Woman Accusing Derrick Rose of Rape Cries During Testimony

Derrick Rose

On Thursday, the woman who accused Derrick Rose and two friends of gang raping her in multi-million dollar lawsuit became emotional after the NBA baller walked into the courtroom for the first time as she testified about how intoxicated she was on the night in question. The 30-year-old woman, whose identity has not been released, said

I’ve never felt like that before. I just felt I was less in control, more goofy.

While hiding her face behind a computer screen on the witness stand she cried, while recounting the alleged incident that took place at Rose’s Beverly Hills mansion on Aug. 26, 2013.

Reportedly, during a break with the jury out of the courtroom, defense lawyer Michael Monico complained that they couldn’t have her “crying all day” and suggested the judge issue a “no crying” order.

The Judge said he’d never heard of such an order.

I’m not going to order the witness not to cry any more than I’m going to order her not to breathe.

Rose and his friends Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton have denied the accusations, claiming the woman willingly had sex with all three.

The woman testified that she dated Rose on and off over 20 months . Rose’s legal team refers to their relationship “friends with benefits.”

According to a report,

After they split up in early summer of 2013, she hadn’t been in touch with Rose until the morning of Aug. 26 when she texted him a photo of herself and said he was her “inspiration.” He invited her over that night by text message and made overtures to bring a friend along for a threesome. She said she would come over for drinks. Rose sent a car to pick her up at her Los Angeles apartment and it went to the wrong address, so she was delayed in leaving and started drinking vodka at home because she was nervous. She had some wine in the car and said she had 3½ shots of tequila at the Beverly Hills mansion. She said she had previously had tequila with Rose and felt like it gave her strength, but “this was the opposite,” and she wondered if she was drugged.

She only had vague recollections of what happened afterward. She left the house after her friend got in a fight with one of Rose’s friends and vaguely remembered a cabbie helping her up to her apartment. Inside, she vomited and passed out on the bed. She had little recall after that, only “flashes” that included seeing all three men in her bedroom. “I recall waking up and seeing them in my room,” she said.

In one of these flashes, she said, Rose was at the edge of her bed undressed and pulling her toward him. She was trying to roll off the bed.

“I just felt like I wanted to throw up,” she said.

She said she woke up the next morning with her black dress around her neck, lubricant on her legs and saw a used condom on her bedroom floor. She was confused about what had happened.

She said she didn’t want to go to the police because she was embarrassed and feared her name would become public and her family would find out.

“I was scared and I was embarrassed and I didn’t want any attention,” she said as she wept in court.

She didn’t tell police until two years later after she filed the lawsuit.
