Farrah Abraham is starting her 2024 off with a whole lotta lawsuits: PER LAW!
TMZ broke the news this week that the fired Teen Mom OG star was being sued by a female security guard at the Los Angeles nightclub that Farrah was arrested outside of in January 2022.
As The Ashley told you at the time, Farrah was bounced from Grandmaster Recorders restaurant after she reportedly slapped one of the club’s security guards. After she was removed from the venue, Farrah went on to be arrested for battery– but not before finding herself face-down on a sidewalk after being placed under citizen’s arrest. Shortly after the incident and arrest, Farrah (naturally) proclaimed her innocence, and the female security guard posted her injuries allegedly caused by Farrah to Instagram.
Now, that security guard has filed a lawsuit against Farrah— and, in turn, Farrah has filed her own lawsuit against the nightclub and others— and The Ashley has all the exclusive details on both lawsuits!
On January 8, Farrah was served with paperwork that stated that the female security guard (whose first name is Megan) is suing her.
In court documents obtained by The Ashley, Megan states that the Backdoor Teen Mom committed “intentional bodily injury/property, intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery and assault” against her. Megan states that she suffered loss of wages, hospital/medical expenses, general damage and a loss of earning capacity because of what Farrah allegedly did to her that night, and now she wants the The Big F to pay up— in an excess of more than $25,000!
In her complaint, Megan states that she was working at the restaurant as a security guard when she was told by other security staff that a fight was going down at the rooftop lounge. She went up there and worked with other security guards to escort Farrah off the property due to her “assaultive behavior with other customers.”
“[Farrah] physically assaulted [Megan] when [Megan] approached. [Farrah] struck [Megan] on the side of her face,” the court doc state.
“The incident caused serious bodily injury and damages to [Megan] by reason of the foregoing. [Megan’s] injuries include, but are not limited to, an eye injury and injuries to her face for which [Megan] seeked medical treatment, as well as psychological trauma and emotional distress.
“[Megan] has and will continue to incur medical expenses for hospitals, doctors, lost earnings and other expenses and damages in an amount to be proven at trial.”
(In a deleted 2022 Instagram post, Megan posted a photo of herself with a black eye along with a caption explaining that she was already blind in one eye, and cannot see out of the eye she was allegedly hit in.)
Megan— who has retained an attorney— is set to go head-to-head with Farrah at a Case Management Conference that has been scheduled for May 8 in Los Angeles.
After her arrest, Farrah continued to claim on Instagram that she was innocent, while also stating that she planned to sue the nightclub for the alleged damage they caused her.
“Grandmaster Recorders is to blame for my assault, my body is in pain and I will never normalize abuse or violence like this. Wrong is wrong. Crime is crime….
“I was attacked on the rooftop and tried to leave for safety and was then assaulted by a security guard and lied about on the sidewalk,” Farrah posted in January 2022, along with photos of injuries she said were caused by the security guard. “Charges are being pressed— no customer should be attacked.”
“Damaging my body is serious and legal protocols were not followed on a public sidewalk awaiting police,” she captioned a photo of scratches she claimed she received during the incident. “This is against the law. Charges will be in full effect as no one should ever have this happen to them. Stop normalizing abuse!”
In a Yelp review written by Farrah shortly after her arrest, the ‘Teen Mom’ star accused the club and its employees of “batterment, racism” and hate crimes.
On January 9, Farrah made good on her vow to sue the nightclub. She filed her own lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Grandmaster Recorders, as well as the hospitality group that owns the restaurant and the restaurant’s head of security, George Velasquez.
Interestingly, Farrah is not suing Megan, the female security guard who is suing her, at this time.
Farrah has hired her own attorney, and in court documents obtained by The Ashley, is demanding compensation of more than $25,000.
In the court documents, Farrah states that she is “a known celebrity” and that she was having dinner with friends at the restaurant when she “was invited by staff to enjoy after-dinner drinks at the upstairs bar.”
She then claims that, while at that bar, a random customer “suddenly attacked” her, “shoving her violently multiple times and swinging her purse at her.” In the hubbub, one of Farrah’s friends was hit, and the whole incident was allegedly seen by the club’s security staff. Farrah then claims she was “physically grabbed from behind by the arms” by a security guard and was “forcibly taken away from the bar and escorted out of the restaurant.”
Farrah says that the head of security, George, and other staff members then “roughly and rudely escorted her out of the restaurant.”
From there, Farrah says she was outside the restaurant, innocently waiting for her friends when the security guards again came over to her and assaulted her.
“[Farrah was] then physically roughed up by…[George] Velasquez, an overly aggressive male security guard who then wrestled with [Farrah], flung her down to the ground like a ragdoll, handcuffed her, and then held her down on the ground, at times using his knee to do so, repeatedly saying ‘You are going to jail.'”
(There was actual video footage of this scene, however, which is posted below. In her court paperwork, Farrah omits the fact that she was belligerently and sometimes incoherently screaming during this time and that the security guard told her to “please be calm” and asked that Farrah not try to bite or hit him again.)
In her lawsuit, Farrah writes that this “horrific scene” was videoed by one of her friends as “the shocking cruelty unfolded.”
“As a result of Defendants’ heinous and appalling behavior, [Farrah] has suffered irreparable and permanent damage…” she states.
Farrah lists this “permanent damage” as “serious physical, mental and emotional injuries as a result of the battery committed” by the Defendants.
She is suing all of the Defendants for assault, stating that Head of Security George was “unfit and incompetent to perform work as security personnel” and that he and the others intended to “cause a harmful and/or offensive contact” with her.
Farrah says that she has suffered and continues to suffer “severe physical injuries, severe anxiety, humiliation, embarrassment, great pain of mind and body and disgrace.”
She also claims she has a “loss of enjoyment of life.”
The fired ‘Teen Mom’ starlet is also suing all of the Defendants for battery, claiming she did not consent for Head of Security George to touch her in the way he did.
“[Farrah] can be seen in the video writhing on the floor in pain, screaming in sheer terror, and doing all that she could to get away from Defendant Velasquez’s vice-like clutches,” the court paperwork reads.
“Any reasonable person in [Farrah’s] situation would have been offended by the shockingly harmful, callous and heartless way in which Defendant Velasquez flung [Farrah] to the ground like a ragdoll, wantonly disregarding [her] safety, then forcibly holding her down on the ground using his knees, hands and body weight.”
All Defendants are also being sued for “General Negligence,” “Negligent Use of Excessive Force,” “Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress” and “Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress.”
She claims Head of Security George “vented his frustrations on [Farrah], thereby unnecessarily traumatizing her.”
All Defendants (except Head of Security George Velasquez) are being sued for “Negligent Training, Hiring & Supervision,” as well as “Premises Liability,” with Farrah stating that they are responsible for the harm that Farrah suffered because they “negligently hired, supervised and/or trained Defendant Velasquez, whose outrageous and egregious conduct harmed [Farrah].”
She also claims that Head of Security George had invalid and/or cancelled security guard license at the time of the incident, and that the other Defendants knew or should have known this.
Farrah says she suffered “special damages” that include “physical harm, medical bills, relocation costs and other special damages” that will be proven at trial. (As The Ashley previously reported, Farrah moved from Los Angeles to Texas shortly after the incident occurred.)
In another part of the paperwork, Farrah states that she suffered “scars and disfigurement and other intangible losses.”
Farrah is also suing everyone but Head of Security George for “Respondeat Superior,” which basically says an employer is responsible for the actions of its employee.
Finally, Farrah is suing everyone for “Punitive Damages Pursuant to Civil Code 3294.” (California Civil Code 3294 says that, “with respect to a corporate employer, the advance knowledge and conscious disregard, authorization, ratification or act of oppression, fraud, or malice must be on the part of an officer, director, or managing agent of the corporation.”)
Basically, Farrah says that Head of Security George’s employers didn’t intervene and prevent George from allegedly harming Farrah, and that they knew he had an invalid security guard license and still allowed him to “physically and excessively abuse [Farrah] even though she had already left the establishment and was no longer on company property.”
“Defendants…knew that [Farrah] was vulnerable given [Farrah] is a female weighing less than 120 lbs. Defendants…took advantage of the vulnerability and weakness of [Farrah],” the court docs state.
Farrah then names multiple other instances where similar “maltreatment” incidents against other patrons had occurred at Grandmaster Recorders restaurant.
In her lawsuit, Farrah is asking for compensation in a sum to be proven at the time of trial, as well as: payment of her costs and attorney fees; pre-judgment interest at the legal prevailing rate; the costs of the lawsuit; and other relief that the court deems proper.
She is requesting a jury trial.
After filing her lawsuit, Farrah took to Instagram to boast in her signature “Farrah Speak” manner and seemingly act like she already won her case. (As per usual, The Ashley has left all of Farrah’s grammatical and spelling errors intact to preserve the genuine “Farrah Speak” goodness.)
"JUSTICE IS SERVED, count it #10 counts with camera footage, pictures, court evidence, fans submitting evidence, as always take care of yourself first,” she wrote. “#trauma center and I thank my center and doctors for helping me overcome #ptsd and #recover. I won’t ever go out to LA again due to this, don’t trust untrained pretend security with no licenses. Companies need to be held accountable for harming customers with their untrained criminal staff.
“Thank you to my team, court and fans who brought evidence forward in this case and I will make a change to help others in civil law cases as such,” she continued. “I will not tolerate their staff continueing harrassment, defamation, criminal behavior. #Winning THANK YOU GOD.”
And then, because it’s Farrah, she hashtagged her post “#mlkjrday” and “defence.”
AS YOU DO.
The Ashley will continue to update on these cases. Stay tuned…

hey cori! we were talking about your fics in a chat today and i thought i’ll check up on you. hows the family? i love the quilt you made btw!!
Decent. Life goes on.
And the quilt turned out awesome. I'll have to snag a picture of it. I ended up filling it with down from an old comforter I bought at a second-hand store and using a fish-sheet for the back. I use a fish-scale quilting pattern to hold the down in place.
Hubby, who had originally thought it a big unnecessary, loved it so much we now have matching cushions (made from an old memory foam mattress pad that we cut up) and curtains for the fish house. It looks nice. :)
Longer version:
- Two kids are running around crazily and making life busy. Oldest is struggling in school because she's gifted / possibly autistic and the rural school she attends doesn't have an appropriate program for her (ie: high academic rigor and lots of social/emotional skills). Trying to get her into a different school for next year, but I'd have to open-enroll and that school closed open-enrollment for COVID reasons and it's not going well, and I'm not sure how we'd get her there every day anyways because the bus doesn't run to our house. Younger started preschool a few months ago, but the school keeps getting closed due to an outbreak of COVID they can't seem to get under control because you can't mask 2-3 year olds safely, so we're struggling with child care for him, and worries about him bringing the virus home to my husband, who is medically unable to be vaccinated.
- Work sucks. I teach at a middle school and it just sucks. Lotsa reasons that have been rehashed endlessly. Basically boils down to staff not being all on the same page, everyone being tired and frustrated, and nobody knowing how to properly support this many kids struggling with social and emotional issues at once. AND I can't take days off without getting side-eyed by admin because we have like two subs for our whole district, so bye-bye mental health. Had a panic attack yesterday while subbing for gym class - that was fun. It's like my twentieth this school year. (I'd go back on meds for it, but coming off the meds sucks more than the panic attacks do.) Doesn't help that my principal has checked out completely and is dealing with lots of personal issues and a school board that hates him.
- I made the good/bad decision to go back to college to get a degree in instructional coaching and curriculum design. I'm like 75% done, but it's eating every spare moment of my life because I'm pushing to be done in 15 months (one school year and two summers). But I got a seriously good grant, due to how little money my family made in 20-21, and couldn't pass up the opportunity. That, and I could switch from public school teaching to a private multi-district entity in a few towns away that coordinates curriculum, or do something through the local college as a professor... which sounds less stressful. (I also want to do more with writing, and would love the ability to drop to part-time and pick up freelance writing - this degree opens that option.)
- There's still a foot of snow on the ground and I'm ready for spring. Welcome to mud season in Minnesota.
- I teach a traditional ecological unit in association with the reservation a dozen miles from the school (ie: how to coordinate with Native Americans to use ancient mythology to inform ecological decisions of today), and I'm currently being sued for violation of the establishment clause in the 1st amendment (church and state are separate). District lawyer says the lawsuit is an utter waste of paper and won't go anywhere - much like the people that sued the school board for a million dollars in emotional damage to their children for the mask mandate - but it's an added stress I don't need.
- We made precisely $724 too much last year and will lose a lot of our government benefits when our paperwork goes through, unless minimums are raised for those benefits. That $724 will cost us thousands. We spent hours staring at our taxes trying to figure out how to fix it without doing something illegal and failed, so we're just crossing our fingers that since cost of living is spiking the benefit limits will go up too. So there's another added stress I don't need right now.
- On the positive side, I get a week off for spring break this week. :) And I'm starting to plan out my garden, which is exciting. Nine more weeks of hell and I get summer!!

Ship Questions!
Hotch/Reid
Domestic 🥰
(Also, I’m a huge fan of all your writings! Thanks for sharing 💜)
Thank you! ❤️
Sorry, this got pretty long!
1.) If they get married, who proposes?
Aaron does. Spencer is very comfortable not being married ever, and it's Aaron's drive to ensure Jack is in good hands in the event of his death that pushes him toward marriage. Spencer doesn't exactly want a wedding, but he knows Aaron is traditional and it's important to him, so he goes along with it.
2.) What's the wedding like? Who attends?
This could go one of two ways. 1.) They elope to Las Vegas so Diana can attend and invite literally no one else.
Or, more likely, 2.) They throw a BAU wedding in DC. JJ is the maid of honor and Derek is the best man. Rossi walks Spencer down the aisle and Gideon officiates. Rossi cries. Jack is the ring bearer and Henry is the flower girl.
A mostly unfamiliar face shows up, strolling up during the reception after the ceremony while Spencer is talking to Rossi and Derek. Spencer recognizes him first. "I don't want you here."
William is holding a brochure, pointing to where Rossi's name is listed as the father of the groom. "I would've come if you had called."
"I didn't want you to."
"You could've called," he insists. "You didn't have to write me off like this."
Derek goes to intercede, but Rossi catches him by the arm. "Hey, Reid," he says, looking quite mild. "There's one fatherly lesson I haven't taught you yet."
"What's that?" Spencer is confused at this assertion.
"How to throw a right hook."
William is on the floor, Aaron is covering Jack's eyes, Emily is cheering, JJ is trying to drag Spencer away, Gideon is getting Rossi some ice for his hands, and Strauss is pressing the bridge of her nose trying to decide if they can somehow make this a lawsuit for the bureau or if this is going to create more paperwork for her somehow.
Aaron invites a handful of old lawyer friends and Sean, who does reluctantly show up. Spencer invites his professors and teachers and Ethan. Several of them greet him with, "Oh, I haven't seen you in so long! You've gotten so tall!" which yields the question who was that person, and the answer is always, "A professor from my first doctorate."
3.) How many kids do they have?
In most timelines, only Jack. Spencer doesn't have any desire to spread his genes with his sketchy health history, and while Aaron wanted a bigger family with Haley, he knows it wouldn't be fair to do this to another child, the inconsistent hours, the lack of presence, and besides, Jessica wouldn't agree to free childcare for another kid. Spencer is okay with not being a father in the traditional way, and he's still someone who is very important to Jack, not to mention Henry and Hank and (insert baby name because I reject JJ naming her second child Michael).
But there is another timeline where they've discussed it. Spencer wants to be a father, and he tells Aaron that, and they aren't really sure how to proceed—with their line of work and histories, they aren't eligible for adoption. They look into surrogacy, but Spencer again doesn't really care to pass on his genetic material, and Aaron is having a very hard time shaking off his Catholic upbringing that makes him feel super duper icky and weird about something of his growing inside a woman he doesn't actually know that well and then that child being his and not part of her. They're at an impasse when, on a case, there's a break when a woman is found disemboweled in the dumpster while her newborn infant is wrapped in a plastic bag. There is no family after identification. Social services comes to take the baby, and they both feel like maybe this is some sign from the universe and they're missing out. Later that night when neither of them can sleep, Aaron rolls out of bed and calls the social services contact, and the baby is still floating around the office, not having yet found a foster family. So they take her.
It's several years of paperwork as they transition from foster parents to adopted guardians of Haley Diana Hotchner-Reid. Spencer steps down from the BAU to become a research professor full-time, and he finds cures for antibiotic-resistant bacterial illnesses. He invents a vaccine for tuberculosis. He has a routine schedule, so he's available for the kids all the time, and Aaron doesn't have to leave his job to have the family he wants.
4.) Do they have any pets?
Usually, no. Aaron is afraid of dogs. Animals don't like Spencer. Aaron grew up in rural Virginia, so he likes the idea of having horses like he did when he was young, but they don't have anywhere to put a horse or farm animals, and while Spencer fantasizes about having a farm, he thinks horses and cattle up close are terrifying. But occasionally they wind up with a cat, or even two cats if they're adventurous, and Spencer does a lot of research to start appropriate fish husbandry with a giant, well-kept aquarium where he teaches Jack all about how to properly care for fish (ie, goldfish and betas don't go in bowls, no fish go in bowls).
5.) Who's the stricter parent?
Neither of them are all that stern. Aaron doesn't know how to appropriately discipline a child. He knows what not to do, but he isn't sure about alternatives, and whenever Jack acts out of turn, he feels like it's his fault for letting Jack down and letting him experience so much trauma that twisted his ability to process his emotions in a healthy way. Aaron doesn't know how to provide structure and support in a positive way, and he tries, but it's hard.
Spencer also didn't exactly have any good parental role models. He does have the ability to learn everything there is to know about a child's interests through reading, and he does that to make connections. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't and Jack has still graffitied the side of the school building and Aaron is having to pay out damages and is trying very hard not to raise his voice and Spencer is like, "Is this what Ash Ketchum would do?" and Jack responds, "I'm thirteen, I haven't watched Pokemon in five years, grow up." Then they enlist a family counselor.
6.) Who kills the bugs?
Neither have bug fear. Spencer will squish roaches and pest bugs as he finds them. However, he thinks unique bugs are quite interesting, and he doesn't kill ants or spiders or crickets. Instead, he studies them. Spiders he always captures and takes outside. Once, Spencer has a piece of paper and a cup and is working very hard on entrapping a beautiful black widow, and Aaron sees it without realizing what he's doing and mushes it. "Why would you do that? Why would you kill an arachnid? She was protecting our home." After that, Aaron lets Spencer handle all the bugs and doesn't interfere since he never knows which ones deserve to live and which ones don't.
7.) How do they celebrate the holidays?
If someone is hosting a Christmas party, they'll attend, but otherwise, they'll stay inside and decorate the tree as a family. Sean is invited to Christmas dinner; he rarely comes. Jessica and her family go to her parents', and Aaron doesn't want to make Spencer uncomfortable by taking him there, so they avoid such gatherings. They make it special with just the three of them, unless another member or two of the BAU wants to squeeze in. Aaron likes to go to midnight mass, and he usually manages to convince Spencer to sit through it one night of the year.
On Halloween, they all go trick-or-treating together.
Easter is the other day of the year Aaron insists they go to church because, "I am nothing if not a Chreaster Catholic." Aaron takes Jack alone while Spencer stays home and sets up a wild egg hunt somewhere in the city, and when church ends, Aaron brings Jack to look for the eggs. Sometimes the rest of the BAU's kids join in.
For Memorial Day and Fourth of July, Aaron grills. Spencer tries once and they spend Memorial Day in the ER and Aaron has to buy a new grill. Likewise, they agree Spencer should not come within three feet of any firework materials, including benign sparklers and the like.
8.) Who's more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?
Aaron likes to get up early to brew Spencer's coffee the way he likes it, warm the house up, and start breakfast. Spencer never asks him to come back because he enjoys having the house warm and breakfast ready when he rolls out of bed. But if Aaron isn't feeling well and Spencer gets out of bed to do those things, it only takes a couple petulant grumbles on Aaron's part to convince Spencer to slide back under the covers.
9.) Who's the better cook?
Aaron is a much better cook. Spencer, to his credit, tries sometimes. But Aaron has a better understanding of how palates work and also how not to set things on fire. Spencer knows cooking is technically just a science, but it's a science that baffles him, he'll admit, like paranormal science or theology.

Funeral home refused to cremate gay man, lawsuit alleges
(CNN)A gay man is suing a funeral home in Mississippi, alleging that it refused to cremate his husband because it did not "deal with their kind."
John "Jack" Zawadski, 82, and his nephew filed a lawsuit against the Picayune Funeral Home's owners seeking damages for breach of contract and emotional distress.
The lawsuit accuses them of backing out of a verbal agreement to provide final services for Zawadski's husband, Robert Huskey, in May 2016 after discovering he was gay. The reversal compounded the family's grief and left them scrambling for alternatives. The only provider they could find was 90 miles away, the lawsuit alleges, leading the family to cancel Huskey's memorial.
The funeral home denied all the claims in a response to the lawsuit. Messages left at the funeral home were not returned Tuesday night.
The lawsuit, filed in March and announced Tuesday by law firm Lambda Legal, comes at a contentious time for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. There's no federal law that protects LGBT people from discrimination, leading Democrats to introduce the Equality Act of 2017 Tuesday.
The bill is intended to override religious freedom measures such as the one Mississippi tried to enact in 2016 that would effectively legalize the treatment Zawadski said he experienced. Moreover, advocacy groups fear President Trump is considering an executive order that would create such religious exemptions.
"I felt as if all the air had been knocked out of me," Zawadski said in a statement. "Bob was my life, and we had always felt so welcome in this community. And then, at a moment of such personal pain and loss, to have someone do what they did to me, to us, to Bob, I just couldn't believe it. No one should be put through what we were put through."
Zawadski and Huskey met in 1965 in California. They moved around the country, teaching special education classes and running an apple orchard, before retiring in Picayune, Mississippi in 1997, for the friendly neighbors and warm climate, the lawsuit states.
They finally married in July 2015, weeks after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage settled. Less than two months later, Huskey's health began to deteriorate and he moved into a nursing home.
As Huskey's death became imminent in 2016 his nephew made arrangements with Picayune Funeral Home to transport his uncle's body from the nursing home when the time came. He chose the funeral home for its location and on-site crematorium to ensure Huskey's body would not have to be moved more than necessary.
It was also important to the couple that the funeral home be near their community so friends could gather for a memorial luncheon after the cremation, the lawsuit says.
Their nephew, John Gaspari, spoke with an employee and entered into a verbal agreement to transport Huskey's body from the nursing home to the funeral home for cremation and related services. The day before his death on May 10, 2016, he called again to let them know Huskey would likely pass away within the next 24 hours. Again, the lawsuit claims, a representative assured him "all that was needed was a call from the nursing home when Bob passed away" and they would take care of everything.
After his uncle's death, Gaspari said the nursing home contacted him and told him the funeral home "adamantly" refused to provide services after learning through the paperwork that Huskey's spouse was male, according to the lawsuit.
The nursing home told Gaspari the funeral said it did not "deal with their kind," the lawsuit says. Furthermore, the nursing home representative said the body needed to be moved immediately because it did not have a morgue on site.
The news prompted a frantic search for another funeral home with an on-site crematorium that led the family to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, some 90 miles away.
The "turmoil and exigency" created by the funeral home "permanently marred the memory of Bob's otherwise peaceful passing," the lawsuit states.
"Because of the added distance of the alternative funeral home and the last minute rush to find alternate arrangements after defendants left them in the lurch, John and Jack were unable to gather friends in the community, as had been their original plan, to honor Bob and support them in their grief."
The lawsuit requests a jury trial and unspecified monetary damages.

According to TMZ, the ATL rapper filed a lawsuit against Eliza (the alleged mother of his 7th child) for defamation and invasion or privacy. Future still hasn’t taken a paternity test for Eliza’s daughter (named Reign Wilburn), so it still hasn’t been legally confirmed if he’s the father. The site reports:
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Future claims Eliza's sharing intimate facts about him from their private sexual relationship in order to gain clout and squeeze money outta him.
Future doesn't address whether he's the father to Eliza's child, but he says they had a sexual relationship from 2016 to 2018 and claims he never would have slept with her in the first place if he knew she would kiss and tell.
Or, how about just wear a condom?
The report continues:
In the docs, Future claims Eliza gave a vivid description of his genitals during an interview on Rah Ali's Onsite on Stationhead and then blasted it out to her Instagram followers.
In the suit, Future also claims Eliza is spreading lies about him on social media -- like the time she claimed he hired someone to murder her because she wouldn't get an abortion -- and claims it's hurting his brand and causing substantial emotional distress.
Future wants a court to stop Eliza from trashing his name publicly and he's going after her for damages.
The interview Future is referring to in the suit is an interview Eliza did last month with former “Love & Hip Hop” star Rah Ali.
In the interview, Eliza explained she met Future in 2012 after booking him for a club hosting gig. They ended up starting an unprotected sexual relationship that lasted for two years before she became pregnant…allegedly with his baby. Eliza made it clear she and Future were “homies,” she wasn’t a “one night stand,” and that she was not having unprotected sex with a stranger.
“People were saying and thinking ‘Oh, you were a one night stand.’ No. We’ve known each other. He had given be business advices," she said.
Business advices? Chile…
Eliza said everything was cool between her and Future up until she filed for child support for her daughter when the baby was four months old. Before her baby was born, she said Future told her to hit him up when the baby was born and they would get a paternity test. She said he also told her that she wouldn’t be having a baby with him, she would be having a "baby with the court" system. Fans accused her of stealing his last name when she posted pictures of the baby, tagging an Instagram account named Reign Wilburn. She said there’s no reason for her to steal his last name.
“When I was pregnant, a month before I had Reign we spoke and he specifically stated ‘When the baby coming let me know, I’m going to come to the hospital and if the baby is mine whatever child support we agree on, I’m going to pay it. So it’s no reason for me to steal a last name.”
Eliza said she gave her baby his last name because she’s from the islands and that’s just what they believe. By the time Baby Reign turned four months old, she said Future pretty much ghosted her.
Previously, she made claims that Future threatened her when she told him she was pregnant with his baby. She said he wanted her to have an abortion, but when she refused, he allegedly put a bounty out on her life.
When she was asked if the sex was good, she said,
“He’s lazy in the bed. He’s a lazy f*ck. You have to put it on him. You have to f*ck him,” she shared.
Lazy?! Lordt. Eliza then got up and grabbed what appeared to be a shampoo bottle and compared his penis size to it.
Eliza then spilled MORE tea, making claims that she was one of FOUR women pregnant at the same damn time. Sheesh!
Eliza said she never wanted to get the courts involved, but he “forced” her hand. As for his new relationship, she said she doesn’t care that Future is living it up with his new girlfriend Lori Harvey.
”As far as Lori, she’s a confirmed City Girl and I’m very entertained,” she said.
She accused Future of canceling court dates to take trips, which is the reason why they still haven’t determined paternity of Baby Reign.
Peep the interview below starting at the 26:45-minute mark:
If you haven't heard, another woman named Cindy Renae Parker filed paperwork against Future with claims that he's the father of her son, Legend Ary Wilburn. She made similar claims that Future ghosted her after she told him she was pregnant.

In December 2019, Eliza and Cindy teamed up to have their children take DNA tests to prove Future IS the father. The results came back that Reign and Legend are 99.9% half siblings.

Almost every day I pray that these two grow together and never let anything or anyone come in between them #BFFs

If Baby Legend is his, he will be his 8th child.
In an interview with Big Boy of Big Boy’s Neighborhood last year, the Dirty Sprite rapper revealed he wants MORE kids, specifically boys. Yes, he wants more kids as if he doesn't have enough already.
“I gotta have more kids. I don’t want no girls. I got one girl. Me and my boys, we are like best friends," he said.
“I’m building my legacy. I hustle for my last name. You got to understand when you have a girl, they give away your last name. My sons, I’m just thinking about we got all our last names; it’s gonna be huge. When like, 50 years, 60 years from now, you going to speak of me. You going to speak of my legacy. And that’s what you do. This is what I worked for. Why would you work, have all this and just to leave it with one kid. And then something happen and there is no more of y’all.”
Just...no.
He also confirmed his son Hendrix Wilburn with Joie Chavis is Baby #6, so Eliza's daughter would be Baby #7 and Cindy's son would be Baby #8 - if he's proven to be the father. That means he would have 8 children with 7 different women. Whew.

Amazon Allegedly Fired and Blacklisted a Worker for Using Medical Cannabis
In the summer of 2018, Amazon allegedly administered a cheek swab drug test to a top-performing warehouse worker in Edison, New Jersey. The worker used medical cannabis to treat panic attacks, and the test results came back positive.
Medical cannabis is legal in the state of New Jersey. But even after providing the company with a doctor’s note, the worker was fired.
Things took a turn for the worse when the worker applied to a position at a Whole Foods grocery store. Not only had he been fired from his warehouse job, but he also alleges he was blacklisted from working at the grocery chain and all businesses owned by Amazon.
The worker, who was prescribed medical cannabis to ease an anxiety disorder, is now suing Amazon in federal court for disability and workplace discrimination. In the lawsuit, the worker is identified as "DPC," their initials.
“Amazon is such a big and powerful corporation. I felt like it was following me,” DPC. told Motherboard. “Between Amazon and Whole Foods, I was looking at a couple hundred thousand positions that I wasn’t eligible to apply for. It was extremely defeating.”
“As a result of [Amazon’s] continuing and unlawful conduct, plaintiff suffered a protracted period of unemployment, emotional distress, and has been permanently damaged in his economic potential,” his complaint states.
The lawsuit is the latest legal battle between employers and employees in determining how far medical cannabis laws extend into the workplace. Amazon told Motherboard it would not comment on the case or provide more information on its medical cannabis policy in states where it’s legal. But workers in online forums say Amazon requires all new employees to take an oral drug test upon their hiring, and at least once a year after that as a condition of their employment.
In July, New Jersey’s governor signed into law the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act, which prohibits employers from firing workers on the basis of their status as medical cannabis patients. The use of medical cannabis “shall not constitute the use of an illicit substance,” according to state law.
“It shall be unlawful to take any adverse employment action against an employee who is a registered qualifying patient based solely on the employee’s status as a registrant with the commission,” the law says. However, the law does not specify whether patients can use cannabis on the job.
New Jersey joins 13 other states, including New York, Arizona, and Illinois, whose medical cannabis laws provide employment protections.
“It’s important to know that this was not a workplace accident, nor was my client impaired in the workplace,” Dana Venneman, the attorney on the case told Motherboard. “We want to bring justice to DPC and to prevent employers, like Amazon, from unlawfully injecting themselves into patient-doctor decisions on health care.”
At the time of his drug test, DPC allegedly offered to show Amazon his medical cannabis card and had been informed that he would be able to do so later. But DPC claims that a month after taking the drug test—his first after 10 months on the job—managers pulled him into an office and fired him. When he produced a copy of his medical cannabis card, his manager said they would investigate further and suspended him, the lawsuit alleges. Days later, that manager allegedly confirmed DPC would be fired for “failing to inform” Amazon about his condition prior to the test.
“I feel like Amazon didn’t consider how medical marijuana helps me,” DPC said. “Since I started talking it my anxiety and panic attacks have significantly decreased. But Amazon didn’t even look at my medical marijuana paperwork from my doctor. Their first instinct was to fire me.”
In the aftermath of his firing from Amazon, DPC said that it’s been difficult to find another job that pays as well. In fact, he’s still searching for work.
“I’m applying for jobs and it does feel like I’m not being considered because of my termination from Amazon,” he told Motherboard. “Amazon can be playing a much more active role in how they treat employees. Medical marijuana made me a better person and worker. I would like to see the stigma erased.”

Well, that depends– have you or somebody that you know been injured?
Preventing an accident can be quite frightening. Car accidents and other events can be physically painful but also cause emotional and mental trauma and scarring. That is only the personal stuff, and doesn’t even account for period recovering, salary lost, and how your life could be disrupted or even altered forever.
Regardless of which type of occasion you have been through, the very first thing you ought to do is whatever it takes to take care of your self. The second thing which you need to do is contact an attorney and determine what your options are. If you think this topic applies to you or someone that you know, read on and find out more.
When the shock of your accident or somebody you know in an accident has passed, you may have to deal with everything else. However, this does not make dealing with an accident that occurred due to negligence on the part of another any simpler.
One of the most common types of accidents is car accidents. Other than harm, loss of land can occur from these kinds of injuries. The insurance carrier might reimburse you or repair it, however if you are not at fault and are not issued reimbursement, you may have to fight it. Insurance providers are not predisposed to giving out cash, and you could realize that the first claim you’re offered is much smaller than you’d like or perhaps deserve. If that’s the situation, seeking out an attorney who specializes in personal injury is the way to go.
Don’t accept less than you deserve if you have received an offer for compensation that you don’t believe is fair. While the insurance companies exist to cover or protect people, they want to save money where they can. An attorney can get you the compensation that you need. If your accident occurred because of a scarcity of living up to the obligation which another individual has, like bad driving, reckless endangerment, and much more, don’t let it stand– hire a good lawyer.
Creating an appointment to speak with one or more of the qualified lawyers in this region might help you get some responses to the questions you have and work with you in your attempt to get compensation for you or a loved one. If you or someone that you know has been hurt in a personal accident without injury or even fatality, you should continue to keep all of your documents and paperwork and call now so that you may attempt to receive the compensation for an incident which didn’t have to occur.

What If I Was Partially at Fault for My Injuries?
This is a common question we get from personal injury claimants. Before we delve into the answer, there are two important points to consider: First, even if you were partially responsible for your injuries, you may still be entitled to compensation. Second, just because the opposing party or insurance company says you were partially liable doesn’t necessarily mean that’s true.
In the state of California, the financial recovery in a personal injury lawsuit is reduced by the plaintiff’s percentage of fault. Unlike other states, injury victims may be entitled to a recovery even if they were more than 51 percent liable for their injuries. This system is called “pure comparative negligence.”
For example, let’s say you were hit by a motor vehicle while riding your bicycle. At the time of the accident, you were breaking the law by riding in the far-left lane even though a bicycle lane was available. However, the motorist who hit you was driving well over the speed limit.
In this scenario, you may be held partially liable since the very reason why bicyclists are typically required to use bike lanes or ride as close to the right curb as possible is to avoid encounters with high-speed vehicles. But the driver might also be partially liable since he or she may have avoided the crash by obeying the speed limit.
If shared liability applies to your case, there are many factors that could influence the percentage of fault assigned to you. The Castroville personal injury attorneys at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers are well-versed in the case law and statutes pertaining to such cases, and they know what it takes to minimize the percentage of fault assigned to an injury victim. Our lawyers can gather evidence, talk to eyewitnesses, and review all available evidence to ensure your claim is as strong as possible before entering settlement negotiations.
We Are Respected by Insurance Companies Throughout California
Besides the obvious benefits of hiring an accident lawyer—such as getting answers to your questions, gathering evidence, calculating your damages, and handling the relevant paperwork—there’s a lesser-known advantage that often has a profound impact on personal injury proceedings: the attorney’s reputation.
When you hire a respected and well-credentialed trial lawyer, it tells the insurance company that you have the means to take your claim all the way to court if necessary. The insurer may therefore be more inclined to pay a fair settlement to avoid the cost of litigation. But if you represent yourself or turn to a lawyer who has a reputation for accepting the first settlement offered, the insurer might feel more confident about challenging your claim.
At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we make it clear from day one that we aren’t afraid to go to court if it’s in our client’s best interests to do so. Insurance companies throughout California know that we are tough litigators, and we use all the resources at our disposal to achieve the best possible outcome in every claim we handle. Our goal will be to get you fairly compensated without having to go to trial, but if your case ends up in court, you’ll have the confidence that comes with being represented by one of the most accomplished litigation firms in the state.
Speak to Our Castroville Personal Injury Lawyers Today: Call 1-800-GO-HARRIS
There can be a world of difference in the quality of representation offered by two different law firms. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we invest the time, effort, and resources needed to give each claim we handle the best chance of success.
We will perform a thorough investigation into your case and make sure you are treated fairly by the insurance company. Schedule a free consultation today by calling 1-800-GO-HARRIS or Click Here to send us a message online.

Insurance companies throughout California know that we are tough litigators, and we use all the resources at our disposal to achieve the best possible outcome in every claim we handle.
