Irv Gotti, co-founder of Murder Inc. Records, faces serious allegations of sexual assault and battery, as well as emotional distress, according to a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that Gotti, born Irving Domingo Lorenzo Jr., subjected her to repeated instances of sexual coercion and abuse over a period spanning from 2020 to 2022.
Details of the Allegations Against Irv Gotti
The lawsuit claims that the incidents began when Gotti took Jane Doe on a vacation to Saint Martin in the summer of 2020. There, he allegedly pressured her into sexual activities under threat of sending her home if she refused. Despite this initial coercion, the relationship continued, characterized by what Doe describes as constant abuse. She recounts being forced into unwanted sexual acts during their two-year relationship, which purportedly included distressing incidents in Miami and Atlanta.
During a stay at the Four Seasons hotel in Miami in January 2022, Doe asserts that Gotti compelled her to perform oral sex against her will. A subsequent trip to Atlanta allegedly saw similar abuse occurring within an Uber ride. The lawsuit states that following this event, the relationship terminated.
According to legal documents, Jane Doe claims to have suffered severe emotional and psychological harm as a result of these experiences, necessitating her admission to a psychiatric ward. The lawsuit further alleges that Gotti, leveraging his influence in the music industry, tarnished Doe’s reputation by spreading falsehoods within his social circle, instilling fear in her and restricting her ability to leave her home.
As of now, Irv Gotti has not publicly responded to these accusations. The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and includes claims for damages related to mental anguish. Pitchfork reached out to Gotti’s company, Visionary Ideas, for comment, but no response has been received at the time of writing.
