The woman who said she had rapper Future’s baby last year blasted the rapper’s defamation suit as infringing on her constitutional rights and nothing more than a bid to browbeat her into a bad settlement.

Eliza Reign accused Future of “forum shopping,” by filing frivolous legal claims against her in local, state and federal courts so that she’ll give in to a lowball settlement to support her baby daughter.

Reign said his federal defamation case was his latest attempt to punish her, and she’s asked the courts to throw it out, according to her new amended motion to dismiss, which filed March 23 and obtained by BOSSIP.

Last month, Future sued Reign for defamation, alleging that she blabbed about their sex life and other personal matters, which he said distressed him and damaged his reputation and wants her to pay money damages.

But Reign fired back, saying that Future’s defamation suit was his latest attempt “intimidate, harass, and financially drain” her so that she’ll accept a poor child support settlement, according to her court papers. Reign’s lawyer said Future’s lawyer hasn’t told the truth to the court about her knowledge of events and failed to follow legal protocol by not giving Reign or him a five-day notice that they planned to file suit.

Through her lawyer, Reign also contended that she had every right under the First Amendment to discuss her relationship with Future, especially since she said it involved unprotected intimacy resulted in the birth of her daughter. The mom said Future is well aware that as a public figure, details of his sex life will become public knowledge.

Reign said she was Future’s “paramour of several years” and complained that he has stonewalled her in her paternity and child support case against him but has still failed to provide his court-ordered DNA results, nor has he met the little girl, let alone support her.

Reign is one of two women who sued the Atlanta artist over fathering children with them in the last year. Last week, another woman, Cindy Parker, asked the courts to drop her paternity suit against him after they likely reached an out of court settlement over the support and paternity of her baby son.

A seemingly unbothered Future, 36 continues to self isolate at the LA mansion of his gal pal Lori Harvey, 22.

A judge hasn’t yet ruled on Reign’s motion.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines.

After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations.

Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
