Mary J Blige has shown to be victorious in her legal battle. A case that alleged that Mary J. Blige and the judge Phaedra F. Perry-Bond ruled the motion to dismiss, arguing that the stylist’s failure to oppose this “constitutes the abandonment” of her claims. The court has described it as, “The court in no way condones parties filing lawsuits claiming millions in damages based on inflammatory accusations, only to have those very same parties abandon their allegations when faced with a motion to dismiss and sanctions,” the judge ruled. “Plaintiffs and their counsel shall consider this a warning to refrain from engaging in similar patterns of behavior in the future. This written warning may serve as weighty evidence on a future application for sanctions if plaintiffs and/or their counsel continue to engage in similar bad faith litigation tactics.”
The lawsuit started from Misa Hylton making it after Vado who she is the manager of the rapper was going to join Mary J. Blige on tour. It did not happen and she says it has impacted her greatly. Her attorney, Nicholas Ramcharitar, said “Ms. Hylton did not want this to become a public matter, She exhausted every avenue before resorting to the courts.” He also added to case, “These women were closer than biological sisters,. Misa did everything to keep this private—calls, texts, even letters to Mary’s legal team. But after months of silence and missed obligations, we had no choice but to file. This lawsuit wasn’t Plan A—it was Plan Z.” Mary J. Blige showed that the case had no real truth behind it and says it was made to negatively impact her.
