The alleged sexual assault reportedly led to the birth of her son, Devonte Pippen, who died in 2011.
After the relationship ended, Valentine claims Pippen used his celebrity status as an NBA star to allegedly “stalk, harass and torment” her, which she says caused her “serious mental and emotional problems.” have.
Valentine claims she once tried to file a police report against the six-time NBA champion, only for Pippen to use his connections with local, state and federal employees to supposedly quash the report and his medical connections to get her reports to fake it and label her as “mentally ill.”
She also claims the alleged stalking caused her to lose employment opportunities and housing.
The court date was set for May 2nd.
Pippen was married to his first wife, Karen McCollum, from 1988 to 1990 before tying the knot with Larsa in 1997. The Real Housewives of Miami star filed for divorce in 2018.
Valentine, who claims she was unaware of the seven-time NBA All-Star's marriage to McCollum at the time of their relationship, has previously taken legal action against him.
She reportedly sued Pippen in 2019 for $9,999 — “the maximum allowed in small claims court” — over expenses incurred during their relationship.
She reportedly claimed that she had quantified the hotel, car, gas, food and parking expenses incurred by traveling to see Pippen at his road games and claimed that he had promised to reimburse them.
Larsa is now dating Marcus Jordan, the son of Pippen's former teammate Michael Jordan.

Pippen is currently in Australia on his “No Bull” tour with his former teammates Horace Grant and Luc Longley for a series of public appearances to discuss Michael Jordan, the club's six NBA titles and the controversial ESPN documentary about those teams , The Last Dance, to discuss.
Pippen, a Hall of Famer, was a member of all six of the Bulls' title-winning teams. Grant won three championships in Chicago before moving to Orlando as a free agent in 1994. That's when Longley moved to the Bulls en route to the club's second three-peat of the decade.
The No Bull tour promises to revive recent criticism of the documentary, which Pippen and other former Bulls viewed as a positive for Jordan, who reportedly negotiated the project's “final cut.”
Pippen and Jordan have been at odds since the release of the 2020 ESPN documentary “The Last Dance” about the 1997-98 Bulls, and things got even worse when Jordan's adult son Marcus began dating Pippen's ex-wife Larsa.
