Last year rapper Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth 'Zoo' Petty refused to settled the lawsuit filed against him by Jennifer Hough after she accused him of threatening her for refusing to help him get off the sex offenders registry, by recanting the claims that got him convicted on r ape charges back in 1995 [click here if you missed that].
Now Jennifer is accusing Zoo of refusing to sit for a deposition...
From In Touch
The woman suing Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, accused him of refusing to appear for a deposition as part of their never-ending court battle, In Touch can exclusively reveal.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Jennifer Hough, the victim involved in the criminal case brought against Kenneth, 46, that led to him being convicted of attempted rape in 1995, asked the judge presiding over her civil lawsuit to step in.
In her new letter to the judge, Jennifer claimed she sat for a six-and-a-half hour deposition on July 9.
Her lawyer said, “Toward the end of the deposition, [Kenneth’s] Counsel began harassing [Jennifer] with questions that were wholly inappropriate and unrelated to this case. Counsel for [Kenneth] was asking [Jennifer] questions concerning whether [Jennifer] colluded with the federal government. After [Jennifer] said no to multiple variations of this question, [Kenneth’]s Counsel began questioning [Jennifer] about her thoughts on Hollywood movies and began questioning her about either the Spider or Batman movies.”
Jennifer’s lawyer said “after several warnings to move on from this pointless and harassing line of questioning,” he ended the deposition.
As a result, Jennifer’s lawyer said Kenneth’s team refused to present him for his scheduled deposition on July 16. “This is the third time [Kenneth] has adjourned or refused to appear for a deposition. Time after time, Counsel for Defendant Steven Issner came up with excuse after excuse to delay the [Jennifer’s] right to depose [Kenneth].”
Jennifer asked for permission to file a motion to compel Kenneth appear for a deposition in the case.
At the moment, Kenneth is on probation after being sentenced for failing to register as a sex offender when he moved.
