In a not-so-surprisingly turn of events, Memphitz filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit recently.

 

If you didn’t know him before, the VH1 hit show “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” made him a household name.  Currently married to Toya Wright (mother of Lil Wayne’s oldest child), shared a checkered past with one of the LHHATL cast members, K. Michelle.  K. Michelle, who continuosly expressed her need to “tell her story”, devulged details of her past relationship with Memphitz during the show. She spoke on how “allegedly” Memphitz spent millions of her record deal money and severly beat her.

 

Now that season one is over, news of an apparent defamation lawsuit has hit the streets.  Memphitz and his attorney filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against K. Michelle, Mona Scott-Young (executive producer), and VH1. The suit claims that Memphitz suffered defamation of character because of words spoken by K. Michelle and Mrs. Scott-Young and VH1 airing the episodes without bleeping out his name.

According to his attorney, Memphitz, real name Mickey Wright, is suing K. Michelle for defamation of character after she claimed he spent her entire recording budget and beat her to within an inch of her life. K. Michelle hurled the accusations as a cast member on VH1′s hit show Love & Hip Hop.

 

Included in the lawsuit are Mona Scott Young’s company Monami Entertainment and VH1′s parent company Viacom. Memphitz is asking for $1 per viewer of the episodes in which K. Michelle brought up his name. At a minimum, that’s $3-8 million — if he wins the suit.

 

 

What will be the final judgement? We’ll have to wait and see. But also according to SandraRose, Memphitz and his legal team tried to settle out of court. But, none of the parties bite the bait.
