The woman suing Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, for alleged harassment and intimidation is speaking out in her first TV interview. Jennifer Hough joined Wednesday’s “The Real” alongside her lawyer, Tyrone A. Blackburn, to share that she’s “tired of being afraid” to share her side of the story publicly. Access Hollywood has reached out to Minaj’s team for comment on Hough’s interview. Attorneys for Petty previously declined to comment to NBC News when contacted about the lawsuit.
Rapper Nicki Minaj was dropped from a lawsuit alleging that she harassed and intimidated her husband’s sexual assault victim, according to court documents.
The motion was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
“The case against Nicki was voluntarily dismissed,” said attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who represents the accuser. “The case against Kenneth Petty is still ongoing. Stay tuned!”
The accuser publicly identified herself as Jennifer Hough. She alleged in the lawsuit that Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, tried to force her to recant a rape allegation Hough said happened more than two decades ago.
