Group to seize these assets and finances. A trial to settle this debt will commence later in December, if the schedule remains. For more news and the latest updates on The Game, come back to HNHH.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Gets New Evidence In Sexual Assault Case

by

Kenneth Petty is dealing with a sexual assault case stemming from an alleged 1994 incident, and it isn’t getting any prettier. Moreover, his accuser Jennifer Hough wants to amend her complaint against him, and to introduce new evidence to strengthen her case. According to an AllHipHop report, it seems like this consists of old photographs provided by the Queens District Attorney’s Office from the alleged altercation. In addition, Hough claimed that Nicki Minaj’s husband violated his plea deal for allegedly harassing and intimidating her throughout this process. Furthermore, she maintained that this is because she rejected an offer from him and his team to scrap prosecution for cash so authorities could remove him from the National Sex Offender Registry.

After looking over previously unreleased records, Hough wants to add a cause of action for attempted r*pe to the accusations. This means that the case would have another crime to evaluate, stack up against Kenneth Petty’s liability, and determine her right to remedy for. These could include monetary damages, although the serious nature of this case could take things further. Still, considering how long this legal process has been, it’s too soon to know whether that will change based on this evidence.

On that note, the new evidence itself is quite harrowing, as its photographic depictions of the crime are unfiltered. For example, it depicts the knife used in the altercation, pictures of the room in which it allegedly occurred, and Hough herself. Specifically, you can see bruises on her side and marks on her neck, which she accused Petty of leaving by choking her. If the court finds her new cause of action significant, they will continue to deliberate on this case.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj has already been severed from Petty’s case, as she was once involved thanks to the intimidation and harassment claims. It’s all a legal whirlwind for the two at the moment, as one’s actions affect another’s. With this newly presented evidence in mind, they could still have this haunt over them for longer than they might’ve thought. Keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on the Kenneth Petty case.

Nicki Minaj Fails To Sanction Husband Kenneth Petty’s Assault Accuser

by

Nicki Minaj recently failed to sanction her husband Kenneth Petty’s assault accuser and her legal team, according to court documents obtained by AllHipHop. Moreover, her issue stems from allegedly “wild” statements that Jennifer Hough’s lawyer made to the judge in this case. Although authorities dropped Minaj from the case due to a lack of court jurisdiction, she still wants retribution for the time and money she wasted in defending herself. Furthermore, Hough sued the rap star and Petty for harassment, claiming that they pressured her retracting her assault allegations against Nicki’s husband, which she made in 1994.

However, the court denied the “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” MC’s motion to sanction Hough and her attorney Tyrone Blackburn for defamatory statements and false accusations. “The court does not find [Hough’s] decision to pursue a motion for default judgment against [Nicki] sanctionable, notwithstanding [Nicki’s] claim that the motion lacked merit,” ruled Judge James R. Cho. “Here, [Hough] did not have an obligation to withdraw her motion for default judgment against Nicki simply because counsel for [Nicki] considered the motion ‘frivolous.’”

Still, these accusations and claims of falsely damaging actions and statements seem to go both ways. For example, Hough alleged that Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty offered her $500,000 to drop the case, and sent private detectives to stalk her and her daughter, in addition to provoking her to move between states. After Hough and her team dropped Minaj from the case after pursuing default judgement, she tried to seek accountability for their allegedly unfair and unfounded actions. These mostly relate to defamatory statements made by Hough’s attorney Blackburn regarding her involvement in a New York gang, her legal team cyberstalking the accuser’s former lawyers, and offensive comments.

Despite the judge siding with Blackburn, he made it clear that the lack of ability to sanction does not mean his inflammatory actions are endorsed by the court. “Blackburn should not take the denial of the motion for sanctions as in any way endorsing his behavior,” the judge stated. As this is a highly complicated, long-running, and multi-faceted case, only time will tell how this affects Nicki’s career and peace of mind. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for more updates on this story and the latest from Nicki Minaj.

Marilyn Manson Ex-Accuser Recants Allegations, Claims Rachel Evan Woods “Manipulated” Her

by

CW: This article contains details of sexual assault that some may find disturbing or triggering.

Several women emerged with horrendous allegations against Marilyn Manson over the years, accusing him of sexual abuse. 38-year-old Ashley Morgan Smithline claimed that she endured years of abuse during her relationship with Marilyn Manson. Her allegations emerged at a time when a number of women, including Manson’s ex Evan Rachel Woods, shared similar stories. Smithline filed a lawsuit, which was later dismissed, where she detailed her relationship with the singer.

Smithline, who is Jewish, alleged Manson raped her and cut her with a knife that had a Swastika symbol. Along with the numerous other allegations against Manson, he ultimately became a pariah in the music industry. However, it appears that Smithline’s claims weren’t true, to begin with. She recently retracted her comments, accusing Wood and her associates of manipulating her into suing the rockstar.

Smithline Retracts Statements Against Marilyn Manson

In a recent declaration obtained by PageSix, Smithline said that the allegations she made against Manson were “not true.” She said that other alleged victims of Manson invited her to group meetings where they asked if she had been “whipped, chained, tied up, branded, cut, assaulted while sleeping, beaten, or raped” by the singer. “No, this did not happen to me, and this was not my experience,” she reportedly responded.

However, the other women in these meetings, including Wood, suggested that she may have been suppressing the trauma. “While at first I knew Mr. Warner did not do these things to me, I eventually I began to question whether he actually did,” Smithline said. “I was asked whether [I] was repressing memories to just get through day-to-day life, and whether it was easier just to not think about what actually happened than accept reality. They also said it was important for people to come forward so that no one else gets hurt.”

She said Wood’s girlfriend, Illma Gore, drafted the statement she shared on Instagram where she named Manson as her abuser. In her declaration, she said that her statement “contained untrue statements about Mr. Warner” including violence and sexual assault claims. Though many were weary of the retraction, she said, “I never received any money from Mr. Warner and am not seeking any money from him.” She added that she won’t refile her lawsuit, either.

George Foreman Hits Sexual Assault Accuser With Countersuit: Report

by

George Foreman is one of the most famous boxers of all time. He is beloved by many, however, that has somewhat changed over the past year or so. This is because Foreman has been accused of sexually assaulting a minor over 40 years ago.

Last summer, a woman going by the name of Gwen H. accused Foreman of coercing her into sexual acts. Another woman accused Foreman of the exact same thing. Gwen H. is currently in the midst of suing Foreman for $12 million, although the boxer is adamant that this is just some sort of extortion attempt.

George Foreman Responds

Prior to Gwen H. coming out with her story, Foreman tried to get ahead of things. In fact, he claimed he was being extorted way before the lawsuit was even filed. That being said, it was only a matter of time before he and his legal team came through with a strategy of their own.

According to TMZ, Foreman has officially launched a countersuit against his accuser. The lawsuit claims there is “zero corroborating evidence in the form of documents, photographs, letters, or witnesses to support Gwen’s false claims against Foreman.”

Moreover, the legendary boxer claims he has undergone severe emotional distress throughout all of this. “Anxiety, sleeplessness, worry, shock, and humiliation” are reportedly all things that Foreman has gone through over these past few months. At this time, the damages being sought are unknown. Additionally, his accuser has yet to give her reaction to the countersuit.

This is currently a developing story, so be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news regarding this lawsuit.
