This week, Irv Gotti, co-founder of Murder Inc., faced a civil lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct. The lawsuit, filed by a Jane Doe in Miami-Dade County, claims that Gotti forced the plaintiff to perform oral sex in public places multiple times over a two-year relationship, causing significant mental distress. Gotti is vehemently denying these accusations and is contemplating legal action of his own.
A representative for Gotti responded to the lawsuit on Thursday, asserting that it was filed after Gotti refused to comply with what they described as the plaintiff’s attempt to extort money from him. The representative criticized the lawsuit, noting that it contains “a single page of ‘facts’ which are unsworn to, sparse by any measure, and which Mr. Gotti categorically denies.”
In response to the allegations, Gotti’s representative highlighted his longstanding respectful relationships with women. They pointed out that he has been surrounded by strong women his entire life, including his mother, five sisters, and daughter. The statement also mentioned that the top employees at his company are women and that his relationships with women have been marked by mutual respect, honesty, and empathy. “The allegations represent an affront to women who have truly suffered abuse,” the representative added. They emphasized that Gotti’s reputation is at stake and that he will vigorously fight the “baseless claim” in court. Additionally, Gotti is considering filing a countersuit for defamation.
This legal battle comes at a time when public figures are increasingly being held accountable for their actions, with the outcomes of such cases closely watched by both the public and the media. As the case progresses, more details are likely to emerge, shedding further light on the nature of the allegations and Gotti’s defense.
