Viewers of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood got an exclusive look into the events that led up to Teairra Mari's current court case. The singer had initiated a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, Akbar Abdul-Ahad, before the former couple's backstory was aired to the public.
In one episode, the cameras rolled as Teairra realized that her boyfriend was actually married in addition to having another mistress. When she attempted to end things with the player, a tape of one of her sexual encounters with him was leaked on social media.
The lawsuit that was filed concerning the leak has been virtually ignored. Although Akbar claims he is innocent, he has failed to acknowledge the issue in a legal manner. The man was served at three different addresses but has yet to respond to the case, which seeks punitive damages.
Teairra Mari's legal team submitted a request to the judge that would put the defendant in default since he had ignored the case. The court rejected the request based on the fact that the plaintiff never served him with a statement that specified the compensation she sought for the damages she claimed.
50 Cent, who got caught up in the case for having re-posted the leaked clip, successfully got himself off the hook based on his right to free speech.
