DMX Sued For Claiming He Was Raped By Mother Of His Son

DMX has been hit with a $2 million U.S. defamation lawsuit by the woman who claims to be the mother of his two-year-old son, Javon Micai Wayne, over comments he made in a recent interview with Sister 2 Sister Magazine.

Monique Wayne filed the suit against the Yonkers, New York rapper (real name Earl Simmons) on October 12. In it, she claims that she met DMX at a Washington, D.C. nightclub on August 2, 2003 and that they later spent part of the night having consensual sex at the Helix Hotel.

Wayne later announced to DMX that she was pregnant. She claims that he invited her to travel with him to shows and that the two of them spoke on the phone about parenting issues and child-rearing techniques. She filed a successful lawsuit after the boy was born to establish paternity and obtain child support.

In the Sister 2 Sister interview conducted late in the summer, DMX accused Wayne of raping and stalking him. "She raped me," he said in the magazine's October issue.

"I mean, you know, that might sound like some bullshit. No man has ever been. You know what I mean, like never? Is that the only thing in the world that's not possible?"

Wayne's lawyers claim that DMX made "mischaracterizations" about his interactions with their client, and that he knowingly made false and defamatory statements with intent to harm her. As a result, Wayne has suffered "severe emotional distress, anxiety, humiliation, damage to her character, distress, mental shock, mental anguish, and psychological trauma, and was otherwise injured and will remain injured for a considerable length of time."

The suit says that DMX's statements affected Wayne's character, reputation and standing in the community. She's seeking $1 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages, plus attorney's fees, interest and costs.
