L.A. Reid’s Attempt To Get Sexual Assault Lawsuit Dismissed Has Been Denied By A Judge

L.A. Reid is still facing a sexual assault lawsuit in New York, despite his recent attempt to get it dismissed.

He failed to convince Judge Valerie Caproni to dismiss the case, so music producer Drew Dixon’s lawsuit against the longtime executive will move forward.

According to All Hip-Hop, Drew Dixon, one of the women who accused Russell Simmons of rape, sued L.A. Reid for sexual assault in 2023. She claims he assaulted her twice during her time at Arista Records around 20 years ago.

The first assault allegedly occurred during a company retreat in Puerto Rico in 2001. Drew Dixon said L.A. Reid digitally penetrated her without consent. The second assault took place a few months later when Reid allegedly groped and kissed Dixon in a car, again without her permission. Dixon’s complaint detailed Reid’s alleged persistent sexual harassment and retaliation for rejecting his advances.

Her lawsuit includes claims of sexual battery and assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and a violation of the New York City Gender Motivated Violence Act.
