Well, I’m surprised to see this happen. If anything, I thought he would’ve sued K.Michelle.
But Memphitz has now filed a lawsuit against VH1 and Mona Scott Young for what he sees as giving K.Michelle the platform to discuss her abuse at the hands of Memphitz, which he is still adamantly denying. Memphitz maintains that he has not filed this lawsuit to be vengeful, but to defend his character and protect his family from all the hurt they have received since Love and Hip Hop Atlanta has aired. These are the statements he made:
“My family and I have suffered tremendously while VH-1, Monami Ent., and the other companies provided a worldwide platform for K. Michelle to repeatedly assassinate my character. The filing of this suit is to compensate for the irreparable damage that has been done to my reputation and to deter these companies from doing such future harm to others.” – Mickey “Memphitz” Wright
Wright is suing the named Defendants for approximately one dollar per viewer per show for damages that stem from the defamatory statements and denigrating actions of cast member Kimberly Michelle Pate p/k/a “K. Michelle”.
“Domestic violence is an issue of serious nature, often having grave consequences for true victims with whom we all sympathize. However, it is unconscionable for one to play on the sympathies of the masses by levying false accusations of such heinous acts against an innocent party, simply for the sake of entertainment or for purported career advancement. After reviewing the evidence in this matter, we are prepared to litigate this case to the fullest extent of the law to seek justice for our client and to restore his name and professional reputation.” Moore & Honore
I have always believed K.Michelle’s story, but again, I wasn’t there. What are your thoughts?
