An unidentified woman who sued Chris Brown alleging he drugged and raped her on Diddy’s yacht in Miami Beach has lost her legal representation after police found text messages that complicate her case, Rolling sources confirm Stone.
Sources say a Miami Beach police detective recovered the texts from the woman’s phone while investigating the allegations and turned them over to the woman’s legal team last week.
“We are very grateful that the Miami Beach Police Department brought this to our attention. They did a great job,” George Vrabek, the woman’s lawyer, told Rolling Stone.
The lawyer confirmed that he and colleague Ariel Mitchell will no longer represent plaintiff Jane Doe in the sexual assault, false imprisonment and gender-based assault lawsuit filed against Brown on Jan. 28 due to unspecified “information” received from police last Thursday. .
“We were not notified of the existence of such information (prior to filing). This prevents us from moving forward for a number of reasons,” says Vrabek. “This is not a comment on whether the attack happened or not, but it prevents us from moving forward.”
A Miami Beach police spokesman declined to comment on the department’s investigation, calling it an active investigation.
In her complaint, the woman alleges that the R&B singer drugged her and assaulted her on a yacht docked at Diddy’s Star Island home in December 2020.
On Tuesday, Radar Online released alleged excerpts from text messages, including messages from days immediately after the alleged attack, in which a woman allegedly asks to see Brown again and shares candid photos.
“Missing you,” she allegedly texted Brown months later, Radar reported. “Honestly you were the best – I already had it lol I just want it again.”
On Tuesday, Brown, 32, shared the Radar story on his Instagram stories, along with a statement. “Stop dragging me through the mud,” he wrote. “My team and I are going to court over this situation. You can’t play with people’s lives like that.”
Jane Doe’s plaintiff can hire a new attorney to take over the case and serve her complaint on Brown. If she does not, the court is expected to dismiss the lawsuit due to Brown’s lack of service.
