Earlier this year, those who have claimed to be victims of Harvey Weinstein celebrated a victory in court after the disgraced Hollywood executive was sentenced to 23 years in prison. The 68-year-old former film producer has rubbed elbows with Hollywood’s elite for decades, but in recent years, he found himself exposed by the #MeToo movement. His recent conviction isn’t the last that we’ve heard of Harvey Weinstein’s accusers as four more women have come forward with a sexual assault lawsuit.

According to Vulture, one of the women claims that she was “approximately seventeen years old” when she had her encounter with Weinstein. All of the women have chosen to remain anonymous and have been noted as “Jane Doe” one through four. “Jane Doe II, 43, has alleged that ‘in or about 1994 when Plaintiff was approximately seventeen years old, Harvey Weinstein falsely imprisoned, sexually assaulted, sexually battered and raped her.'”

One of the other accusers, Jane Doe II, shared that she was inquiring about getting involved in the entertainment business when a friend suggested that she meet Harvey Weinstein. Days later, she was picked up and taken to Weinstein’s hotel where she found the executive close to naked. “Because she was on her own in a hotel several miles from her home, with no way of getting home without Weinstein’s associate taking her there, she decided to keep her cool and try to get through the ‘meeting’ as quickly as possible,” the lawsuit says. “The two then had a brief conversation wherein Weinstein feigned interest in Plaintiff’s desire to work in the entertainment industry, and shortly thereafter, the much larger and stronger Weinstein insisted that in order for him to get Plaintiff a job, she had to sexually gratify him… [Weinstein] cornered Plaintiff and forced her to remove her clothes and he climbed on top of her and demanded she perform oral sex on him. Once stimulated, Weinstein proceeded to rape Plaintiff until he ejaculated.”

The lawsuit details all of the women’s encounters, and also states that Weinstein’s brother, Robert Weinstein, knew about the incidents but failed to “stop the alleged abuse.” Robert’s lawyer issued a statement saying that this is just another way for Robert Weinstein to be held accountable for his brother’s actions.

If you’re having legal troubles with the mother or father of your children, Adamma McKimmon is apparently the lawyer you should call. She has a long list of celebrity clients that include Stevie J (who has faced off with Joseline Hernandez in court), Kevin McCall (who wanted custody of his daughter he shares with Eva Marcille, but McKimmon later withdrew from the case), and London On Da Track who reportedly has cases against two of the mothers of his children.

According to a report made by Bossip, McKimmon is adding another high profile name to her list of clients by taking on Rick Ross‘s case. The outlet states that just last week, the attorney filed documents alerting the court and opposing counsel that she will be adding herself to the rapper’s legal counsel.

In case you missed it, Briana Camille, mother to two of Rick Ross’s young children, has filed a paternity suit against the rapper alleging that he hasn’t seen them in months. According to reports, Camille also says that Ross hasn’t been financially supporting their kids and has been actively avoiding them. She’s seeking child support. Ross has remained silent about the allegations against him.

When you’re a celebrity, you often find yourself regularly engaged in some sort of legal dispute. Rapper 2 Chainz knows just about that, considering that he’s been hit with a few lawsuits over the years. In 2019, he was sued over allegedly stealing a song sample, and in February of this year, he was accused of the same thing by another artist. A woman also sued him for $5 million for calling her a “thot,” but a judge recently threw out her case. Now, Bossip reports that a former employee is taking 2 Chainz and the rapper’s business partner Mychel “Snoop” Dillard to court.

According to the outlet, Leon Wiggins worked for the two business owners and struck a deal to help bring in more clientele to Escobar Restaurant and Tapas, as well as Hookah MRD Kings back in 2018. It was reportedly agreed that Wiggins would work as an assistant manager to both establishments, and if he made a certain amount of sales, he would also collect a commission. 

Leon Wiggins reportedly states in his lawsuit that after he sold a number of items at both restaurants, he was supposed to receive a commission of $24,713. In April 2019, Wiggin left his positions at both establishments, but he claims he was never paid what he says he’s due. Wiggins also states that 2 Chainz nor his business partner ever responded to the lawsuit, so he wants to move forward with receiving a default judgment. Yet, the rapper and Dillard aren’t giving up that easily, and they replied they never received the proper paperwork to give to their lawyers. As far as the commission deal is concerned, the business partners say they weren’t aware of any deal. The case is ongoing.

If an event is canceled due to, let’s say, a global pandemic, chances are people are going to want to get their money back. Even if that hasn’t been the policy for certain companies, because of the current state of world affairs, many are bending the rules. People are finding that their favorite festivals are on hiatus until governments open up outside once again, but not all concert producers are allowing the public to get a refund on their tickets—including SXSW.

In early March, SXSW shared that because of COVID-19, they were going to have to do the unthinkable and cancel the festival. The news caused thousands of ticketholders to contact the powers that be to get their money back, but according to reports, SXSW officials have refused to turn over the funds. Angry customers decided to band together and according to Billboard, the festival was hit with a class-action lawsuit.

“SXSW has, in effect, shifted the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic onto festivalgoers … individuals who in these desperate times may sorely need the money they paid to SXSW for a festival that never occurred,” the complaint states. A spokesperson for SXSW issued a statement to Billboard saying that these specific circumstances have made it impossible for them to issue refunds.

“We are still picking up the pieces after spending a year to program what would have been a remarkable event that required significant time, energy, and resources to produce,” the SXSW spokesperson said. “Due to the unique nature of SXSW’s business, where we are reliant on one annual event, we incurred extensive amounts of non-recoupable costs well in advance of March. These expenditures, and the loss of expected revenue, have resulted in a situation where we do not have the money to issue refunds.” Other festivals have reportedly been faced with similar lawsuits from customers.

Megan Thee Stallion continues to secure wins in her legal battle against her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment. This time, the Hot Girl’s case against the label for fraud has been ruled to head to trial, after the judge denied 1501 CEO Carl Crawford’s request to settle the lawsuit in private arbitration. Crawford initially filed the motion arguing that Megan had forfeited her right to settle any legal dispute that may arise between herself and the label when she signed her record contract. However, Megan is arguing for the “unconscionable” nature of the contract in the first place, claiming that the language in the document is too vague to be enforced in any manner. The judge agreed and denied Crawford’s motion, as well as his separate motion to stay the case. Their legal battle will now be heading to pubic trial.

Megan initially filed the lawsuit against 1501 for allegedly coercing her into signing the aforementioned contract, and subsequently threatening and harassing her after she signed a management deal with Roc Nation. She also accused them of intentionally preventing her from releasing new music and sabotaging her budding rap career. Megan was granted a temporary restraining order that was later extended, allowing her to release her most recent project, SUGA, in March. We’ll keep you posted on any new developments in this case.

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian might share a child together but their relationship has been quite messy in the public eye. The two have been in and out of course since Rob accused her of strangling him with an iPhone cord and attacking him. However, it appears that even though this has legal battle has been going on for the better part of the past three years, he's revealed new details in recently filed court documents.

According to The Blast, Rob Kardashian alleges Blac Chyna had been "snorting cocaine" prior to attacking him with a 6-ft metal pole. The excerpts obtained from court documents reveal that she had not been using drugs or drinking during her pregnancy with Dream nor when she was breastfeeding their child. 

"As soon as she stopped breastfeeding dream in the second week of December 2016, she started drinking to excess and using cocaine again," Rob alleged in court documents. He added that on the day of the altercation, "Chyna participated in a photoshoot at the Hidden Hills house, along with photographers, a makeup artist, a hairstylist, Chyna’s friends, members of her entourage and others" where she "consumed large amounts of Moet Rose champagne (her drink of choice) and snorted cocaine."

Kardashian continued to allege that Blac Chyna pointed a gun at him and threatened his life. He added that there were friends on FaceTime who could vouch that was "under the influence of drugs and alcohol, holding a bottle of champagne, brandishing a gun toward Rob and acting erratically."

Just when he thought the bulk of his legal woes were behind him, Fetty Wap has been hit with yet another lawsuit. Over the last two years, Fetty Wap’s attorneys have been putting in overtime. Last month, the rapper was reportedly ordered by a judge to pay over $1 million to a former employee. In January, Fetty promised fans that he would be returning with new music after clearing a “million dollars in legal trouble.” He was also hit with a battery charge following an incident with a Las Vegas hotel employee, and prior to that, he was accused of assaulting a woman at an afterparty.

The New Jersey artist has reportedly been smacked with a lawsuit from the woman who accused the rapper of attacking her. The afterparty reportedly took place in Los Angeles back in June 2019, and according to The Blast, the alleged victim states that Fetty Wap “not only strangled her but also punched her in the face.”

In court documents, the woman says that she attended the get-together with friends, and “during the course of the night, Fetty Wap consumed numerous alcoholic beverages culminating with (Fetty) drinking tequila directly from the bottle. Without any justification or provocation, (Fetty) began getting aggressive and physical toward numerous people, including the (her).”

She reportedly made an “off-the-cuff comment” to one of her friends about the party and when Fetty overheard her remarks, he became angry. The woman claims he walked up to her and “aggressively” came face-to-face with her while spewing threats. “He then pressed his finger on her forehead and forcefully pushed her head back,” The Blast reports.

Then, Fetty allegedly grabbed the woman by the throat, strangled her, and pushed her against a window while saying, “I’ll kill you.” The accuser goes on to say that someone at the party eventually separated them, but that didn’t stop the rapper from allegedly continuing to go after her. The argument reportedly culminated when he punched her in the face. She called the police, filed a report, and the case was handed over to the District Attorney. The lawsuit doesn’t state what damages the alleged victim is seeking, but she makes it clear that she’s suffering from extreme emotional distress and “humiliation.”

A snippet of this incident first circulated online last year. In the video, Fetty can be seen knocking a phone out of someone’s hand. It’s reported that the Los Angeles D.A.’s office did look into this incident but refused to press charges against the rapper because there wasn’t enough evidence to move forward.

In recently leaked court tapes, Amber Heard admitted to striking Johnny Depp in the head with a door, before punching him in the jaw. Althogh, Johhny Depp claims it was abuse, Heard claims that she was trying to protect herself. The two have made very strong assault claims against each other and are in the midst of a serious legal battle. Although we do not know exactly what happened, we do know that this legal battle has been dramatic.

In the leaked deposition tapes, Depp’s lawyers played a 2016 recording to Amber Heard. In the recording, Depp admits he’d “just been hit in the head with a fucking corner of the door” before he stood up and was “clocked” in the jaw. In that same tape, Heard responded, “I did not do this thing with the door … but I did mean to hit you.”

In the deposition, Heard again claims that she didn’t purposely slam the door into Depp’s face. “I was trying to escape from a room where Johnny was attacking me … I was trying to get onto the other side of the door, attempting to close the door, and he was attempting to get in,” she pleaded.

Heard has maintained that she has been trying to escape assault, not conduct it.

Alexis Skyy made her debut on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta this past week, crashing the anniversary party of Rasheeda and Kirk Frost. The drama in Atlanta, however, might have been an escape from the $20,000 in rent she owes in New York. Skyy was set to appear before a judge in New York July of last year but defaulted the case by not showing up.

In a civil suit filed by the landlord, Fort Lee Phase II Urban Renewal, Alexis Skyy was accused of not abiding by the terms of her lease and not paying several months of rent. Skyy did not respond to the case or appear in court in July 2019. A month later, the court found her guilt by default and ordered her to pay the landlord $19,670 back in full. As of her March 2020 debut in Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, it is unclear if she has settled her debt in New York.  

Alexis Skyy’s New York apartment complex is just outside of New York City. The luxurious complex is home to Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena, who are also stars of a separate Love & Hip Hop series. According to public records, the father of her daughter, Fetty Wap lives in the same complex, just a few buildings down.

Kevin Hart was set to be in court on March 2nd for a countersuit he filed against Stand Up Digital, a company that developed a video game that would feature Hart and his family as characters. The original suit was filed after the company claimed that Hart’s cheating scandal embarrassed the brand and affected the rollout of the game. The company sued him for $7.2 million in damages.  

Stand Up Digital allegedly spent $1.25 million to develop the game with Hart. However, a month before the game’s September 2017 release, Hart admitted to an extramarital affair. According to the lawsuit, Kevin Hart blindsided the company and refusing to communicate with them leading up to the game’s release.

Kevin Hart denied all wrong-doings, stating that he “suffered through an extremely difficult period in his life, where he was subjected to attempted blackmail to prevent disclosure of an extramarital affair”. In addition to this, Hart shared that he was unable to communicate freely with the company due to the fact that he had been working closely with the FBI for the blackmail case. 

Hart retaliated by countersuing the company, claiming that he did his part is posting and promoting the game when it was released and that he was still owed money from those sales.
