Drew Dixon offered John Tale with a notification for a deposition in her sexual offense claim versus L.A. Reid. According to court files gotten by AllHipHop, Tale was noted as one of the witnesses in an exploration condition record submitted in New york city on Wednesday (Might 1).
” On April 30, 2024, Complainant offered notifications of depositions for the complying with witnesses: Nichelle Devaille (deposition established for Might 7, 2024); Karen Kwak (Might 20, 2024); Roy Lott (June 20, 2024); and John Stephens p/k/a John Tale (June 24, 2024),” the civil instance’s 3rd exploration record kept in mind.
Dixon took legal action against Reid, the magnate at Arista Records when she benefited the tag, in November 2023. Dixon asserted Reid attacked her twice by electronically permeating her without material in 2001. Reid presumably held an animosity versus her for declining his ongoing advancements.
” Adhering to the 2nd sexual offense in Mr. Reid’s auto, Ms. Dixon increased her initiatives to stay clear of Mr. Reid,” Dixon’s attorneys composed. “Nevertheless, Mr. Reid continued attempting to catch her alone by welcoming her to conferences in his resort space evening after evening. When Ms. Dixon withstood his initiatives, Mr. Reid expanded mad and significantly aggressive in the direction of her, in addition to to her musicians, and her concepts,”
They proceeded, “This was a radical turnaround from Mr. Reid’s excitement regarding her innovative preference and impulses for many years, and damage originated from the reality that Mr. Reid would straight react to Ms. Dixon’s being rejected of his sex-related advancements by penalizing the musicians Ms. Dixon had actually currently authorized or by obstructing the musicians she tried to authorize. This consisted of future super stars like Kanye West, John Tale and Toya.”
Dixon charged Reid of sex-related battery, unlawful imprisonment, willful infliction of psychological distress and gender-motivated physical violence. Both sides stood for a negotiation meeting in March. The following negotiation meeting is set up for June 25.
Lawyers standing for Dixon did not require additional time to finish exploration in the civil instance. Reid’s attorneys needed even more time.
” When it come to exploration in its entirety, Defendant notes that this instance provides uncommon obstacles considered that it has actually been started greater than 20 years after the claimed misdoings,” Reid’s lawful group kept in mind. “Therefore, extra time has actually been and will certainly be needed to situate witnesses and files, and Accused prepares for that some witnesses and files might inevitably be inaccessible as a result of the flow of time.”
Dixon took legal action against Reid under New york city’s Adult Survivors Act. The regulations enabled survivors of sexual offense to sue their abusers regardless of the law of restrictions for a 1 year duration, which finished in November 2023.
