Rick Ross has been hit with a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims she was raped during the weekend of the Grammys after being drugged in Ross’ van. The woman referred to as Jane Doe does not believe that Ross raped her but wants him to be held responsible.
According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe linked up with Ross and his crew at the W hotel in Los Angeles. They had plans to go to the marijuana convention Cannabis Cup. She says she got in the van with Rick Ross, his agent Thaddeus “Black” James, and several others. She claims shortly after having one drink with Ross and “Black” she became dizzy and passed out.
The next thing she remembers is being waking up in the back of the van with Black and two hours had gone by. Afterwards she went back to the W with Black, she claims she woke up at 8AM noticed her clothes had been removed and she had been sexually assaulted. Jane Doe is pointing the finger at Black. However, she also names Rick Ross in the lawsuit because according to her Ross should have had a handle on his agent.
Ross has made a statement regarding the situation. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.
According to TMZ Ross said: ”
It has been brought to my attention that serious allegations have been made against an independent contractor, who’s services I use often. And while I am not directly involved or implicated, as a man and a father, I take this very seriously. I don’t believe any woman’s safety should be compromised and she should never be forced to do anything outside of her will, regardless of the circumstances.”
Ross continued, “While I personally have no knowledge of the specifics surrounding these allegations, it is my hope that this is rectified quickly and with sensitivity.”
Hopefully this will all be cleared up soon. Ross recently got engaged to girlfriend Lira Galore.
