The-Dream, a prominent music producer, has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit from his former protégée, Chanaaz Mangroe, who accuses him of rape, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. His legal team argues that the complaint is a 'shotgun pleading' filled with irrelevant and defamatory allegations designed to damage his reputation. They seek to strike numerous claims, including the rape allegation, which they assert is not a separate civil cause under California law, and to dismiss his label, Contra Paris, LLC, due to lack of jurisdiction. The defense maintains that the relationship was consensual and accuses Mangroe and her legal team of exploiting the judicial system for financial gain and media attention. Mangroe's legal team disputes these claims and is prepared to oppose the motion. The case underscores significant legal and personal battles over the credibility and motivations of both parties involved.
