A woman named Vanessa LeMaistre has filed a lawsuit against Metro Boomin, a hip-hop producer, accusing him of raping her in 2016 while she was unconscious. The incident allegedly took place after she had shared her grief over the death of her 9-month-old child with him. According to the lawsuit, she became pregnant from the rape and decided to terminate the pregnancy due to the trauma and ongoing grief she was experiencing.
Metro Boomin’s lawyer has denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit a “pure shakedown” and stating that his client will defend himself in court. LeMaistre’s attorney, on the other hand, responded by saying that they look forward to proving her claims in court and before a jury.
The lawsuit claims that LeMaistre was introduced to Metro Boomin in 2016 and visited his recording studio in California, where she was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted by the producer. She later found out she was pregnant with his child and chose to have an abortion due to the circumstances of the pregnancy.
A year after the incident, Metro Boomin released a song titled “Rap Saved Me,” which the lawsuit alleges referenced LeMaistre’s sexual assault and pregnancy in its lyrics. The lawsuit also includes screenshots of what it describes as offensive tweets and retweets by the producer, which have since been deleted.
LeMaistre’s attorneys have condemned Metro Boomin’s lyrics and social media posts, stating that they demonstrate his intentions to harm women and calling for him to be held accountable for his actions.
The case is set to be resolved in court, with both parties preparing to present their evidence and arguments. The outcome of the lawsuit will determine the validity of the allegations made against Metro Boomin and the impact of his actions on the victim. It is a critical moment for justice to be served and for accountability to be upheld in cases of sexual assault and misconduct.
