Drake Is Suing a Former Hookup Who Claimed He Raped, Impregnated Her
He may have quashed his beef with Meek Mill, but Drake is now in another battle with a woman who once claimed that he’d gotten her pregnant.
Drake says that, in addition to this baby scam, this woman made false rape allegations against him and demanded that he buy her silence.
He is suing her for extortion and for defamation.
According to court documents filed by Drake’s team and obtained by TMZ, Drake met Layla Lace at one of his concerts in early 2017.
Specifically, he met the curvaceous Instagram model while he was on his Boy Meets World Tour in Manchester, England.
In February of 2017, Drake says that he and Layla had a consensual hookup.
The sexual activity is said to have taken place in his hotel room.
According to Drake’s team, “Layla also voluntarily and seemingly happily performed oral sex.”
Drake’s attorney, celebrity lawyer Larry Stein, says that Layla was fine with the hookup — but enraged when Drake left it at that.
Apparently, she had been hoping that Drake would take her on tour with him, and did not take it well when he did not.
Though Drake and Layla continued to text, evidence contained within the lawsuit shows that Layla was more demanding of Drake’s attention.
Documents claim that Layla began to imagine a relationship beyond a hookup and flirtatious texts — that she came to believe that the two of them were dating.
That, the lawsuit says, was a factor when she claimed in April of 2017 that Drake had gotten her pregnant and then ghosted her.
Things got worse from there.
Drake’s team alleges that, when Layla was unable to get anything out of him or produce any evidence of an actual pregnancy or child, she changed tactics.
It was then that Layla allegedly accused Drake of rape — which was investigated by police and then cleared.
While police failing to find evidence of sexual assault is not the same thing as proving that it never happened, Drake’s team has that text messaging history.
With those text messages as evidence demonstrating Layla’s desperation to see him, they hope to prove defamation.
Sexual assault allegations should always be taken seriously, in part because the number of false reports are dwarfed by real ones, which are in turn dwarfed by the number of survivors who never come forward.
But that does not mean that there are never false reports. While it’s rare for a jilted ex to go to such extremes, it sounds like Layla was not even an ex.
Based upon these documents, it sounds like Layla was a hookup with whom Drake later flirted in text messages before they became too much.
Unless there is more to this story that we’re not seeing, it sounds like she may have become a stalker.
Not all stalkers are deranged fans. Some stalkers imagine an elaborate relationship with a celebrity, and then become enraged when the celebrity does not share their delusion.
Drake says that, when the sexual assault claim fell through, she tried to demand money to keep her from going public.
That said, so far, we have not heard Layla’s team’s side of the story.
We know that Drake fathered one secret love child in the past. Let’s not pretend that he isn’t capable of being shady.
But if she really did try to extort money and make false claims about Drake in the process, he may have a very solid case for defamation and extortion.
We’ll be sure to keep an eye on this case as it develops.

Jon Gosselin: Kate is Suing Me Because the Kids Love Me More!!
Kate Gosselin is currently taking Jon to court to sue him for … many times more money than he actually has.
Newly obtained court documents don’t fully explain why Kate is demanding every cent of Jon’s money.
But one thing is very clear: Jon Gosselin is pissed. And he’s fighting back.
In case you were wondering if Jon and Kate Gosselin still hate each other … wonder no more.
Kate is hauling Jon into court, suing him for $ 132,875.
Between the very specific amount and their history together, many suspect that she is asserting that he owes her child support money.
(Remember, folks, that Kate is the one with the reality series while Jon has sometimes seemed to struggle to find work, his celebrity being more of a burden than a help in most situations)
All that we really know is that Kate claims that he breached an alleged agreement.
Now, RadarOnline reports that Jon is fighting back against Kate’s lawsuit.
Thanks to some court documents that they obtained, they know what he’s arguing.
Within the filing, Jon’s attorney says that Kate’s six-figure demand is “an inappropriate amount.”
The papers also call into question Kate’s assertion that Jon owes her anything.
His attorney notes that Kate’s lawsuit does “not provide any proof of the language of that agreement.”
You know how you can’t sue someone for breach of contract without an actual contract?
Always keep documentation, folks.
Within his response, Jon shares that he suspects that Kate is seeking “child support arrears.”
This sort of back-payment would, he says, be due if he “filed a petition to modify custody.”
Of course, while much is still unclear, none of the documents specify that the couple has made any changes whatsoever to their child custody agreement.
(Sure, many fans would love to see a change in that, but while wishes are nice and all, it takes court filings to amend a custody arrangement)
Jon’s attorney is asking the judge to strike Kate’s six-figure demand all the way down to zero dollars and zero cents.
The argument is that the money requested, which is more than Jon has, also “prejudices the welfare and is against the best interest of the minor children.”
Some wonder — though, with limited information, it is difficult to be sure of the exact timing of anything — if perhaps Kate is suing Jon as a way of lashing out over how much time he’s been spending with daughter Hannah.
Hannah has been visibly spending time with her father for weeks. Many fans believe that they are now living together.
Even commenters on Kate’s own Instagram are celebrating this, writing things like:
“So happy for jon and hannah….she looks really happy…finally shes out of that prison..jon worked long and hard to rescue her from that witch…i thought you being in charge was never gonna change kate….oh brother has it changed.”
Commenters on Jon’s Instagram seem much more positive about the apparently changed arrangement.
“Hannah and Jon look great. I always loved her personality and Jon you did a great job as well.”
Of course, some couldn’t help but shade Kate in the process.
“Yes…Jon is the one we liked and respected. No comment on the other.”
So … is Kate’s lawsuit backlash for Jon spending time with Hannah (and even some time with Collin!)?
Or is it less emotional than that. Is Kate trying to get payments that she genuinely believes that Jon owes her now he is (at least for now) seemingly Hannah’s primary caregiver?
We have to acknowledge that it may be neither — some huge coincidence.
As this lawsuit continues to play out in court, we will hopefully all know more.
One thing’s for sure — we don’t think that Kate is going to get what she wants. Jon can’t pay her what he doesn’t have.

Faith Stowers: SUING Stassi Schroeder Over Claims She Stole Jax Taylor"s Car!
By the time they reach their sixth season, most reality shows are beginning to show their age.
In the case of Vanderpump Rules, however, the drama seems to become more compelling with each passing year, to the point that we’re pretty sure Bravo should just start live-streaming the cast member’s lives 24/7/356, a la The Truman Show.
Fortunately, we have social media to keep tabs on all the batsh-t hijinks in West Hollywood.
Just yesterday, Kristen Doute took to Twitter to accuse former SUR girl Faith Stowers of drugging and robbing random men throughout Los Angeles.
Needless to say, it’s a pretty serious allegation, and it could have some major legal implications for Stowers.
Especially since it’s the second time this week that she’s been accused of a felony.
Stowers currently appears on MTV’s Ex on the Beach, which is basically a reality TV Z-lister version of The Bachelor in Paradise.
To promote the show, she appeared on The Tomorrow Show podcast, where she dropped an amusing bombshell about suing Stassi for alleging that she stole Jax Taylor’s car!
“It was interviews that Ms. Schroeder has been doing and she’s been saying some evil, disgusting, untrue things about me that’s just, like, outlandish, like I stole Jax Taylor’s car. Are you kidding me?” Stowers said.
“They, that they called the police on me. If you listen to it yourself, you would maybe shake your head or giggle a little bit cause it, it sounds like, just sounds outlandish.
Faith went on to say that Stassi claimed the crime happened the very same night of Scheana Marie’s birthday party, at which Faith revealed she slept with Jax.
The day after Faith’s interview, Kristen tweeted a link to a story about an LAPD investigation into a serial thief who has drugged at least two people and stolen over $ 300,000 worth of money and jewelry.
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Kristen and Stassi came to the conclusion that the perpetrator was Faith after comparing their former co-worker’s tattoos to grainy photos of the suspect.
Doute and Schroeder say they contacted police, but officers seem uninterested in their findings.
Stowers addressed the allegations by accusing Stassi of racism.
“I don’t know if Stassi’s been around a lot of black women in her life; I’m guessing probably not,” Faith said.
“But this lady that she said looks like me on The Daily Mail is at-large and has been taking $ 300,000 worth of Rolexes and drugging people in the clubs and I mean, just disgusting type stuff.”
Obviously, it’s too soon to say for sure what’s really happening here but one thing seems certain:
Faith needs to be brought back to SUR in time for Season 7.
Watch Vanderpump Rules online to get caught up in time for Monday’s season finale.

Blac Chyna to Kim Kardashian: I"m Suing You, You Petty B-tch!
Back in July of 2017, Rob Kardashian posted nude photos of Blac Chyna as revenge for sleeping with another guy after they had already broken up.
Needless to say, Rob’s not the most stable individual, and it doesn’t come as much of surprise that Chyna is suing him for inflicting emotional distress and damaging her career prospects.
And now it seems she’s broadened her scope in hopes of taking the entire Kard clan along with Rob after being triggered by a passive-aggressive present.
Yes, Blac has decided to include Rob’s famous sisters in her lawsuit after apparently being enraged by the Valentine’s Day gift she received from Kim Kardashian.
In fairness, the perfume that she received from Kim’s new line of fragrances was sent in connection with a Snapchat video in which Kim revealed
“Chyna was furious when she got Kim’s perfume Valentine,” an insider told Radar.
“It was so rude of Kim to send that to her. Chyna was disgusted that she would be that condescending.”
Things get worse from there, with some quotes that lead us to believe this “source” is actually just Chyna:
“Chyna knows Kim is a petty b-tch, she always has been. And this was it for her. She said she wasn’t going to hide the truth about how awful Rob’s whole family has been to her,” the weirdly angry and knowledgeable insider claims.
“She has kept everything with the family to the court and hasn’t done anything on social media or anywhere else against the family, but this was low, even for them.”
The anonymous tipster went on to praise Blac for her patience in not going after the Kardashians sooner, as well as for her bravery in speaking out against them now:
“Chyna had tried to let all of the personal nasty things everyone had done to her not bother her, but she finally made the decision to stand up to the Kardashians and Jenners with all of the ammunition she had.”
In court documents obtained by Radar, Blac’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, slams the Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney for all the “false” statements “Defendants Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and/or their respective agents made.”
Bloom also quotes Kim as saying:
“The only reason Chyna wants to be with my brother is for this show. She does not love Rob and their relationship is too fake and destructive. The public has been exposed to what a fake relationship they have and it’s embarrassing and makes us all look fake.”
So the lawsuit isn’t technically about Kim shading Blac with free perfume…
…But let’s be honest, it’s totally about Kim shading Blac with free perfume.
