Overview
- Vanessa LeMaistre filed the civil suit in October 2024, alleging that in 2016 Boomin drugged and raped her during a studio session, resulting in a pregnancy she later terminated.
- A joint status report filed August 11 in U.S. federal court in Los Angeles confirmed that a July 18 mediation and limited settlement talks collapsed, propelling the case toward trial.
- LeMaistre’s lawyer asserts that Boomin’s defense has failed to comply with basic discovery obligations and court orders, prompting motions over evidence compliance.
- Boombin’s attorney has branded the lawsuit a “pure shakedown,” denied the allegations as false and signaled plans to counter-sue for malicious prosecution if he prevails.
- Concurrent to the legal proceedings, the Grammy-nominated producer is promoting his newly released mixtape “Futuristic Summa.”
