American rapper, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., known professionally as Snoop Dogg has been sued for sexual assault and battery by a woman who alleges the rapper assaulted her in 2013.
The woman who filed the lawsuit is identified as Jane Doe in court documents. She is described as a professional dancer, host, model, actress, and spokesmodel. Doe is also suing Snoop’s long-term friend and hip hop personality Bishop Don Juan .
In the complaint filed in California on Thursday, Doe alleges that she worked for Snoop and Don Juan as a stage dancer for their concerts in exchange for gifts.
In May 2013, Doe claims she and a friend went to one of the rapper’s performances at Club Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim, California. They went to the VIP area during the event, and “ran into” Don Juan.
Don Juan allegedly invited Doe and her friend to Snoop’s studio, where Doe’s friend stayed until “around midnight”.
She claims Don Juan told her,
“I can take you home or I can take you back to my place with me”
and she asked to go home.
She revealed that she fell asleep in the car and when she woke up, they pulled in at Don Juan’s home instead, where an “exhausted” Doe went back to sleep.
The woman then alleges she woke to him forcing her to perform oral sex before he rolled over and left her alone, per the lawsuit. According to her, Don Juan later woke her to go to a recording studio where Snoop was taping the television series Snoop Dogg’s Double G News Network.
Doe alleges in the lawsuit that at the studio she felt ill and went to the bathroom. After which she claims Snoop entered after her. She claims he then forced her to perform oral sex on him, which she did as she says she feared for her life.
The woman says that Don Juan later saw Doe and instructed her to take a photo with the rapper, which she did before Don Juan escorted her out of the studio.
The lawsuit alleges Snoop’s “actions were sexually predatorial,”. It further states that Doe “found herself thinking about her job security if she displeased Snoop. And alleges that she felt pressured due to his dominance, and his position of power over her. This includes his ability to hire and fire her. Also, to ensure that she would never be hired in his industry again.” (sic)
According to the suit, Doe has “suffered anxiety, stress, depression, nightmares, sleep disturbances, post-traumatic stress, headaches, severe
emotional distress and physical ailments.”. These are all as a result of Snoop and Don Juan’s alleged
actions. The suit further states that Doe has lost income, bonuses, compensation and other employment benefits.
