Mary J. Blige Seeks Dismissal Of $5 Million Lawsuit Filed By Stylist Misa Hylton, Calls Her Claims ‘Utterly Meritless’

Mary J. Blige is fighting back against the $5 million lawsuit filed by stylist Misa Hylton, her company M.I.S.A. Management, and rapper Vado.

Blige’s legal team recently filed a motion to dismiss the case, calling it “utterly meritless” and accusing the plaintiffs of trying to create drama for publicity. Attorney Sarah M. Matz says, “Plaintiffs and their counsel appear to enjoy fabricating accusations that will be discussed in the press and on social media for the purposes of harassing Defendants and trying to coerce a favorable settlement.”

Blige’s lawyers also argue that M.I.S.A. Management is not a valid legal entity, and points out that Hylton is not a party to Vado’s contract with Blige’s label, Beautiful Life Productions.

If you recall, the suit accuses Blige of withholding Vado’s album and blocking his ability to tour in an effort to pressure him to leave Hylton’s management company.

Blige is asking the court to dismiss the claims and to award damages, along with full reimbursement of legal fees.
