Former NBA star Scottie Pippen is being sued by Chyvette Valentine, who claims to have been his past partner. She has taken legal action against Pippen, accusing him of harassment and stalking. The lawsuit also names Larsa Pippen, Scottie’s ex-wife, alleging she contributed to Valentine’s distress.
The Allegations
Valentine alleges that she and Scottie Pippen had an intermittent relationship from 1987 to 1993. She claims that during this time, she was assaulted by Scottie and his brother, Carl Pippen, which she says resulted in the birth of her son. Valentine’s son, unfortunately, passed away in 2011.
The lawsuit details that after their relationship ended, Scottie Pippen used his fame and influence to harass and intimidate her. Valentine asserts that this caused her significant mental and emotional harm, leading to lost job opportunities and housing issues due to the alleged stalking.
The Claims Against Larsa Pippen
Larsa Pippen, known from the “Real Housewives of Miami,” is also implicated in the lawsuit. Valentine suggests that Larsa’s actions have added to her suffering, although the specific actions taken by Larsa are not detailed in the reports.
The Legal Proceedings
Valentine is seeking a substantial sum of $250 million in damages from Scottie Pippen, the Chicago Bulls organization, and his family members. The court documents indicate that Valentine believes Scottie canceled a police report she filed against him and manipulated records to portray her as mentally unstable.
Past Legal Efforts
This is not the first time Valentine has sought legal recourse against Scottie Pippen. Previously, she attempted to sue him for smaller expenses related to travel for their meetings. Now, with the stakes much higher, the case is set to be heard in court on May 2, 2024.
