Mickey “Memphitz” Wright is filing a defamation lawsuit against K.Michelle, NFGTV Inc., Monami Entertainment and Viacom. Memphitz is asking for $1 per viewer per episode that his character has been defamed. Being that K. Michelle spoke of her abuse in most of the show’s episodes, it seems as though Memphitz is looking for a pretty hefty pay day. As reported by TheYBF:
“According to his legal team, Memphitz is pissed about the “assassination of his character” on the VH1 show “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.” Even though she has not said his name, star K.Michelle has made several accusations on the show that her ex-manager and ex-lover (both of whom describe Memphitz) physically abused her and stole from her. She has engaged in numerous Twitter fights with Memphitz’s new wife, Toya Wright, who has been defending her hubby since the accusations started. Memphitz has also claimed from the start K.Michelle’s stories are nothing but lies.”
Memphitz said in a statement today:
“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.”
And counsel Moore backs up the statement saying:
“[Kimberly Michelle 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.”
