Legal Documents From Ciara’s Lawsuit Against Future Revealed

Emails Between Ciara And Future’s Lawyers Reveal Details About $15 Million Libel Lawsuit

Ruh Roh! Details from the legal documents filed in conjunction with Ciara’s $15 lawsuit against Future have gone public.

Daily Mail Online published the explosive contents of a series of documents that led to the suit being filed at Fulton Superior Court in Georgia, which contain the chain of emails exchanged by lawyers acting for the former couple which include accusations of lying, missed drug tests and a communication breakdown sparked by Future’s use of ‘foul language’.

The communications also accuse Future of turning down several opportunities to visit with his son and scheduling other visits when he was performing out of the country or out of state:

The emails, which are part of a package of evidence by Ciara’s lawyer, Tanya Mitchell Graham, began on January 7 – just three days after Future posted a series of angry tweets.

Immediately after, lawyers acting for Ciara, served the rapper with a cease and desist order and asked him to issue a statement retracting the comments.

One email reads: ‘Additionally, Ms. Harris [Ciara] would require a retraction tweeted or released by Mr. Wilburn’s publicist, which states:

‘I regret the comments that I made in reference to Ciara via Twitter on January 4, 2016.

‘My statements were misleading. I apologize for using offensive language, and I also apologize for any inconvenience or ill will this may have caused.’

As you guys know already that apology never came. Instead, Daily Mail reveals that Future’s lawyer Jeff Smith accused Ciara and her lawyers of ‘artificially escalating the situation’.

And on that note — while many people do seem to feel that Ciara has been super petty by filing, the emails help to explain her thought process:

‘It sounds like maybe you are of the opinion that it is okay to air parenting frustration on a social media forum,’ reads an email from Ciara’s lawyer dated January 7.

‘Ms. Harris has been equally as frustrated but she has not posted anything negative about Mr. Wilburn to her six million Twitter followers about how he refuses to agree to mutual random drug tests.

‘She hasn’t posted anything negative about Mr. Wilburn to her 9.8 million Instagram followers about how he asks for parenting time when he is booked to perform out of state or out of the country.

‘In fact, she has asked to keep these matters private for the sake of the minor child [Future Jr.], and Mr. Wilburn has refused.

‘It is not in the child’s best interests, no matter how frustrated his famous parents are or how you spin it, for parents to post negative comments about each other on social media.

‘Calling Ms. Harris a ‘b***h’ on Twitter was so insulting and disrespectful.’

We can definitely see how all this could be frustrating to Ciara and most parents would probably agree or at least be able to understand Ciara’s perspective in the matter.

As for the tweets themselves, Cici’s lawyer basically calls them LIES:

The letter also insists that Future’s claim that he has to ‘go through lawyers’ to see his son is untrue and adds that the ‘parties were discussing parenting time directly until Mr. Wilburn began to use foul language in his communications’.

It continues: ‘Further, Mr. Wilburn said the “f***ery’ for 15k per month.” He doesn’t pay Ms. Harris $15k per month.

‘But that was said to put her in a negative light. And I still don’t know what ‘f***ery’ means, although I would say doing an interview calling Ms. Harris ‘evil’ or calling her a ‘b***h’ on Twitter might qualify as ‘f***ery’.

And for the breakdown on the $15 million FORTUNE Ciara wants for her pain and suffering — $10 million is for punitive damages and to ‘deter’ Future from making further comments. She wants $250,000 to cover her legal fees, a retraction and an apology from Future. Ciara also would like for Future to cease making comments about their private life with her son.
