The ongoing legal battle involving Nicki Minaj, her husband Kenneth Petty, and the plaintiff Jennifer Hough who claims Minaj attempted to harass and intimidate her continues.
According to Rolling Stone, Minaj was able to avoid a $20 million default judgment in the case where Hough claims she received a “relentless campaign of bribery, intimidation, harassment, and stalking.” Minaj reportedly filed paperwork last week indicating that she had hired a lawyer and that it took this long because of an “innocent mistake” and miscommunication between her and her legal team.
“My failure to respond to the complaint was the product of an innocent mistake, and I ask the court to excuse the delay so that I can defend what I believe to be an entirely frivolous case,” Minaj wrote in her sworn statement to the Eastern District of New York.
“I confirm the truth of those portions of defendant’s declaration concerning my role in her failure to secure my services promptly,” Judd Burstein, Minaj’s lawyer, wrote in a statement.
