Shit just got real! You read it here first on it’s Only ENTERTAINMENT!
Mickey “Memphitz” Wright files federal lawsuit against Viacom International, Inc.; NFGTV, Inc.; and Monami Entertainment, LLC.
VH1′s Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta season 1 is officially over after part 2 of the reunion aired last night. The show was a major hit, becoming a platform for artist like K. Michelle’s voice to finally be heard.
While on the show she was not afraid to speak on her struggles in the music industry and the infamous battle between her and ex-boyfriend Memphitz.
K. Michelle was signed to Wright’s label, Hitz Committee Ent./Jive Records. She says, one night the two got into an argument that turned into a physical fight. The singer says she was smothered by Wright and that he dragged her across the room floor leaving her with carpet burns, scars and bruises on her body.
Memhitz has denied the allegations, claiming that K. Michelle’s story is 100% false. Wright released the following statement,
“My family and I have suffered tremendously while VH-1, Monami Ent., and the other companies provided a worldwide platform for K. Michelle to repeatedly assassinate my character. The filing of this suit is to compensate for the irreparable damage that has been done to my reputation and to deter these companies from doing such future harm to others.”
Check out the press release from Wright’s reps, MediaHunterPR below.
MICKEY “MeMpHiTz” WRIGHT FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST VH-1 AND “LOVE AND HIP HOP:ATLANTA” CREATORS
Atlanta, GA-September 4, 2012-Mickey Wright, Jr. p/k/a “MeMpHiTz”, is filing a federal lawsuit against the creators and producers of the popular VH-1 reality television show “Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta.”
Attorneys Conti J. Moore, Esq. of Conti Moore Law, PLLC and Alcide L. Honoré, Esq. of Hooper & Honoré, LLC, are representing Mr. Wright. He is filing suit against the following entities: Viacom International, Inc.; NFGTV, Inc.; and Monami Entertainment, LLC.
Wright is suing the named Defendants for approximately one dollar per viewer per show for damages that stem from the defamatory statements and denigrating actions of cast member Kimberly Michelle Pate p/k/a “K. Michelle”.
According to Attorney Conti J. Moore, Esq., whose practice is based in Orlando, Florida, “Ms. Pate has taken full advantage of society’s tendency to accept claims of domestic violence as always being true, even in the absence of proof. The only abuse that actually occurred is the malicious and calculated pattern of vicious lies Ms. Pate has assailed for the purpose of fabricating a compelling story line in an attempt to ruin my client’s name.”
Atlanta based Attorney Alcide L. Honoré, Esq. maintains that, “even the most ridiculous statements when repeated frequently become true in the minds of many. Ms. Pate’s preposterous claims, which include allegations that Mr. Wright mismanaged funds and caused her career to ‘flop’, have been adopted as truth by many followers of the popular VH-1 reality series.”
Wright maintains that the suit is not about revenge but is instead about defending himself and his professional reputation from the malicious false and misleading statements made about him on the popular VH-1 reality show.
“My family and I have suffered tremendously while VH-1, Monami Ent., and the other companies provided a worldwide platform for K. Michelle to repeatedly assassinate my character. The filing of this suit is to compensate for the irreparable damage that has been done to my reputation and to deter these companies from doing such future harm to others.”
“Domestic violence is an issue of serious nature, often having grave consequences for true victims with whom we all sympathize. However, it is unconscionable for one to play on the sympathies of the masses by levying false accusations of such heinous acts against an innocent party, simply for the sake of entertainment or for purported career advancement. After reviewing the evidence in this matter, we are prepared to litigate this case to the fullest extent of the law to seek justice for our client and to restore his name and professional reputation.” Moore & Honore

If there was not evidence to support her claim of domestic violence, i.e. pictures, arrest, jail time or restitution; then why should she be allowed to continue to say this happened. Just because it is stated, doesn’t make it true. Let it play out in court and be proven then there will be no doubt as to who is telling the truth be it K. Michelle or Memphitz

He made a fool of himself by attacking her to twitter. She never mentioned his name. He brought it all on himself. I actually like him and Toya both but by going to twitter with the beef, to me, they killed their chances of a case.

That’s crazy only problem is that she never mentioned his name. Most weren’t aware of whom she was talking to until he went in on here on Twitter. Social Sites put you out there every time…

Well here’s his chance to prove her wrong. Hope it doesn’t blow up in his face! They wouldn’t have gone with that story line without proof. Vicom has too much money and attorneys to have ran those episodes without prior knowledge. Sounds like you Busted and mad! #nextime!

What kind of excuse will y’all have for her if he wins? Somethings not right about her. And I don’t think anyone would take it that far if they were guilty.

She does NOT have to mention his name in order for it to be defamation. As long as he can prove that she was talking about him, which he can, then its defamation.

Just because she didn’t run to the police does not mean the incident didn’t happen. Broke men and women fight every day. Maybe she didn’t tell at the time is because she was looking out for her career and his at the same time.

I never heard her use his name in any of the episodes. I figure everyone knew who it was but she never personally named him. She said stuff like “that man beat my ass” not “Mickey beat my ass”
