Metro Boomin, a prolific hip-hop producer who released two chart-topping albums with Future this year, was sued for an alleged sexual assault a woman says resulted in pregnancy, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday—allegations the producer’s lawyers are denying.Key Facts
Vanessa LeMaistre, 38, alleged in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles that Metro Boomin, whose real name is Leland Wayne, sexually assaulted her in September 2016 after inviting her to the studio to watch him work.
LeMaistre alleged Wayne had given her a shot of alcohol immediately after arriving at the studio and that she took half a dose of Xanax, which she had used to cope with the recent loss of her nine-month-old son, after which she said she blacked out and later woke up to Wayne sexually assaulting her while she was unable to consent to sexual activity.
LeMaistre claimed she found out she was pregnant several weeks later and the pregnancy must have been from Wayne’s alleged assault, as she had not had sex with anyone else during that period.
LeMaistre said she chose to terminate the pregnancy in November 2016 because of the “recent loss of her son and the traumatic cause of her pregnancy.
