Charlamagne Tha God has been sued by a woman about an alleged sexual assault she says he committed against her 21 years ago in 2001.
Michael Weinsten, the attorney representing Charlamagne has since responded, saying in a statement: “We are confident that Ms. Reid’s meritless civil lawsuit in which she represents herself will be promptly dismissed. This is the same sexual assault claim that was fully investigated and dismissed by authorities in South Carolina more than 21 years ago. It is also the same matter that Ms. Reid tried to re-open in 2018 that the South Carolina Solicitor General declined to re-open, suggesting among other things it was ‘not ethical’ to do so.”
In the lawsuit filed by Reid, she claims Charlamagne gave her a drink, and soon after she felt dizzy and fell. Reid claims he laughed when she collapsed and told his friends to “take her a– upstairs.” That’s when she says she was assaulted by two men, and Charlamagne took her to another room and raped her.
Reid’s lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for the alleged sexual assault and defamation.
