* KNIGHT APPEALS FOR JUDGE TO OVERTURN $130 MILLION RULING
Hip-hop mogul MARION 'SUGE' KNIGHT is urging a Los Angeles judge to dismiss a $130 million (£65 million) ruling against him, alleging it is fraudulent.
The former Death Row Records boss was ordered to make the payout in March 2005 to singer Lydia Harris, after she accused him of forcing her out of a job despite helping to set up the notorious music label with her then-husband Michael 'Harry-O' Harris. The case never went to trial, but the ruling was made after Knight's attorneys broke various court rules and failed to make the star's financial records readily available to the prosecution.
But Knight's legal team filed an appeal in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday (02Jan08) asking for the previous ruling to be overturned, after new evidence came to light of Harris and her now incarcerated ex's criminal past.
The suit claims Harris concealed information about her own financial difficulties during court proceedings in 2005, and did not reveal to the court that she had filed for bankruptcy five years earlier (00). During that time, she also failed to stake a claim in Death Row, prompting Knight's lawyers to become suspicious of Harris' actual intent.
Knight himself filed for bankruptcy in April 2006 as a result of the multi-million dollar ruling, reports SOHH.com. (MT/WNWCSO/CG)

(Cover) - FR Showbiz - Suge Knight a décidé d’abandonner ses poursuites à l’encontre de Chris Brown. Le cofondateur de Death Row Records a reçu 7 balles dans l’abdomen et le bras en août 2014 lors d’une fête donnée avant les MTV Video Music Awards et présentée par Chris Brown, à Los Angeles. La fusillade avait fait plusieurs autres blessés. L’année dernière, Suge Knight – qui a connu des complications de santé depuis l’incident – a décidé de poursuivre Chris Brown et le 1OAK, le club dans lequel se déroulait la fête qui a mal tourné. D’après lui, ils n’auraient pas fait le nécessaire pour assurer la sécurité des convives, ni la sienne.

D’après TMZ, les avocats de Chris Brown ont récemment prévenu que les poursuites avaient peu de chance d’aboutir et ont assuré qu’ils contre-attaqueraient le cas échéant. Ça a fait réfléchir l’intéressé, qui a rétropédalé et a décidé d’abandonner son action, d’autant qu’il a d’autres chats à fouetter.

En effet, Suge Knight est actuellement en prison, poursuivi dans une affaire de meurtre, tentative de meurtre et délit de fuite après un incident survenu en 2015 sur le tournage de Straight Outta Compton. Le producteur plaide non coupable et doit être jugé en janvier prochain.
