50 Cent sued over attack
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 21 September 2011
50 Cent is being sued over an alleged assault by one of his employees at his home, although the rapper himself was not there at the time of the incident.
In court documents, seen by TMZ, Vasti Ortis claims that Dwayne McKenzie, who was employed by Fiddy in some capacity (though it’s not exactly clear what), invited a number of women back to the rapper’s home in Connecticut. Ortis claims that once there, McKenzie began making “graphic and vulgar sexual requests” of her. She says that she tried to leave but McKenzie held her down and ordered another woman to beat her, which she did, causing significant injuries.
Despite not being at the house while this happened, 50 Cent is apparently named as a defendant in the lawsuit because, Ortis says, he either knew or should have know that McKenzie had previous criminal convictions for assault.
