Here is what We learned about Rapper French Montana’s Lawsuit!
The Blast reports:
It’s unclear if any money changed hands in the process. Normally, a case like this is settled with the filing party receiving something for agreeing to dismiss the case. The rapper was previously due in court on March 14 for a trial in this case.
As we reported, the woman accused the rapper and his business partner of “assault and battery, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and negligence.”
In the original lawsuit, she claimed French “had a longstanding practice of inviting women to their recording sessions, or choosing women at bars, and inviting them back to the Hidden Hills house.” The woman alleged the group would supply women with drinks and drugs, “with the purpose of engaging in sexual acts with them, without any regard to whether or not they consented, or were able to consent.”
“Defendants would be in control of how much alcohol was provided, always making sure there were excessive amounts, given and encouraging the women to drink,” the suit read. Adding, “Defendants would sometimes without the women’s knowledge or consent provide drugs to interfere with the women’s ability to knowingly consent to sexual activity.”
In some cases, she claims the rapper would take drugs and encourage party-goers to do the same.
In this specific case, the alleged victim says on March 28, 2018, she was invited to a recording studio off La Brea Ave. in Los Angeles and during the session, Montana showed interest in her and invited her back to his home in Hidden Hills. She claims the group arrived at his home around 6 am, and says thirty minutes later she made a call outside to her friend and was “lucid.” At this point, she claims she returned to the kitchen of the home and was told to take a shot of alcohol by the crew.
