Memphitz Loses Lawsuit Against K.Michelle, ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ & VH1
compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages.
In the depositions, he did acknowledge that in 2009, he got into a physical altercation with K Michelle in a Memphis hotel. He also said that he had spent money from Jive Record’s budget for jewelry, not to help her career, and had sent a text message threatening to kill K. Michelle’s son.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
The summary judgment goes into detail about the argument between K Michelle and Wright where Wright admits he put a pillow and/or his hands over her mouth to try to shut her up. She reasonably thought he was trying to kill her. He later tried to backtrack from his initial acknowledgments, according to a court filing by the defendants seeking summary judgment. Although K Michelle wasn’t a defendant in the original case, she was added later. The other defendants are Viacom, which owns VH1 and the production companies NFGTV and Monami Entertainment. The judge was also displeased that it took several months for Wright to specify what was defamatory, noting that the delays “consumed the resources of the Court and Defendants and ultimately required an order of the Court to fix.”
