Dr Love files countersuit against LA Lewis
US-based dancehall artiste and blogger Christopher ‘Dr Love’ Crooks has hired a lawyer to countersue LA Lewis for “malicious prosecution, invasion of privacy and abuse of the judicial process”.
“LA Lewis has gone too far with this thing now, this lawsuit he is filing against me and Ninjaman is frivolous. I have instructed my lawyers in the US to file a countersuit in the Jamaican courts against this man,” he said.
Two weeks ago, LA Lewis hired a lawyer to begin legal proceedings against fellow entertainers, Desmond ‘Ninjaman’ Ballentine and Christopher ‘Dr. Love’ Crooks over a picture disseminated over the Internet which suggests an intimate relationship between LA Lewis and Ninjaman’s allegedly gay son who is known as ‘Spuggy’.
A letter, written by Hannah Harris-Barrington, senior solicitor-at-law, gave the two artistes seven days to retract the slanderous statements and to issue a public apology or legal action will be initiated to recover “compensation, costs and legal interest”. The seven days have since transpired and LA Lewis is moving forward with the legal action.
“Ninjaman and Dr Love have slandered my name and they will not be getting away with it. They will be served with papers this week by my lawyers, because we are going to court,” a determined LA Lewis said.
The allegation has spawned several pictures online, some of which depict LA Lewis in what looks like a bridal veil next to Ninjaman’s son, Spuggy. LA Lewis has denied the rumours that he is involved in any sort of homosexual relationship.
Earlier this week, Dr Love released a single called Why You Doing It in which he makes disparaging remarks about LA Lewis calling him a “national fish”.
The talented 33-year-old song writer was born and raised in the rural community of Lluidas Vale, Ewarton St Catherine, and has strong political views.
He is also known for songs such as Why Should I Worry and Now I Am Strong. He has an upcoming show in Trenton, New Jersey alongside D’Angel, and Lady Genius.
