MempHitz Loses Lawsuit Against K. Michelle

Back in 2012 Toya Wrights’ husband Mickey ‘MempHitz’ Wright sued R&B singer K. Michelle, VH1 and Love and Hip Hop producer Mona Scott-Young for defamation of character claiming his reputation had been damaged by K. Michelle’s claims that he physically abused her and stole the advance money from her record deal.  The case is finally over and MempHitz has come out on the losing end.

According to The Atlanta Journal and Constitution,

… in depositions Wright acknowledged he got into a physical altercation with K Michelle in a Memphis hotel altercation in 2009 and had spent money from Jive Record’s budget for jewelry, not to help her career, and had sent a text message threatening to kill K. Michelle’s son.

It’s not defamation if it’s true. Case closed.

MempHitz, who had been seeking $50 million in damages, admitted earlier this year that the decision to follow his wife Toya Wright’s advice to sue instead of going on the show to clear his name had put a strain on his marriage
