To absolutely no one’s surprise the sexual harassment lawsuit against Johnny Manziel was a complete hoax, but the story behind the man that filed it may be just as interesting as the document itself. In fact, Jonathan Lee Riches has done this to several other celebrities and is known as a ‘serial filer.’
Riches is a convicted felon who spent 10 years in prison for wire fraud. He gained fame by filing a number of ridiculous lawsuits while he was behind bars. In addition to Manziel, he has taken “legal action” against Kim Kardashian, Michael Vick and The Gap. He once vowed to “flood the universe with more lawsuits.”

Jonathan Lee obviously has nothing better to do than waste the judicial system’s time and with it tax payers’ money. Maybe they need to find a way to heavily fine or punish him every time he files a frivolous lawsuit.
