Future is back in court asking a judge to throw out Ciara’s $15 million defamation suit against him over a couple of tweets.
$15 million does seem like a lot for tweets and that is what Future is arguing to the judge. He also breaks down everything he said in the Tweets were opinions based off facts. Future also states that Ciara throws her relationship with Russell Wilson constantly in his face and using that to publicly shame him as a bad father.
Here is how he broke it down via the Jasmine Brand.
Future then breaks down the tweets that Ciara claimed ruined her reputation. He points out that he was asked about her new love Russell Wilson ONLY because both of them spoke about their wish to abstain from sex pending marriage. The rapper says clearly media outlets were going to ask him his thoughts.
He says all of his comments about his baby mama are opinion and not defamatory. He says that the idea that her reputation as a good mother was damaged which then had a trickle-down effect by ruining her business reputation is absurd.
In regards to his tweets containing the following statements, “This bitch got control problems ….”, “I gotta go through lawyers to see babyfuture..the f*ckery for 15k a month” and multiple others, he says that he meant Ciara was a ‘bitch’ when he tweeted it due to the word meaning “overbearing”, “complaining” and “unpleasant”. He says he has a right to have an opinion on Ciara being overbearing regarding the control she is exercising over his visitation rights with their son.
The tweet regarding lawyers is also true, with the rapper saying he has had to hire lawyers to help him see his son more frequently. And the $15k a month comment was the amount Ciara was demanding he pay or she would sue him and demand $20k a month in child support.
While the tweets weren’t nice, considering Future’s explanation I don’t think they are worth $15 million.
The lawsuit is more about hurt and pettiness than what is best for their child.
Flip the pages for the tweets…
